Food
Foods I suggest and love to feed.
The only brand of food I feed my Bettas. Since I switched to this from Aqueon, one of my male Bettas fins grew longer and all five of my Bettas got more vibrant in color.
Ultra Fresh Betta Fish Food, Shrimp Patties
Great food for my guppies. This food makes them look so amazing. Sometimes, my Bettas will steal it, too!
Ultra Fresh Royal Guppy Mignon Pellet 4.6 oz
This fry food is great for newly hatched and newborn fish. I also feed it to my moina colony and they are thriving on it. The food is a very fine powder and easy for the tiniest of fry to eat while they are too small for live food.
Sera Micron Nature 50ml Fry Food with Krill
I originally bought this because it was on sale. I, of course, can't pass up a sale. I now feed this because my corydoras, plecos, otocinclus, and one betta go nuts over it. It sinks fast for the bottom feeders and is eaten very quickly. It can be a ...
Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food
I have neocardina shrimp. They love this food. One tiny pellet feeds six adult shrimp for a day. I put extra in because the guppies inevitably find it and will wolf it down.
Ultra Fresh Shrimp Food, All Natural, 2.04oz
I feed live food to my fry and as a treat to the adult fish. Moina is extremely easy to get started and will feed fry amazingly. It's rich in protein and helps them grow faster and, in my opinion, they get color faster, as well.
Moina Macrocopa Eggs Live Fish Food for Betta
Another food I keep on hand for fry. These take a little more work to hatch. You need a hatchery, aquarium salt, and patience. They hatch starting about 12 hours after placing them in water. They are one of the best foods for fry and, to me, worth th...
90% Hatch GSL Brine Shrimp Eggs 9 OZ
I just got this in today for my bottom feeders. It was a hit with everyone in the tank including my crazy Bettas and my neocardina shrimp!
PhytoDisc Plus Spirulina Sinking Wafers 8oz
Cleaning and Maintenance
This is really invaluable to have on hand. It's an early warning system, for me. I test my tanks (I have 7) every week just to make sure everything is still going well and I also test the water any time I see it getting cloudy or if my fish seem to b...
API Freshwater Aquarium Master Test Kit, 800 count - Chewy.com
These are a must have for anything and everything! These are great for getting small amounts of water for test kits, putting medication drops in your tanks, and an almost infinite list of other things. I used these at my former work in veterinary med...
UAEBM 100-Pack Disposable 3ml Plastic Pipettes with Clear Graduations for Precise Liquid Measurement - Ideal for Lab Use, Modeling, and Art Applications A
I love these filters! There's no motor and it's powered solely by an air pump. They are so easy to take care of and no special, separate filters required. Super affordable.

Don't waste your money on a "siphon" to clean up small areas in your tanks. Turkey basters are the exact same thing and so much less expensive! They're great for cleaning leftover bits of food and for getting into harder to reach spots to get poo and...

Tank Additives
This might seem out of place for a fish category. It's not, though! This tea is great to add tannins to your water for all the fish and invertebrates you have. I use this in my shrimp tank and they seem to thrive even better than they did before!

Very similar to Betta Fix. The best part is this is a big bottle and will last quite a bit longer than the Betta Fix.
