Exotic Environments Purple Ridge Coral Cave with Plants Aquarium Ornament

Exotic Environments Purple Ridge Coral Cave with Plants Aquarium OrnamentThe color is not as it appears in the picture more of a weird pinkish-orange color to the coral. Other than that it is nice and my betta seems to enjoy it.

Soft Foxtail Color: Blue, Size: Mini

Soft Foxtail Color: Blue, Size: MiniThis is a real pretty ornament. It is fluffy and flowing ( not made of plastic ) and once put in water it fluffs right out. It is "mini" so not as tall as one might expect. Most of the foxtails I find are too tall. I like this one. I put it in my tank with a red and an orange mini foxtail and they serve to brighten up the whole tank. The fish seem to love these foxtails. The colors are deep and rich. A nice, affordable addition. This one is really reasonably priced! I would recommend it. It looks very nice in a five and a ten gallon tank and I am sure it would work in any size tank. It is that pretty.

It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be, and mine seems skinnier than the picture displays. But it's the right shade of blue that I wanted, so I like it.

Aqueon 06020 Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner, 4-Ounce

Aqueon 06020 Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner, 4-OuncePLEASE BUY THIS FOR YOUR BETTA!

There are only a few products on the market that both filter tap water and moisturize for betta fish. I've been using this now for three weeks and the tear marks on my betta are closing and you can see new skin beginning to generate. I can't imagine being without this product.

Update: My fish tried to make a break for it and jumped into the sink. He got a bit torn up during the retrieval process. I was really upset at the way he looked when I got him back into his bowl. FYI, I clean the water every week. After two weeks his tears were repaired. Now, after using this for two months he looks like a new fish. This stuff is truly amazing. I can't say enough great things about this product.

I could tell my betta was much happier once I started using this. I was using a sample of Zoo Med's water conditioner that came with his fish tank, and it didn't seem to be doing much. I switched to this once it came, and he started blowing bubble nests once I started putting it in the water!

However, it is a very small bottle, and goes fast, and if you keep buying new ones at $7 a bottle...it adds up. I have no complaints whatsoever about the product itself! I love it! But I switched to API stress coat conditioner, just because it's cheaper, comes in bigger bottles, and I use far less of it per gallon (1/2 mL of API per gallon vs. 5 mL of Aqueon per gallon.)

It only takes about five or six drops in a gallon of water. It's very convenient, it lasts a long time, and it's worth the low price.

This is a good product. However, I have Amazon Prime so it was automatically sent to me via 2-day shipping which obviously involved air travel. When it arrived, the package was dripping fluid, as the top had burst due to the air pressure inside the plane and all the contents had leaked out. I returned the empty bottle and asked for a replacement, hoping it was just a fluke that all the liquid leaked out the first time. The replacement package arrived 2 days later with TWO bottles of the product, each one having leaked about half its fluid. I combined what was left into one bottle and was happy. But really Amazon, just ship it via UPS Ground next time.

When I first got my male betta, he had some pretty bad fin rot and was missing most of his lovely fins. Now I am able to change almost all of the water in his 3.5 Gal tank every week by adding 3 tsp of this conditioner with tap water and all his fins have grown back. I will continue to use this as long as I have a betta.

Impeller for Eheim 2226, 2227, 2228 and 2229 Canister FiltersI needed a replacement Impeller since the magnet on mine broke in two. Quick easy fix and I was back in business in a couple minutes.

It replaced the part in our canister filter and worked perfectly. It was much easier to replace the impeller than the entire filter

PondCare 180B Spring and Autumn Pond Fish Food Premium Pellet, 39-Ounce

PondCare 180B Spring and Autumn Pond Fish Food Premium Pellet, 39-OunceI always use seasonal fish food. My pond fish are healthy and regularly reproduce. I think the size of the food is easier for them to consume than the sticks, especially for the little ones.

This product is excellent to fed your pond friends, when their water temperatures are in the 50's and lower 60's. ('Spring and Autumn' food has a lower amount of protein, which is ideal for your fish when your weather starts to get cooler) You can switch to their "regular warm weather food" when the water temperature's reach about 70 degree's. As many people may know, pond fishes digestion is not operating at 100% when their water is too cool. In fact you shouldn't feed your fish at all, when the water temperature falls in the low 40's. They go into a hibernation-like state and will not want to eat. Their bodies are designed to handle no food during cold weather and they survive well using their built up body fat reserves.

The 'Spring and Autumn' food has just the right amount of protein, vitamins and minerals, when the water temperatures are low. It keeps my fish healthy and happy, when they start to go into the cooler weather. If your pond is heated, check the water temperature to see if it is warm enough to give your fish any food. Do not feed your fish at all if the water temperature is below 49 degrees.

I have found PondCare products to exceed my expectations, when the product instructions are followed carefully.

Perfect food for both gold fish and Koi. They love it. We also purchased the Summer food since both are not available at our local supply store.

This is one of the healthiest compositions of fish food available, with more actual vegetable and protein nutrients than grain filler. Not only do my pond fish LOVE it, all my ducks go wild over it as a treat. I use it all year-round, including it as a portion of the summer diet as well as being the cold-weather staple for pond-fish. It's always gone in a few minutes.

T-4301SL: Finnex Low Iron Aquarium Kit - 4 Gallons, HOB Filter, Silver Light: Blue/White Bulb

T-4301SL: Finnex Low Iron Aquarium Kit - 4 Gallons, HOB Filter, Silver Light: Blue/White BulbThis is a nice tank as small tanks go. It's barely big enough for a betta in my opinion, but much better than a bowl. The quality of the glass is nice. However, my tank was not glued together quite straight, and had a slight wobble. It arrived with a small crack in the bottom edge that protruded, so I had to place it on a slab of cushy rubber to use it.

The light fixture looks good and does not stand out as much as I thought it would. However, the blue-white bulb burned out after just a few months of running 8 hrs/day. Also, any water touching the plastic light supports that sit over the tank edge will somehow wick up over the glass edge to drip down the outside, flooding whatever it sits on. You have to be careful not to fill the water too high.

The hob filter is adequate. Being a small filter, it clogs easily. However, as long as you keep it clean, it does a good job, and is pretty silent. I cushioned mine with silicone bumpers to reduce vibration on the tank.
