I have a 135 gallon tropical tank, a 40 gallon guppy tank that I (regretfully) neglect, and a 20 gallon tank. The 20 gallon is my betta tank and requires the absolute most work to keep it clean. The smaller the tanks, the more difficult they are to maintain, in my opinion!

Bettas are also tropical, so they require a heater. And they're very sensitive to filters with any kind of water flow, and require sponge filters instead therefore

Yes. 10% water change a week, and checking water parameters frequently

@Versa, even a betta aquarium?

I had a betta as a starter fish. With any fish, it's important to remember aquariums are a heck ton of work

Plants don’t add bacteria but they do consume some of the toxins

@Em, that's a good idea. Do the plants add bacteria too?

Beneficial bacteria can be hit or miss I’ve heard but I personally have had good results with it. If you can steal some established filter media from someone that boosts it too

If you add beneficial bacteria which you can get at pet stores it can make it faster :)

With cycling though you have to take into account a brand new fresh tank can run forever but unless something is put into the system, it will never be cycled because the beneficial bacteria doesn't have anything to feed on

Yeah I did have issues with nitrite for months myself thinking back

@Zz, just a month is nothing. I can do that. My research says 10-12 weeks which is like 3 months!

Well if you are wanting just one, a betta is the way to go. They are super friendly and personable and very easy to care for

I second the research. Specifically research the nitrogen cycle. Running it for A week isn’t enough usually. Mine took a month

I think I am just scared of having multiple fish vs just one.

Straws July 25, 2017 01:37 AM

I know it's a premium feature to pull straws, but do you have to be premium to have straws? Say, if a basic stable won a contest that involved straws, would the straw owner be able to send them the straw they won? If so, how would the winner go about using the straw? Just wanted to know because I see so many contests that involve straws and I was wondering what happens if basic stables win straws or are offered straws in exchange for a horse or something. Thanks!

No, basic stables can't receive, pull or use straws. Usually in contests like that, the owner (who's usually Premium) can offer the winner X amount of LC's. (Live covers)

If you were once premium, but your upgrade ran out, you don't lose straws that were in your possession. But as a basic stable, you can't do anything involving straws.
