Betta suddenly got sick after adding some new tetras to a happy healthy community tank. Corys are also looking a bit down. Ok to treat the whole tank?

Yes. Just do the recommended dose. It will only have adverse effects on some live plants, but even then most recover shortly after

Yes, you can treat the entire tank. I treates Corys with and had no issue. Scaleless fish are at the most risk by any medication but then again, they are also at risk of any disease or fungus they have too. Good luck.

I use these for my breeder tanks 20 gal. it just provides enough beneficial bactiria for two 6 inch fish for couple of day as they require frequent water changes so i think (NO)

Doubtful, your filtration will probably gather them all up before the had a chance to hatch. Also not sure if the salinity matches from your tank and what they hatch in.

There is no bacteria in a new filter or new aquarium. If you're setting up a new tank l recommend the Fluval product for adding beneficial bacteria. You must let the tank condition by letting it run for several days before adding any fish other than a few inexpensive feeders to help condition the water and if available an inexpensive plant like hygrophelia. During this period test your water daily... once It is stable and everything checks out for your breed(s) of fish before you stock it.

Yes add at the same time. Test your water everyday. Go on the tetra website tons of useful q&a;

That's what I have done; because of my hood, I can't raise the lip of the filter very much above the level of the water. I would have liked to be able to; that way there would be some aeration. I do have a smaller model in my 5 gallon betta tank that I don't have supplemental air. Because of this, occasionally I notice a sheen on the surface of the water. If your fish can handle extra circulation, I say go ahead and do it. I've been using a Top Fin pump from a local business that is still going strong after a year

I have no idea. I washed it thoroughly and placed it in the tank. My fish have experienced no ill effects.

Perhaps my betta is not a strong swimmer, but i have to turn it off to feed him otherwise he can't catch his food and you can forget about the food for the tetras if i don't turn off the filter it snows food in the tank. They have always lived with a very low movement filter to mimic his natural stagnant water so perhaps he never learned to swim with a current.

No it won't hurt the fish at all. There is a slot that is next to the blue filter. You can use a flat bio filter in it instead of the wheel. It all works the same. Just remove the wheel and add the bio filter.

I've had three betta's in this and never had a problem. I turned the filter down to the lowest level and put a sponge over the output. That way I still have flow, but not too powerful. My betta's thrive in the extra space and clean water. :)

I think fitting a new filtration system in the place of this one is possible because it just hangs at the back of the tank. If you don't overload the tank this filtration system is just perfect. I have 3 tetras and two dwarf frogs and this filtration hasn't failed me .. great tank overall !

Absolutely you can use it on bettas. Just make sure the dosage is right for the amount of water the betta is in.

No, as long as you don't put a betta in that tank. Bettas require still water or extremely light current and this one is way too powerful.

Full grown guppies should be ok. My Betta actually likes to suck himself against the filter intake and chill there. He has been ok and hasn't been hurt by it. I don't think babie gupies would be ok though.

Haven't encountered any problems yet. I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium deticated specially for my guppies. I have co2 runnning and seachem fert lines ( excel, iron, flourish, npk). I doze it according to the bottle. So far all my guppies and frys are all happy and healthy.

I was wondering the same thing. In my area there is a lot of chlorine in the tap water, (you can smell it). Plus, don't you have to let the water settle to the same temperature as your tank? I've got a lot of money invested in my fish and I'm kind of hesitant about risking killing them all by mistake. I called PetSolutions.com to ask and they said it had to be filtered water. What I started doing is setting the refill buckets up on the platform of my 6 ft. aluminum ladder and letting it siphon back into the tank, that way it doesn't disturb anything.

you can add water conditioner to the tank immediately after the water change. It shouldn't hurt your fish.
