I have a 10 gallon tank and I have one betta fish in it. I plan on putting some of the following: cory catfish, tetras, guppies, algae eaters, golden apple snail, african dwarf frog, and nerite snail. I’m not going to put all of these animals in there, just some. I want to know what kind of sand or rocks could fit my tank and these animals. Specific names and details would be most appreciated.

i have tried dried food…frozen…dried algae…wont eat any of those..what else is left before he starves..he just pecks on the sand and rocks all day..cant possibly be enuf food there for a good size fish like this..

I’ve had him for a few months now. I feed him regularly, clean his tank once every week or so, and I always condition his bowl. He’s a blue and red fish (very pretty) and just two days ago I noticed his color is not as bright as it used to be. Its like it has faded. And when he swims, he seems to struggle. When he swims up towards the top of his tank it seems like something is weighing him down so he mostly stays at the bottom in his rocks. He’s normally a pretty active fish so Im a little concerned. If anyone has an idea of what could be wrong please let me know. I don’t want my fish to die! THANKS!

1. Ever since we switched to sand from rocks our water looks cloudy is that going to make or fish not have there babies?
2. Are Molly’s generally shy, how do I make my black molly get pregnant and stop running away from my white molly?
3. My silver dollar fish is sad, if I get him a friend is he going to breed as fast as the guppes?
4. Is it wrong for me to feed the guppie babies to my brothers Oscar?

On Saturday I got a zebra loach. It was in the tank that day. Sunday, I didn’t see it. And it’s now Wednesday and I still haven’t seen it. I called the store and they said that they sometimes hide for a couple days, but it’s been a few. So I’m just wondering if it would be normal for it to still be hiding. I moved around the rocks some the first day looking for it. Then took out the rocks that weren’t necessary. I’m worried that I buried it under a rock and killed it.
So, I was just wondering if anyone else has experiences with a zebra loach disappearing for several days.
