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

What about guppies as a starter fish?

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.

Resizing? March 13, 2025 04:21 PM

Hey there!!
Normally when I make pieces for this website I'd make it on a 500x500 canvas. Understandably, banners lack quality and when I resize I lose that quality and my details turn blurry. In addition working on a larger canvas gives sharper details but once again when resized I lose most if not all of my crisp lines.
Is there a way to resize without losing quality? I've also made 1000x1000 images and just kept the horse itself in a 500x500 square but when I add details to the background and have to cut them out that sorta sucks.

Hi! So for stable avatars and banners, the best way to reduce quality loss is to save them and reduce them as png images. PNG images are larger than JPG/JPEG and they also help to maintain crispness. However, this doesn't work for a horse avatar as the image size restrictions are smaller (100kb vs 300kb). I would say your strategy to keep the size of the actual horse in a smaller area is a great strategy but I totally understand the frustration of losing background details.

Thank you! I actually am gonna attempt this. I have an image converter I like to use so maybe if I keep horse avi's in png and then converter them after resize it'll help? We'll see XD

If you convert PNG horse avi to JPEG while resizing, it's going to make it much smaller and probably kill the quality... so I typically do JPEG to JPEG for those but I hope you figure it out! <3
