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.

Hello,

Ok so I really want to get into doing art so making Stable sets, Club sets, horse Avis etc as it seems quite cool to do. Im looking for some tips to start doing it, I know how to get stock so that bit is easy. It's just the editing side of it. Is there a special app to use and stuff like that. I just have a basic Asus laptop which I've had for many years xD and it's just something I can play around with.


Any help and advice would be absolutely amazing and I would appreciate it loads. You can either PM me or say on the forum. Again anything would be greatful if it isn't a lot x

I use GIMP on my laptop. Its free and is similar to PS. It takes a little getting used to but it is for sure the best, free program out there.

Once you get GIMP, watch some tutorials, get to know how everything works and the basic idea on how to manipulate images.

Then I asked artists like Jellos Warmbloods, who uses GIMP also, for tips on things I was struggling on. For instances, main and tails.

Other than that its just lots of practice :),
