FWIW, I have PM'd 'rrrr' and will not hesitate to bring it to the attention of the forum Moderators regarding their contributions if need be. However, I would ask in the mean time that no-one pays any attention to the flammable posts left by questionable members of this forum, and carry on as if...

Right. I will say this once and once only to you 'rrrr'. It has been noticed by myself and others that your comments appear mid-way throughout threads that detract from the current discussion, and for the most part seem to be inflammatory and they get some kind of reaction from others. Whilst I...

My point proven entirely. MODERATORS!!!!!!

Umm, yours don't do what Love4? Hunt or your pics don't show?

Yaaaaa Haaaa Haaaaa Hoooooo! I got something right!!!!!! lol (Ego so big now it don't fit in this forum.....lol)

Are you talking about male and female Dwarf Gouramis? Any chance of pics for the real gourami experts? FWIW I have 2 Dwarf Gouramis, a pair of Royals that were sold as a pair, the male is deep blue with red barring and the female is very silvery/gold. They don't fight, but may be irrelevant.

Well, to get back on topic, the first name that came in to my mind was 'Shadow', dunno where it came from but sounds kinda mysterious and masculine at the same time....lol

PLEASE squiremaster, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to sound criticising. I just hate the idea od a betta going hungry and eating something he'd rather not. Of course you did what you had to, and I am so glad your betta made it enough to give you a warm greeting (Prob more of "feed me, feed...

Ants love warmer climates...lol Umm, forgive me Squiremaster, but an algae wafer for food? Most fish will peck on an algae wafer as a snack, or as last resort, but in the short time I have kept bettas, none (I've had 5) have ever looked at algae wafers. I know it was a last minute thing, but...

That wasn't my point, though I am SOOOOO glad he is in the care of someone such as yourself. I meant that I want one that is PK tailed, and so darned pretty! lol And if it means saving an ex-fought fish to give him a good home, I would more than gladly do it!! Fair play to you, I'd say.

Oh please David_Warehouse, as if it isn't hard to find you using Google.....lol (I admire your honesty though). But seriously, I would be in absolute heaven if I could posess such a tank. But it is true, fish keeping does seem a narcotic hobby, you always want more/bigger/better...lol As to the...

Post removed by me for being inappropriate, sorry.

Whatever you call him, I want one!!!! I think I might have room for another tank (looking round the room for 2sqft of room 'wasted'...lol) :shifty:

Post removed as was inappropriate. Sorry

Yes, they do exist. I am sure that they have better things to do with their time, but sadly they resort to things like this. Now if everyone concerned wouldn't mind, please can we get on topic and sort out Love4's query? Ta. EDIT:_Which, sadly, I am unable to do cos I don't have enough...

Umm, reluctantly seconded, as I didn't want to point fingers, but they did say something on another thread (namely the topic on Disgusting tank 'bowls' sorted out rightfully by Bronzecat) that was also very flammable. You'll find it amongst the top few articles in the betta section.

Ummm, I don't know what made you think it was aimed at you Love4Aquatic, but I can assure you, it was most definitely NOT aimed at you, sorry for any offence you have taken.

I would love to respond to that much more fully, but in order to lead by example (not claiming I'm any leader, just proving my point about TFF members being able to restrain themselves and give constructive criticism) and to protect my eligibilty to leave posts on this very good forum, I shall...

Sorry, can't resist, £2 + £1.55 = £3.55, doesn't it? lol But yes, still a steal....lol

Is it me or is there a bridge nearby that has a resident beneath it?

Umm, are we talking about ZEBRA danios here, because so far all that has been said matches my PEARL danios. I don't mean to sound totally dumb, but none of my Zebras have any colouring on their anal fins at all, except the normal continuation of their 'zebra' markings. I would love to know the...

Furthermore, tbh, if the betta did kill the shrimp, he would surely have been 'disposing of the evidence'. If you found a good quality corpse, that is, one not eaten away or nibbled on, then in all likeliness your betta is going to be fine with any shrimp, as he would surely have seen the dead...

True, but they do act normal when they do move, they forage for food like the older one does. The shop looked a picture of perfect fish health and perfect keeping conditions,no dead fish in any of the tanks (bar one we did spot, probably because the staff hadn't been past very recently)...

That sounds to me then that they didn't handle the water temperature for sure. I'd suggest getting some amano shrimp, 3 or 4, and keeping them in their own small tank until they have molted a few times (to get bigger) and then add them to the betta tank. If you don't have space for another tank...

Unfortunately yes, two in particular look painfully thin, but then they did when we got them (at the same time as the sick Fancy Guppies that started all this off), and one in particular is also deformed in appearance, ie looks too long and has a curved spine. I think we bought 'bad' fish, but...

A quick helpful hint: to make the photos show in your post, use the image link under your pics on the photobucket page. It starts with something like [IMG and is found in the tab below the pic itself. HTH

By way of aeration, I have turned the Juwel's filter outlet upwards to cause major surface movement, almost like a fountain effect. We have what sounds like a permanent tap leak now in our living room....lol Well, all things considered, I think I can be quite optimistic right now. All the...

Umm, are you sure they were 'river shrimp'? From what I can gather, river shrimp are purely coldwater shrimp and will die in tropical temperatures the betta requires. Could it be at all possible that the shrimp died of being overheated and then the betta ate their corpses as a tasty snack? Of...

One thing that I am confused about though is how this thread was allowed to continue. I don't mean to go off topic here but just hear me out for a second. Modaz started off a thread earlier on today about something similar, called "Who's Gunna To Be The First To Tell This Breeder Off". It was...

This is a copy of the exact message I sent on eBay. I couldn't say all I wanted (which would have been damned near an essay) as the eBay messaging system only allows 1000 character messages:- Dear cybrowny, Hello, I am no expert on bettas but I do know something. Those fry are far too young to...

Well, I'm no expert but they are far too young to be going anywhere yet. By my odds they are what, 5 weeks at the most? They have another 8 weeks yet before they can be considered fit for sale? I am so tempted to contact the seller on this point. I also doubt very much that anyone will be able...

I went back to the shop, and got a mixed response. I am quite sure the manager understood that I was telling the truth, but he was at a loss to explain it, because the very tank that the Fancy Guppies came from was a picture of perfect health. Nonetheless, he assured me he will replace the lost...

The shop promised to replace any lost fish, when this all clears up. They also gave me Ektol Cristal to use. It states it is active against columnaris. Does anyone know anything about this med? It's made by JBL and it's actives are:- Tosylchloramide sodium 4.8% Sodium percarbonate 3% di-Sodium...

The tank was given Interpet Anti Fungus & Finrot treatment last night, but it didn't save the neon or Boris. The shop have given me Ektol Cristal which is made by JBL, with a promise to replace the fish when all is well. It claims to be active against finrot/columnaris etc but if it were any...

This thread has gone WAAAAAY off track now...lol So, DreyOfAud, did you ever go back to see if Ichi was there? What happened? Edit: Typos....lol

Does anyone know anything about Maracyn Plus? I can get some from the US, but not sure if it's the ones mentioned (maracyn1 &2) on here often.

Ummm, no offence but it's 'Bristle Nose', not 'Bristol Nose'....lol Bristle as in the bristles the adults end up having, Bristol is a large-ish city in the UK......just thought I'd clear that up to save any embarrassment lol

GREAT NEWS! At least the BN plecs are being fed well!

The others are not good, but since this is a Betta forum, I am keeping the Emergencies thread updated, the link is at the top of the thread. Thanks to everyone and their kindness, but I fear it will get worse before it gets better :(
