Im sorry about your fishie. :sad:

Sometimes a fish doesn't have anything. This fish is missing a good portion of it's tail, and you're saying it has a parasite or bacterial infection based on what? Maybe he/she (the fish) has fin rot, or maybe another fish just got plain ol' pissed off. But you can't go dumping meds into a...

There isn't any reason to suspect velvet. I would need more information to diagnose the fish, as adding meds that aren't needed can stress fish. Maybe it's just me Wilder, but everytime I see your name, you're diagnosing a fish with little information.

Yeah, make a cover. With an air hole, that is. I see way too many bettas at the LFS who suffocated(sp?) because a cup was stacked on top. :sad:

Haven't set up the tank yet. Thanks for the help. I can't get pictures of the yellow things; they're real light yellow against the white coral, and my webcam just blows.

So I grew these plant bulbs, but the package doesn't give me any helpful information on what they are. It's not a I-need-to-know-this situation but am just curious is all.

Lady Peaches

As I was going through the seashell jar looking for smooth shells for my betta to sleep on, I found a piece of coral about 2"x5", and thought Wow, I can use this for my future guppie tank! I know shells raise the pH of the water because of calcium, but what about coral? And also, is there...

I picked up a betta that was missing his entire back fin - the entire back fin; however, he died during the night. Housed with goldfish, I believe.

The pitbull plec grows to 2-2.5", so I'm thinking pitbull plec, but I read somewhere that they like to burrow in sand. Is sand okay for guppies? I know they're not as hardy as platys, and sand can make something like nitrate skyrocket. Probably not nitrate, but it was something.

That's how I am. And lazyiness plays a part of course.

There's a 10 gal. at Wal-Mart for 9-something, which is rather cheap, so I think I'll purchase that and fill it with males guppies not from Wal-Mart. Does six sound about right? I'm told 6, but people have different opinions, so I wanted to get a few. Like in the UK, someone mentioned how it...

I checked the links, and they just said to condition them and keep the water clean, but that sounds way to easy.

I put her tank next to the males and am feeding her a few extra bloodworms a day. Is there anything else I can do? And if she's a peach color, will she show breeding bars? I've never seen a peach with bars.

That would be pretty cool to have a fish with your business logo in your place of work though. I would need ample proof it doesn't harm the fish in any way or further down the road, but I doubt that's unlikely since ya know. . . you're tattooing a fish.

Thankies! Can you believe I picked this beauty up from Petco?! :hey:

So half of the offspring would be VT and the other half would be CT? Or they would all be half VT half CT? :unsure: Actually, he's blueish-purpleish with some barely noticeable white tips. The webcam just blows. When I took pictures of my turtle, it was quite clear since turtles don't...

Nope. But the words that shouldn't be capitalized bother me a bit for some reason. But hey, I point out grammar mistakes on video games. :alien: *is a dork*

Oh, total coolness! :hyper:

The jar said crowntail, but combtail is A-OK with me too. A-OK. :D

"Thankies!" says Princess.

I think I'll breed him with my veiltail. What would the babies be? 75% VT and 25% CT? The two. New CT. Yeah, I know, the pictures are pretty low quality. All I have is a web cam.

Since you're new to bettas, I wouldn't start a soreity tank; and I don't know how big 45 liters is, but you need at least a 10 gal. I would go with: - either a female or male betta - snail or 2 ghost shrimp (Bettas have been known to eat them)

Nope, she's a she. Has the ova. . . white spot.

Mine keeps trying to catch the platys' falling flakes, of course, to no avil. I think I should move her before she wears herself out.

This is my girl, Princess. I know she's a veiltail, but don't know about the color. She's peach with maroon fins with a hint of blue around the base of her. . . butt. . . fin and a blue stripe on her. . . under fin. (Yeah, I don't know the names for these particular fins.) The pictures are a...
