Would it be ok to put 2 snails into a 5G divided tank one on each side? What kind of snails are best? and do snails eat algae? because my tank has an algae problem because the light always gets left on and I turn it off and then other people turn it back on or is there a small algae eater fish...

Is there a little white sac on it. I noticed my females had it and my males did not.

looks white, purple and blue to me so I would say a mix.

My Betta when I got him was totally white and now he has some very faint blue in his tail and red sploches over him. So sometimes they change color when they become unstressed.

What would be some compatible fish to put with a male betta in a 10 G tank?

he passed away sometime in the night. I fed him betta pellets, Top Fin Betta Bits and sometimes frozen brine shrimp as a treat. Two of my bettas get a mixture of the top fin betta pellets with another kind of pellet that I bought my accident it seems to have a variety of things in it. I tried...

I don't have any aquarium salt. I have Betta Fix, Melafix and Primafix and I put some primafix into his water earlier today but didn't do a water change. Should I move him to a smaller tank. At the moment he is in a 2.5G tank and I could move him into a .5G kritter kreeper hagen bowl thingy.

My betta is floating on his side, well actually he's wedged himself up on the heater and is half in the water half out now. Earlier today he was swimming upside down trying to get right side up. He has a very swollen belly. Anything to do for him to try and make him better or do I just wait for...

Betta Pellets, frozen brine shrimp as a treat. I think he's a goner just thought I'd try, especially if he's trying to wedge himself into things, all the fish I've seen doing that in the past have died. Is there anything to do if your fish has swim bladder?

not eating and I increased airation . floating on side with help by wedging himself with the heater.

So yes my betta who was fine 2 hours ago is now floating upside down at the top of the tank and struggling to get right side up again. He's in a 2.5G tank with a heater. I've put in some Antifungal, anti internal bacteria stuff. The only other meds I have are betta fix and anti ulcer and open...

So in my 25 G tank at the moment I have a pleco, 1 gold gourami, 1 blue gourami, 1 blue paradise gourami and 1 opaline gourami. Do you think it would be ok to put in 2 or 3 dwarf gouramies?

I told my parents too bad, that either they let me buy another 10 G for 3 bettas or they let me have all my tanks and they won't let me buy anymore tanks but I do get to keep the ones I already have. I just have to eventually get rid of the 1 and 2 g tanks and most likely the 2.5, but that won't...

I have 2 bettas in a 5g divided, 1 in a 2.5 G, 1 in a 2 G and one in a 1G and then I have a 10G tetra tank and a 25G semi-aggressive tank. Well my parents are hounding on me to get rid of tanks so I figured I would at least look into trying to downsize without getting rid of any fish. So what...

I went to Pets Mart and bought dividers that have clips that go over the rim of the tank to hold the divider in place and those have worked for me without any of my bettas squirming into the other side. I pile extra rocks at the bottom on both sides to help keep that area solid and I also put...

I have my 5G divided once for 2 bettas down in my kitchen and then I have my 10 G tank divided twice for 3 bettas 2 males on the ends and a female in the middle, I had it originally divided 3 times but 2 of the 4 bettas died within the 1st month I think they must have been stressed, one bit his...

Same thing happened with me. I had a divided 10 gallon 4 compartments and then 1 fish decided he was stressed and started biting his tail so I removed him into his previous home and treated him with Betta fix and he seemed to be doing well. Then later that week I came upstairs into my room to...

Yay a happy ending to my story, the phone is now working. My mom took the battery out and then put all the pieces in front of the gas fireplace for a while and that seemed to dry it out nicely and now I know not to carry electronics with me when doing a water change. Now hopefully that TV...

Funny story that has taught me a valuable lesson. I changed everything fine and all the fish are fine; however my tank is upstairs and I needed to take down a big bucket of icky water to dump outside because my parents frown upon having it dumped in the bathroom plus I can then help fertilize...

