please, spell properly ><" but i get what you're saying; that employee and that guy should be shot.

alas! i finally get my second- er, third- tank =) you see, my grandmother is moving from Quebec down here sometime soon, and i had the brilliant idea to get her a smallish tank- 5 or 10 gallons- as decoration and a housewarming gift, as something for her to take care of. she looooves dogs and...

well, my weeks been eventful. and i'm damn glad i changed my water yesterday; it froze up again today! either way, i've moved Cairo (muddy Pharoah-type crowned veiltail) and Rinkee (red crowned/semi-split veiltail Grrl) into their new abodes; 1g jars! Rinkee has a dose of black and purple...

George is gone. the one Betta who was NOT exposed to fungus! EVER! i blame myself, as when we were returning from a very confusing trip to Quebec i silently asked my cousin's BettaGrrl (who was in the car with us) to give me a sign about what i should do. funny sign, she killed my Boy. the Boy...

just a queshon; can Japonicus Shrimp (bought for a buck, wooo) survive in 68*-71* water with regular water changes and Bettas? =)

-eats fungus- yes, yes. the fungus claimed another of the Boyz. this time, 'twas Roc. my pharoah. the fishie i wanted since i found Bettas -whine- then, i went to my LPS to reorder my Double-tail and get my cousin a Betta, and got another one. impulse =) turns out he's a Crowned-Veiltail...

he's already telling you his name, can't you hear him? maybe he's the quiet type, then, or his daddy didn't name him. either way, i think he looks like a Raggling =)

after changing Rinkee's icky water today to nice clean water, i watched her for a moment. what does the queen do? comes right over and inspects her subject, with the eyes tilted forward and everything. on a whim, i look at her from a different side of her bowl. she swims over and stares right...

that damn fungus. i'm going to beat it until it looks like a mushy, floaty mess -growls- the same fungus that claimed Crumple Stiltskin and nearly got Flashy also got King Tut. he's dead, gone. my pretty-tough-boy Crowntail, the pinkish one with cornflower tail and dorsal and bloodred anal, is...

hi, my name is amber, and i am a fishaholic. now that that's over and done with; a few of you know of my very random 50g, and my Goldfish-only 10g, and the assorted bowls, boxes, tanks and jars my Bettas control. now that i know i can order any fish i want (-le gasp-) from my LPS, i will. so...

seeing Canyon's post made me think... what's your dream Betta? list two, p'ease; one that is reasonable, that you KNOW you can achieve, and one that is totally out there and way impossible xD 1 - my Pharoah! if he was a Crown or Double he would be perfect, but i've wanted a Pharoah Betta for...

none of my friends get it when i babble on about my fishies. my boyfriend seems to understand that if he harms my fishies in any way when he's here, his butt is on the pavement out the door. i made this perfectly clear when he scared George. otherwise, i'm utterly silent around my friends. from...

i hate how people do that. i love how my cat stretches out and purrs everywhere, and how my dog greets me (though she could tone the hopping down). but i also love how my Bettas dance, and how everyone else flocks to the front of the tank, and how my Goldies try as hard as they can to force...

well, went into my LPS today just knowing there were no Bettas, as the order two weeks ago went *POOMFPH* and died. i was positive i was only picking up my Angels, and new bowls for the Boyz and Grrl. instead, i walked out with one bowl (on store credit :X) two Angels, one Goldie, some glass...

-stamps forehead- would you believe- even without water- i am already planning to get more Boyz 'n Grrlz? the way i see it, my breeder trap can house the other Grrl i'm getting beside Rinkee, and then the Barracks can handle four Boyz again... which means i can get another one. drat, my LPS...

it's a matter of preference. there's not much difference between them- other then the need for a heater. both types get sick, both need the same environment, both have spunk. though more Tropical fish are more colorful than coldwater varieties. personally, i'd go Tropical. get a few simple fish...

thanks :) all those extra posts confused me, i didn't think i'd get a reply! the Tetras are about 3/4" long, the Angels maybe 1 1/4. my dad doesn't seem to care about the tank anymore, just stops it gurgling away and pours water in now and then, so basically i can have a free-for-all...

i was just wondering, since it is a big no-no to keep Angels with Neons, it this true of other slim-bodied Tetras, like Glowlights? =) i saw the most beautiful 'Calico' and 'Zebra' mutts at my LPS, and am dying to add at least one of the itty-bitty babies to the fifty. edit: ... why is this...

little fish. and big fish. really, i just like Bettas, Platties, Loaches, Plecos, Angels and Guppies ^^ and Goldies. Goldies are cute =)

the fungus that claimed my poor Crumple Stiltskin on Saturday does not want to fold. it has now attacked Flashy's fins, and Rinkee's mouth. after a quarter of an hour of thought i caught and moved both of them into the water-change cups with some fungus cure and they are floating in a breeder...

a note on Karma- it only comes back to bite bad people in the ass :P if this is inappropriate, can some Modly Being censor the bad Amber?

