ive also heard you could feed egg yoke, hard boiled. but it will be messy and wont help that much, feeding the fry on crushed flakes and baby brine shrimp will be good enough. cucumber i dont know about, could be too tough for the fry to eat, maybe they will peck at the middle bit

cheers for the reply, just to add, my water quality is fine, and my PH is at a netural 7. im almost certain i have 2 males,

my bettas do that sometimes, they want to be left alone and your just sticking your hand in the tank, how rude they think :lol: my kissing gouramie my dad use to have often kissed peoples hands, or that sort of thing, he might have been trying to bite us, but it wasnt painfull or anything, just...

i have 2 males with a trio of platies, 3 ottos and a few shrimp the guy at the fish store said they will ram heads sometimes, hence the name rams, and its nothing to worry about after a few days since i brought them home, one male, the biggest one, but only slightly, is swimming with the platies...

buy some algea wafers, or shrimp pellets

it shocked me that the shop assistance new what the kids were doing, but didnt try to do anything about it. people shoudl treat fish with lots more respect. bloody kids, shouldnt be allowed in pet shops if they cant behave. hope the 2 bettas lost will RIP and have a better after life than...

my lfs will buy any young fish going, quite a good price too, ive sold them platies, guppies, and the odd other fish too.

feed pellets to the betta and flakes to the others, drop pellets at one side of the tank, and flakes at the other.tetra prima can be fed to both.if the betta eats flakes, which i doubt he will, both can eat that. bloodworms are good for both, but should be fed as a trat, not everyday.

rasboras might be fine in a PFK, how big is the tank? a betta should be fine if the tanks cycled and all. maybe you just had bad luck with your first one? ottos, ADF's and maybe shrimps will live well with a betta and cories.plenty of plants will help. shame about your hood, hope everything gets...

or sell a few to the fish shop, the fry will will get bigger then you can sell them, the male can go too, as the females store sperm and he isnt "needed" now.the chinese algea eater must go too.

firstly get one for each tank, some bettas will eat shrimps and some will not, if the shrimps are still there in say 3 weeks or so, buy more. ghost shrimps and amano shrimps are the most common. shrimps eat algea, leftovers, usally flakes, but if your feeding betta pellets, i sugggest buying...

easy to keep, add to water and leave, rolling sometimes to keep the perfect round shape, if brken, either keep rolling to make 2 smaller moss balls, or lay the broken side down and it will turn into a moss carpet.

the only options for a 5gallon tank is shrimps, ADF's, ottos, pygmy cories or snails. it needs to be heated and filtered.

calm down guys, i know not all happy bettas blow bubbles, but i was trying to explain to spankone that its nothing to worry about and blowing bubbles is normal for male bettas to do.

to me these look like platies? sorry if im wrong, but i just thought i'll add. the COs next to the filter output is good, not sure about the airstone. all fidh you have look great, dont see any problems with neons and a betta, had together in past with no problems, but have heard different.

the hanging bowl idea is really crap, its a silly shape, wey too small for any fish, too small to heater, no filtretion, huge opening at the top for fish to jump right on out. plus, if it isnt attached to the wall properly, it will eventually break and come crashing down on the floor, probally...

personally i would only put 5 in, not as many as spooky said, and i know hes a good cory expert, but i like to give the fish planty of room to swim and enjoy the tank. are anyother fish going in there aswell, if your werent expecting that many cories to beable to put in your tank, then lowering...

It is a small aquarium complete with light hood, gravel, plants (artificial), base, etc. made out of acrylic. It's not just a bowl. The problem with moving to anything bigger is finding a tank that will fit in a VERY limited space on her dresser/desk. Water changes are done very frequently...

either leave out the betta, or devide a 3-5 gallon part for him if you really want one. i personally think 6 platies are too many, even for the whole undivided tank, they will soon breed and produce plenty of fry. i would go with a trio of platies,1male and 2 females.hatchets are that hard to...

its a double edge sword decision, what ever you do wont be right or wrong buying the fish, makes sure it has the best life it can with you, knowing you will give it the best of care, and will be the best home it can have, atleast it wont be kept in crappy conditions on the other hand, leave it...

a happy betta blows bubbles :good:

many people would say room temp. is ok for bettas, personally i would say NO :no: they are tropical fish and need warmer waters. there are heaters out there for 2.5 gallons, i think you should get one.like i said before, please consider getting another 2.5 gallon for the poor betta in the...

looks ace, really liking the betta :drool: the tank is fantastic well done :good:

all bettas looking good :good: i even like the snail :hyper:

i would try it, like you said, if it doesnt work out, always the 30litre for the betta, i only see the mollies as the problem, but who knows, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

personally i thought if a whole cube is dropped in at once, the fish go on a feeding frenzy and gourge themselves on the bloodworms, resulting in very bloated fish, i prefer to defrose mine, then feed a few though out the day.with your tank, Tetra Fresh Delica bloodworms are probally the best...

lovely bettas, to change the water, either do them all on one day, like i do,every sunday, spend a while water changing all my tanks, or do each one on different days, what i mean is, either spead a lot of time getting them all done, then there done, or do each one, spending a small amount of...

bettas have to be my favourite, closely followed by discus, the angels, then rams, then all the other fish.

1 gallons are very hard to heat. the temperature often go up and down and the betta becomed stressed. a 5gallon isnt that big, or even a 3gallon.it can be make to look real nice and your betta will be happy with more swimming space, plus its easier to heat. what about the water changes in the 1...

feeding is the main problem, try feeding frozen or live bloodworms after lights out, most fish will be slow or sleeping, but the frogs are noctural and will eat them, or most of them.other options are having a cave of some sort thats a little small for the fish, but the frogs can rach, and...

i have cories and kuhliis to stir the sand, but being me i still stir the sand every month or so, i use a chopstick, push it in the sand, then drag slowely side to side, moving all the sand.i also have live plants so the roots help. stiring it up to much might cause problems with the filter

has anyone had any experienc or stories to tell about this product, i have planty of plants comming for my tank and was thinking of buying some plantfood, this is the best looking one at my fish shop, but wanted to see how effective it was for other people. anyother products that work well, i...

instead of asking for one, buy your partner/parent one and say, dont worry, its your tank, but i'll do all the work, stocking, decoration,etc that way, you have another tank, but they think its for them lol, a bit sneaky i know, but hey,

are you sure its fungus? are you dosing the correct amount, what else is in the tank? i would suggest compleating a heavy water change then start againg with the treatment, making sure everything is correct.

finely crushed flakes will do, like helterskelter said, baby brineshrimp will be good for them, when bigger, feed small bloodworms

if its heated and filtered, then 1 would do. with 2 aggression might occur. plenty of plants and rock.maybe a few shrimps?

im sorry but i think thats really sick and twisted, who wants to find a squashed betta on the street, the least you could do is clear up the mess.and the pellet guns a little vomiting too, who has the heart to fire a pellet into the bettas head, plus all the blood. :sick: dunking in freezing...

try dropping 2 peas in, one either side of tank so the ram can have one, and the guppies the other.

looks good, whats it going to be stocked with? i like it as a shrimp tank personally,

personally i would remove it and have a picture sheet stuck on the back as a background, then cover your equipment with plants and decor.but thats me, you might want to keep the background in the tank, depends on what fish your after.it looks good, i admit that, but personally, i think it takes...
