    Betta Tattoo

    Small Tanks

    that would be a tricky one, but here in UK, bettas arent kept in cups, usally in tanks with other fish (usally the wrong fish, fish nippers etc) of course i wouldnt risk the bettas health for a bigger tank, but i would probally use my old 3 gallon shrimp tank and add the betta to that, keep him...

    Can Too Much Dechlorinator Kill Fish?

    i got bored of measuring too, just squirt a bit in, after so long, you can judge the amount thats right, i dont think slightly underdosing or overdosing effects the fish, with python that adds water to the tank, the fish must be in tap water for a bit before water treatment is added anyway. if...

    Small Tanks

    the lowest i will go for any betta is 5 gallons, they are either alone in their tanks, or with ottos and snails or shrimp, any which i can move to other tanks, so my bettas can be treated with meds in the tank. so i dont need to have a temporary housing for my bettas. i hate to see bettas in...

    Oooo Guppy Companions Oooo

    clown loaches in a 45 gallon, i dont think so. tetras will live happily with guppies, so will other livebearers. cories are fine, and hatchets, rasboras, kuhliis, and pieceful community fish.maybe it would be easier to let us know what you want to put in, and we can say if its good or not.

    Suggestions For 5 Gallon Hex

    dont post unhelpful links please james, dwarf puffers and leaf fish are both unsuitable to live in a 5gallon tank with frogs. i think what i meant was try your betta out, but as he flares alot it might not be a good idea. go buy another male then, try to look for one thats with other fish, that...

    Is This Normal?

    how many cories do you have? CAE are bad fish for communties, usally only good on their own, swap for something else at fish store.

    Some Plants I Found...

    bleach in weak soultion, then quartine for a few weeks, doing another bleach dip every week, then give them a full check over, and they should be fine, make sure no wildlife are on they before removing from stream.

    Females With Snails/shrimp?

    snails will probally be fine, depending on betta itself. the shrimp may be harrassed, or left alone, the cherries are most vunerable, being smallest, maybe eaten.

    Fry Tank

    i dont think brine shrimp are sea monkeys, might be the baby version. you might be able to feed the brine shrimp from day one, but they could be bigger then the frys mouth, and they might not ba able to catch them. feeding crushed flakes is a sure way they are getting anout food, it doesnt move...

    Suggestions For 5 Gallon Hex

    bettas are the best option to go with ADF's. (frogs) but you could try some smaller fish:http://www.franksaquarium.com/nanofish.htm, again most if not all are hard to get a hold of, and some might no be suited to live with frogs, research them first. maybe a sparkling gouramies. or ever bumblee...

    Up & Running!

    not a bad tank. may i suggest getting some more plants, maybe real ones. im a fan of well planted tanks, and it may reduce the bettas aggression with the other fish (if they is any) what other fish are you planning on adding?

    A Pic Of My Suckerfish His Name Is Slippery

    just a word of warning, they grow big and get aggressive. they will attack fish and stop eating algea when older. they are a bad choice for small tanks and should be returned to the fish shop. try some ottos for algea eaters. (research them first)

    Help With A Problem Platy...

    im not sure, but i used to have a trio of platies (2F,1M) and when i removed the male, one female was chasing and acting aggressive towards the other female. they both swim fine and eat well. they have plenty of room and lots of plants. i was thinking of buying a few more females too, but wasnt...

    Fry Tank

    i use one of those medium storage tubs,about 2 gallon. with a heater and sponge filter. it has no substrate, but some floating plants, a few fake plants and an extra cave i had. i give it weekly water changes (more depending on amount of fry it has in) it stays at 25oC. i feed crushed flakes...

    Otto's And Algae

    i sometimes get a bit, either use the cretid card way, or sometimes my common snails can be seen eating it i think. ottos only really eat brown algea. the greenish algea is usally cause by over lighting.

    7 Giant African Land Snails

    i bought 2 of them a while ago off ebay. they looked intresting. placed in an used fish tank and aretill alive. i am surprised. i feed them veg and cuttle bone. they are massive now. little annoyed they are taking up one of my fish tanks, but they're not that bad. leave slime trails everywhere...

    Apparently Im Not Meant To Have Hasbrosus :(

    maybe these are the 2 your meant to have then. i hope they survive. get your water tested, i dont often get it checked, only when a fish dies or im having problems which hasnt happened often.if everything is fine after 6 months, i get it checked anyway to be safe.

    Shrimp Help!

    looks like a ghost shrimp. common in fish stores. will live of leftovers, and maybe drop a bottom feeder wafer or pellet in now and again. will graze on algea, but cant live of it. wont be bothered by guppies or mollies. plec should leave alone too.

    Best Type Of Snail

    like everyone says, it depends on the situation. maylsian trumpet snails are good for stiring up the sand and helping stop gas pockets forming, also east left overs and dying leaves. they reproduce quickley and hard shells make bad food choice for snail eaters. ramshorn snails are good as the...

    What Species?

    its the species that matter, not the color. as mommyof2bettas said, as they are both platies, they will usally hang near each other, the colors dont matter,

    5 Gallon

    guppies need bigger tanks than 5g IMO. atleast 10. i dont agree with keeping bettas in 1g jars, but thats a different topic. as much as there is many fish that can live happily in a 5g tank, i myself would suggest a shrimp tank as the top option too. they are lots of species of shrimps to chose...

    5 Gallon

    i wouldnt devide a 5g, that only leaves 2.5 gallons for each betta, too small IMO. a full 5 gallon with just 1 betta, a group of dwarf cories, ottos and maybe some shrimp would look nice.

    Dwarf Puffers

    nto sure what happened. snails still need to be fed, water changed and looked after. i keep mine in a 1 gallon, with lots of plant cuttings (what i would usally bin) and feed algea wafers ever 2 days, removing the leftovers. and ive them 50% water change every week. seems a lot, but i want my...
