If its 5 inches wide and 12 inches high then it should hold about 2 gallons and thats not too small for a betta. I wouldn't put a betta in less than 1 gallon though. This is the tank I have: Click here!

Most people don't cycle tanks under 5 gallons. Since I have 2 and 1 gallon betta tanks I don't cycle them, I just do frequent water changes to keep the water params stable. I don't do 100% water changes on my 10 but I will do a full cleaning (take fish out, drain water,and vaccuum VERY...

*bump* Tough crowd B)

I also have a Lab/Pitt mix that I rescued from being frozen or starved to death a couple winters ago and he is the best friend I've ever had besides my hubby. His name is Bubba (my dog, not my husband lol)

IMO 5 gallons for 5 females is too small. Girls can be territorial and you should have as much space for them as possible so they can give eachother some space. The two gallon tank for the male is fine (I have a 2 gal also) but in order to keep them ammonia down I do 30-50% water change every 3...

Yeah he's definitely a HM, I love his colors!!!!!!!!!! Is he up for sale or is he a keeper?

No, I don't have Glo-fish, just regular zebra danios. However their dad is quite pink... I will get pictures soon hopefully, I have to develop them since my digi cam seems to not want to take clear close ups of the kids. Maybe for Christmas I'll get a good camera :shifty: And thank you for the...

Poor guy! Those girls can be vicious too. My suggestion to prevent infection and help healing would be to add aquarium salt to a hospital tank for him. You have to take him out of the bag and isolate him in a tank to give him the best chance at recovery. I would say half a rounded teaspoon per...

Now one thing that wasn't mentioned is that how well a male betta gets along with other companions (never another male and rarely a female) also depends on the size of the tank. I don't suggest putting any companions with a male betta in anything less than 5 gallons, not even a large snail. I...

Beautiful tanks and specimens!!! I love it! How do you keep the male bettas from beating on eachother? Are they juveniles?

It looks a tiger barb with less defined stripes. Assuming you mean the guys on the left. So some kind of barb.

I hope this helps you, I speak from personal experience only: Here's what you do to spawn Zebra Danios: 1. Move prospective female to a separate breeding tank (6-10 gallon will be fine for now) with spawning mops. You'll need to use acrylic yarn and you'll need 10-20 spawning mops. This is a...

*EDITED TO REMOVE DOUBLE POST* Sorry!

I thought I should mention that full grown Bala Sharks do best in a group of six. This means that at 12 inches a pop and VERY fast, they do best in tank with a lot of swimming room. Some experts suggest a tank 8, even 10 feet long for just the group of six. I wanted to let you know because I've...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! You'll see me around a lot since I don't have a job and am always online ;)

The same thing happened to my kitten one day, I was sooo scared he was gonna die but my hubby's mom came over, she's studying to be a nurse, and she used a ton of vaseline and gently pushed it back. It worked and the kitten is all grown up now and has no problems. To answer your question...

Here is a pic of my Bubba wearing his hoodie on our way to PA: This is Bubba and his daddy: This is my foster kitten Houdini, who I bottle fed since he was a day old: This is Houdini at 8 weeks: I eventually gave Houdini to my best friend because he decided he didn't like me anymore. He...

If the 10 gallon is near to the current tank, try using two nets, one to herd him in to the other and then just lift him out into the next tank. Provided the water temp and parameters are similar enough to not shock him. Otherwise I would herd him into another container with his own old aquarium...

Here you go! Megamouth is on the right and the new guy is on the left:

Hi fellow bettta lovers! I have two male bettas, my older male is Megamouth and my new boy is much smaller but has no name yet. Any ideas? I'll post pics soon.

Hi I'm Gina! I am new to these forums but not to fishkeeping. I have two ten gallon tanks, one is cycled but empty and the other has my two remaining tiger barbs, 5 zebra danios (4 females, 1 male), and an otocinclus. I also have a 7 gallon breeding tank with about 50-100 month old zebra danios...
