Question #3:

Tank mate for Beta fish and other questions?

Ok we have ever had a beta fish. Our current seek is a couple eld old, flourishing and happy. He is kept solo in a 3 gal cell with heat and filtration. Fed both beta flake which he prefers and beta pellets. Feeding is maybe kinda inconsistent. I dispense for once a day, commonly 2-3 pellets or a some flake But confessedly I block on some days. He typically eats up what I provide him, but if it sinks to the bottom moreso a prob with pellets he apparently does not go down and intend them.

1st question. He is in an established tank. I do weekly water changes. I do not modify filter with water changes but but remotion in his siphoned liquid and replace to filter. I siphon most a gal to gal and a half weekly and replace with RO water that has been treated. I believe, I am effort a bacterial develop a couple days later. His explore and imitation plant module intend a cloudy with nearly a slippy appearance. This does go away a some days later on its own. Any advice how to keep this from happening? It does not seem harmful to him as he eats and swims most happily. I use stress cover and stresszyme at water changes along with a pinch of aquarium salt.

2nd question. Can I introduce a lowermost feeder of whatever sort into his tank? Which bottom feeder would be a good option considering it is meet a 3 gal? I hit tried crabs in the past and they were a pain in the butt...not to mention I can't seem to keep them aware for daylong LOL. I have had plecos in the time in my percoidean tank and see this filler tank is not appropriate for them. Many of the other bottom feeders I am familiar with run to be fin nippers...am I absent something that may work?
A new separate is actually place in every 2 weeks but not at the aforementioned time as siphoning and replacing water.

Typically I do use straightforward RO. My tap liquid cannot be used as metal content is far too high and it is black. Occasionally I will buy bottled outflow water instead...would that be a better choice? OR what crapper I add to the RO liquid to attain it better for the fish. Perhaps this is why I am getting the slippy cloudiness that lurches on ornaments in the tank?

Gotcha, I kinda intellection a 3 gal would exclusive accommodate the beta. But wanted to ask just in case I could add a lowermost feeder.

Question #4:

Easiest to breed dwarf cichlid?

Cichlid shaking/vibrating and moving gravel..?

Okay so I just got digit cichlids today, and they are digit different kinds, I'm almost positive. One is blue and it has a black dorsal fin, and the another one is bigger and rounder and it's brown, orange, blue, purple, and green. They're both african cichlids, but exclusive the blue digit is having some issues. I'm not just sure how to them, and I know you crapper pick them up and verify that way, but I rattling dont poverty to pick them up the prototypal period I put them in the tank. You know? But they both motion each other around, and the blue one was shaking/vibrating and it was making me troubled like he was stressed or something. I googled it tho, and whatever ppl keep saying that it could be mating/territorial things. The blue digit also kept sticking by the orange digit but they still like cut apiece another and everything and the blue digit started moving whatever of the gravel with her representative and making a lowercase mess in the gravel. I've never had cichlids before and I'm rattling newborn to this so some aggregation would help. It could even be the water someone said. But as I expressed before, only the chromatic one is shaking and moving things around, but maybe it's because they were digit dif. cichlids and came from different tanks? Idk, so some content would be good, like i said. : THANKS GUYSSS. <33

The tank I got it discover of had threesome assorted labels low it, and the large digit got up to 30 inches and the picture didn't match some of the seek in the tank because the lady said they didn't hit any of them. :\ So ya, and I don't know ground you gave me much an attitude in your answer, I'm asking because I poverty to ready my seek bright and healthy, so if you have a difficulty with someone disagreeable to learn something and improve their knowledge, then I'd revalue it if you meet didn't even respond at all. But thanks for telling me its just behavior, on a seek installation grouping said it could be a aggregation of assorted things. The most ordinary was mating/territorial issues, and the next ordinary abstract was behavior.
