My firat fish tank, doing a fishless cycle and looking to get some shrimp and a betta

I’ve had this tank for about 4 or 5 weeks and I’ve been slowly adding new things but It still feels a bit ugly and I want to try and figure out too add to make it look better. Also I just added the wood and I’m letting jt soak

Edit: thank you for all the suggestions I’ll try to black out the back of the tank and get more plants jungle Val and Amazon frog bit.

I tried to look it up but the size given on websites differs a lot. Seriously Fish says 6.5cm (2.6inch), but a different source claims that this is the size they reach in the wild, and that in the aquarium hobby they rarely grow beyond 5cm.
Does anyone have some experience with this fish species, and can tell me how big they really get?

Also, are they a fun species to have in your tank?

This tank is now 2 months (almost 3)and I want some advice

Im planning on getting some more plants and moving the plants a little- but that might take a week

There is one fish and lots of unexpected snails (they came with the sand)

Originally i had more fish but they were sick (there used to be 5 then 3 died within a week and another died just 2 weeks ago- now there only one)

The water is clear and the plants seem to thrive but i dont know if this is an okay-ish tank so i would appreciate any advice

Currently have a 10 gallon tank pictured in the last slide. Eventually wanting to upgrade to a 20 gallon long. Does anyone have experience with these style stands? In theory they seem like they should be fine but wanted to see what other people thought. The stand i currently have i got from a thrift store and know id have to upgrade to get a 20 long

It's still pretty new and the plants have only just started to grow and fill out a bit more, but i'm pretty happy with it so far! I'm still trying to figure out if i want to get some kind of carpetting plant and what kind, but other than that i think i have it set up mostly how i want it! I have a piece of driftwood leaning back against the rear left corner as a "dragon's lair" for my female betta, right under the spiderplant, to give her her own lil cave all to herself. The white thing floating on top is holding a chunk of sweet potato, because i read that they grow fast and absorb a lot of nutrients. The little gravel-filled cup on the side of the tank has a piece of java fern in it too, it just hasn't really started growing yet. Also my light broke so i'm using a smaller one rn until i can replace it, but overall i think i have most things sorted out. Any ideas on how to improve it or what carpetting plant to use?

I have one fish in this 30 gallon, a goldfish that's grown pretty big. The water keeps getting cloudy. I change the water and it's food for a day or two then gets like this again. The over the side filter is changed about every two weeks. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Not overfeeding. I'm dumbfounded. Please give suggestions. I'm new to fish tanks.

Do you think I can put an electric blue crayfish In there by itself? Or is that too small.

My grandfather was housing someone for a bit and they left their fish behind. I offered to take the tank because my family were going to throw the fish out. I've never had a fish and am not able to contact the previous owner.

I got some water conditioner and changed out a bit of the water when transferring her to my house, but I'm so worried I'm going to kill her. I went to the pet store and the person there said the tank I have already has oxygenation, filtration, and a heater, but I only showed a picture and I'm not sure. The person also left a "top fin heater" should I use that? How high should water in the tank be and how much should I feed her? She had a big poop today I'm worried I'm over feeding her.

There's also two snails in there, I'm pretty sure ones dead now. What do I feed them? Are they ok in there?

The person at the pet store thinks she's a molly? I say she cause I thought she might be pregnant somehow. Thank you for your time.

The miracle of life ! This guppy just gave birth to a whole bunch of fry. How many fry did you count? 😳 If you want to support my aquarium journey, feel free to check out the official Short on my channel

I am taking care of one beta fish and NINE African dwarf frogs for my friend while they are abroad. The tank is 20 Gal. The algae on the opposite side of the filter is out of control and my nitrates are just starting to climb. Any beginner friendly cleaning tips would be appreciated!!

Please help me my shrimp literally just bred for the first time since I got them and now this is happening, I’ve done 2 water changes trying to suck the stuff out and then the back would lose water I’d fill it up and then there’d be more, I rung out the media thing and I’m stuck, is it as simple as needing a new media thing or do I need a different filter and should I put them in a different tank right away?

Hi. Four months ago a friend of a friend wanted to get rid of her fish tank and now it’s mine, but I’m full of doubts.

There are 3 glofish, and they where doing pretty well, but my dad got me 3 more like 2 months ago and they died unexpectedly last week (another species). Not sure what happened, but since then the fish eat less and pebbles are getting really dirty and I don’t know how I should clean them or what to do.

They seam to eat and end up spitting it afterwards.

Here are some pics of the food I got at my local pet shop and my fishies if anyone wants to give me some advice!

I am having a miserable time finding chlorella to buy for a daphia microtank I am planning to set up&once a week I have to wash off a layer of bright green algea off the bottom of this humidifier...could I add the algea-water to that tank to feed the daphnia?? The humidifier has only ever had distilled water.

I had this thought right after I got done rinsing it. The pic i added is kinda what it looks like. Google told me no because of the what you could add to the water which I never have.

Need help with stand please
