I actually have one of those, and they are pretty small, probably about 1/4th gallon. I had a baby female in mine for a while til she got bigger then added her to my 10 gallon..so I think it would be fine to put a really small baby female in there. just make sure you do every other day water...

I didnt know exactly where to put this post, its not an emergency but I would like to get rid of it ASAP. I was cleaning my 10 gal community tank a few days ago and took the filter pad out to rinse some of the residue out to find hundreds of tiny dead black worms all over it! they are the size...

thanks for all the compliments on him :) He's adjusted well and has been eating pigishly so I know he is healthy. anymore name suggestions? :)

hey guys, its been a while since I have posted here, I havent gotten any new bettas for about 4 months so I didnt have anything exciting to share until now :) Today I went to the dreaded Petco (I usually buy my bettas at a small LFS) to pick up some stuff for my bird and saw they had a bunch of...

I own a Quaker parrot, he is my joy..but its not true that they are quiet birds to say the least..lol. he is very loud especially when he gets mad and throws a tantrum..but they are absolutley wonderful birds in every other way. Yes they are talkers and have one of the most extensive vocabulary...

I would love to have a galah now that I see how beautiful they are, never knew they existed until now. I have a question for you though, do they poop all over your room when you let them out, or are they "potty trained"? even though my quaker Angel is kinda potty trained and will poop on command...

aw she is very adorable, I love the pink colors. Isnt it strange that rare birds to some are pests in other countries? I have a Quaker Parrot which is illegal in many states in the US..and are considered horrible pests in Argentina, but they are legal here and I love mine to death :D

pretty colors :) cambodian means that his fins are darker and a different color than his body (the body usually is pink or light colored) hope you get him to eat soon, maybe try a pea or some unseasoned chicken liver bits.

some bettas are especially more picky then others, depending on what they were fed growing up or there health status. try giving him live foods, if you cant get your hands on any of that soon then cook him a small peice of fresh unseasoned chicken or chicken liver and give him a small bit, he...

I have a female community in a 10 gallon tank, its not planted very much though and they tend to constantly stick by eachother in one spot in the tank, for this reason I wish I got a slightly smaller tank because they hardly swim in more than 5 gallons that is in there. 10 gallons would be...

well I dont like that site you posted at all after I read this in there care and maintenance page for bettas: "Bettas can be safely kept in these small bowls and containers for many reasons. They have a relatively slow metabolism and are not very active. They are typically slow swimmers and do...

what are you talking about teeth? bettas dont have teeth, you said your afraid it will kill the platies cause of its teeth, but what is "it"?

Italian Greyhounds all the way, we got ours 8 years ago and would never get another breed of little dog after this one..they are perfect for people with allergies and are great with kids because they are greyhounds and like to play and run. Not only do they not shed (well maybe a hair or 2 here...

you have the most gorgeous betta tanks, and I envy your setup! how do you get sand that color in the bottom tank, did you buy it that way or did you mix black with white? its so pretty :wub:

well the way I used to do it was take a little tank water into a cup and drop some bloodworms in there (frozen ones work best as they will sink, freeze dried will usually float back to the top) you can add some fish flakes in with it as well and then suck up all the liquid in the cup, whille...