Well I've taken out the remaining 2 and they are in 1 G bowls. These guys seem fine aren't acting weird, don't look like they have any fin rot or cuts, their eyes aren't popping, they are eating, not bloated. I'm thinking she must have had an injury... knock on wood so hopefuly the others will...

thanks for that link

So as I was saying in another thread, my female betta died suddenly and had the popping eyes, now she shared water with 2 other bettas. Are there any other signs for popeye? or just the popping eye? I didn't notice it in her until she was dead. Also what meds are good for popeye? all I have at...

Tank size 5g, temp about 22 C, 1 normal, other hiding. Not sure on the PH. Emptying tank at the moment into a bucket that I don't use so that I don't infect my fish cleaning stuff and moving the two into their own 1 G bowls. I now have 3 sick bettas to look after. 1 had a bad encounter with a...

I just got home from a movie, before I left I swear she was alive and I also hadn't noticed any problems with her. I came home and was going to feed her and then saw that she was floating on top. She shares a tank with two other bettas who seem fine but I'm going to move them out of that tank...

You might want to find something other than the potting pots, block the tiny hole in it or somehow manage to make it bigger. My Betta decided one day to try and swim through the hole and got himself stuck in it and I had to twist him out and he later died of his injuries.

Angel fish, plecos, gouramies (4 Inch semi-aggressive)? Just wondering if the Black red tailed shark would go well with these fish.

I've never seen the candle ones yet and I hope I never will. I've only seen the ones with a plant in the top which my mother likes, she gets the plant I get the fish, maybe I don't love weddings that much anymore unless they allow me to take home every center piece.

Another wedding and another Betta fish. Well I didn't go to this wedding but a friend of the familys did. The last wedding that we went to I got the Betta fish center piece from my table and then the family friend got the betta fish from her table and gave it to me, well she won another betta...

My experience for males with females is all luck on the fish that you get. I've had 1 male and 2 females in a tank together before and they got along peachily; but then my friends who bought them at the same time didn't have as much luck. One friend only has the male left as he chased the...

possibly if you used the same water changing devices to clean their tanks.

I have a white betta and I just got home from vacation all my fish are still alive and the only problem seems to be with my white betta, he has red around the end of his tail, it looks like pellets that have not disolved. Is this some kind of parasite? or is he biting his tail?

I feed them twice a day and so hopefully my brother will remember to feed them at least once a day. I think I'll do the baggy thing for my brother with the betta pellets.

So I sat and thought and thought and thought about the white betta last night and then today, so after work I ran to the pet store and bought him. My dad just finished yelling at me for the one guy and I don't know if he knows about the two from yesterday so I've decided not to mention that...

So as I put in another thread I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks. I'm leaving on Sunday 17th. So before I leave I'm going to do water changes and I was planning on using the vacation tabs but am now changing my mind after being told they will cloud the water, bloat/kill the fish. I had bought...

Thanks for fixing my pics. I got my guys at the Pet Cetera in West Edmonton mall. I tend to always go there and use my buy one fish get one fish free card and then have to buy more tanks/bowls to fit them in.

But hopefully they will be better than leaving them with my brother for 2 weeks with no food at all, unless I phone him every day but that would get expensive. I know my 25 G tank should be fine because I can throw zuccini and letuce and stuff in their before I leave and then force my brother to...

I've seen a male in with a lot of females at the local Pet's mart but they were in at least a 20-30 G tank. They seemed to get along nicely and so I bought 2 females. And then they were sold out of females within 2-3 days, very popular fish and I haven't seen any female bettas there since and I...

I'm going away for 2 weeks and I'm leaving my bettas and other fish in the care of my older brother, who I am usually left at home to baby sit because my parents fear that he may leave the oven on and burn down the house, kill my mothers plants, leave the doors all unlocked and the garage door...

It's a small tank, she bought it for her son at the petstore "buy this tank and get a gold fish free" deal. I think it is about 2.5 G and he's the only fish in there and it has some kind of side filter not sure what kind because it's nothing like any of mine. I've given all the advice that...

Ok hopefully these pics work, and I even took computer programing classes, ah yes I didn't really do anything in that class. Anakin (not one of the new guys but I thought this was a nice pic) [/IMG] New guy, at first I thought he was creepy but then I kept looking at him and then I really wanted...
