im starting a planted tank and ive just found out that i can’t add salt to it. *shucks* :X my problem is that i usually always add salt to my betta’s tanks as a preventative. what can i add to their new homes that will work to protect my bettas but not harm my plants? i’m also wondering if i...

i dont have any caves for my bettas but i do build them little "houses" out of rocks - 2 rocks as the sides and one as the roof (know what i mean?) :) Some of my guys really seem to like these little "houses" and some other just ignor them totally. I also find they are helpful if you have a...

hehehe i know guppy dude.. i think ive got a bit of a problem ;)

thanks cutecotton well i guess i should set up that tank and put the heathly girls together, just to be safe (as opposed to being lazy :P) i just pulled out my melafix and it does say it can be used for wounds - silly me not thinking to read the bottle. :rolleyes: i will post some pics...

so i went away this wkend and “accidentally” had 4 females, 1 male and 4 dwarf frogs follow me home. :rolleyes: hehehe unfortunately the girls are not all in perfect condition. i must not have looked them over carefully enough at the shop as one of the girls is missing an eye! :( Im sure it...

thats a sweet logo i hope it brings your team loads of luck this season :flex:

interesting nibbles- makes sense. ive also heard that you will see white stuff if there is any bleach left over. im gonna have to get someone else to do a second opinion on the sniffing as i seem to have a chronic stuffy nose that isnt so great at smelling these days. :/ thanks for the info :)

ah man what a disapointment - poopers! :X at least now you've got some more time to get his house all set up. i guess now he's just gonna make a fashionably late entrance :nod: hehe

ahhhhh :fun: sound awesome - looking forward to seeing them of course no big rush or anything blah, im gonna be up for awhile - got like 6 million report cards to do for swimming lessons tomorrow, eeeek!! :crazy:

sweet - sounds like im on the right track with the bleach method B) thankfuly i dont think i'll need to use any salt as there isnt any caked on junk, phew, but i'll keep that in mind for the future. thanks cutecotton - its pretty awesome that my city does it plus it helps loads when ive...

i tend to do the same thing - lose one and end up with at least one more cant wait to see the pics, they sound stunning :wub:

hehehe :rofl: *squints and looks real close at your tank* Phew! B) yeah that would be funny – an interesting decoration thats for sure a little too much for me, but whatever floats the boat

Eeeee! Uber excited! :hyper: So tonite i went looking though other ppls trash (ahhh its not as bad as it sounds – let me explain) my city has this junk collection program where in the summer people can put items that they no longer need on the curb in front of their house and the city will...

thats a bummer nibbles sorry bout the loss of your male :/ i'm glad to hear that is sounds like your girl will pull through. :) i lost one of my fave vt boys that way, went away canada day wkend and came back to find him on my carpet floor :-( my mum had been looking after him and i guess...

thanks for the suggestions guys i really like the idea of getting 2 more girls :D im a little worried thou as Georgina is REALLY aggressive - she flares like mad and destorys the other girls fins. :-( maybe i'll just keep her seperate and get 2 more girls to spread the aggression out...

Well i finally got a new home for the 3 girls i picked up a couple wks ago. At first i had them all together in a 5.5 gal and Georgina picked on the other two hardcore, she was sooo brutal :no: I took her out and left the other 2 in there with a divider between them. I then used the divider to...

thanks for sharing all the stories, i love hearing them now how did i end up getting hooked on bettas....? -_- well it started last summer, my sister bought this really pretty vt from the lps. he used to live in our kitchen. He had soooo much personality – every time you were in the kitchen...

thats a terrific looking tank Itty Bitty Betta :wub: what type of filter were you using on it? im curious as im in the process of gathering the materials to build two 15 gal divided tanks (3sections in each) and im rather stumped/worried bout filtration and current. :/

ahhh i see i see, im actually splitting the tank in 3 sections do corys get lonely and need to be in pairs?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: hehehe i like that... i actually have 3 nameless girls at the moment but they arent angels thats for sure... more like little devils. :sly: edit: silly me forgot to include my betta's names boys: zeek, caffine, skylar, phan (phantom), burnabee, gavin (rip)...