St. Cichlid- sadly, no one can be trusted. we don't even know if you're twelve, and if you are you are a horrible kid. seriously, i know people on pot who act better then you. :unsure:

thanks for all your input, guys. i found out why it fell the first time, and it was my fault- i didn't *click* the suction cup in! actually, now i can't get the damn thing to come apart unless i slide the cups out of the water and yank :lol: i might just buy a second barracks, and divide them...

from the age of 6 to 11, i kept a pair of Oranda/Lionhead Goldies- who were, oh-so creatively, named Bubbles and Goldie. Bubbles was 3" and male, Goldie was 2" and female. they lived in a 5/10 gallon tank, filtered, with some live Val to pick at. a wild-caught Minnow and Pond Snail lived in the...

hi there :) i've seen your numerous posts about your Arabian, Aurora, and i'd like to ask you some horse-stuff :) in April about we moved from the city down to a 5 acre farm, and when my mom gets enough money she's going to be buying an Appaloosa mare. now, when i used to ride lessons i was...

TDins, i've already got a Black Kuhlii pair in with my other four Kuhliis, and i'm sure they'd adore another solid compadre to cause trouble with ^^ i'm beginning to love the fact my school forces 40 hours of community service out of everyone, otherwise i'd never have the fun i do taking care...

aw, Sasha, that's horrible. i lost my Froggie same way (poor Shorty) and Crumple to fungus as well- it's horrid to watch your babies die. -snugs-

for those who don't know, the Betta Barracks is a long plastic thing that can be seperated into four compartments, made to house male Bettas safely side by side. there's a 'hood' with a hole for each compartment, and smaller holes drilled into the 'front' for circulation. it can be suctioned to...

if you really feel like becoming a chemist, you can alter the chemistry of your water with a buffer and make it softer- BEFORE you introduce anything. my dad did this, and we lost three Tetras, all our Frogs and a few Shrimp because the buffer was too much for them. if not, you might be able to...

supposedly, it was gonna keep us from getting sick. fat chance, all my brothers and sisters are belly-up because of it! *FishiePout* ~ Rinkee :wub:

ohhh, i did that once :) i had a dream i'd found a beautiful Melano male Betta in my LPS, and bought an Opaque White female online, and when i bred them i ended up with these GORGEOUS silvery Bettas with red vental fins and white faces. sooooo pretty. then i woke up :X now i'm determined to...

many people say that Goldfish will get huge, no matter what. i think otherwise. for five years i kept an Oranda (Lionhead?) pair together in a tank; the male (definately a male, he always got fishie-zits) grew to 3 inches, the female grew to 2. sadly, the boy was claimed by my cat as dinner and...

xD well, i returned from my weekly volunteer work at my LPS with a Calico Fantail Goldie and a Red Betta Grrl in hand. i paid nothing! i was only going to get the Goldie, then Francesca said i could take a few fish- for free! so long as stock isn't severely dented i can apparently take anything...

having no water really, truly, screws everything up. without water, my Boyz had to move into the Barracks in the 50, and the stress brought down a wave of fungus on Crumple. two days ago, i moved him into his cup and onto the stove so he could be warm and be cured by the fungicide, it worked...

er... hi there, i suppose. my name is Rinkee and i guess i'm Amber's newest Betta. but i have my own category, uh-huh. i'm not one of the Boyz, i am the little Grrl. really tiny, that's why my name is Rinkee! well, it's really Rinky-Dinky, because i'm that tiny! but i'm tough, that's why i'm a...

well, i'm sure your wife appreciated the Betta- and what's more you'll be taking care of her l'il heart-colored baby! riiiight? :P i've seen good critter keeper-type things at the dollar store, 3/4 of a gallon for a dollar, made for bugs. great containers! if only they sold silk plants and...

thanks everyone, for your help! it's been settled i will simply get a fancy Goldie about the same size as Bug as a pal. she sure is having a blast in her brand new tnak, and i'm positive a new friend would only help =)

would a Ryukin and an Oranda pair be good with the 'Moor? i've only ever had Orandas in a pair, you see, and i'm not sure if different varieties of fancies would fight or something. the 'Moor is about an inch and a half long, three inches round the middle (fat bugger!) and a real sweetie.

after much thought, i have decided to do something. see my sig? see the 10 and 50 gallon tanks? all the fish in the 10 will move to the 50, which has had it's inhabitants for roughly a month now with only a few Shrimp/Frog casualties resulting from the pH Buffer. my Bettas in their temporary...

i'd get him. that string might possibly be remains of his dorsal fin, the last ray. they may not grow back, but it won't hurt him that much. out of every 10 spawns one will end up with mutation fish- with colors that don't relate at all to their parents, missing fins, extra fins, etc. you might...
