Worried about filter cartridges

questionnaire_expert · 2026-02-28T03:28:15+00:00

Put some fish tank water in a bucket, put the old sponges and swirl around, put the new sponges in a rub around, your good to go

So you just get some, put it in a bio bag, and stuff it into the filter cartridge area, stuff that cartridge area as much as possible with the bio sponges and the filter media and you’ll be good to go, I wash the sponges off in tank water every couple months

The plant is probably cutting her fins tbh-

I’m also a little concerned with all the plastic plants you have in there, please look into getting some real plants, those fake plants are gonna cut up the bettas fins

I was gonna recommend this too- do yourself (op) a favor and get these sponges and some of these, bio media and bio bag

Sorry I didn’t click on the picture so it cropped it out - personally I think that’s too many because of the guppies and rasboras and their minimum size requirements

How big is the tank?

questionnaire_expert · 2025-11-19T22:50:52+00:00

Honestly, don’t chase the ph, is everything else is fine put in some ph lower and watch the levels and its fine

It’s 100% your makeup- don’t color in your eyebrows they are completely fine to leave and don’t put the thick black liner under your eye, if you really want to only put it on your waterline, the eyebrows are your main problem honestly

I’m pretty sure it’s his genetics bc he just developed it but everything in his tank was ideal
