Fab! (and thanks for the compliment on the plant scape.!) :blush:

Do snails and shrimp get along?

Java Fern, you say Betta_246? Like this? :hyper: Did a little re-planting (took the metal weight/ties off the plant bunches) so the fishies are a little stressed...they'll get over it. I thiiiink that my tank is cycled now.. The ammonia level is 0, but the nitrate test strip never went any...

Well, I've decided to do a (very carefully monitored) fish-in cycle. I've got three little Cherry Barbs, as well as Betty (female betta) and the snail. I suspect another hitch hiking snail is present in my tank, but It's teeny still, and I've only seen it once. I have some (REALLY) basic...

Betta_246, why do you reccommend Cories over Tetras? I do not have a filter in my old tank (see my first post), but i've heard that hanging some of the gravel/substrate in a stocking in the new tank can work in the same fashion. Anyone out there tried that?

I'm waiting for the tank to cycle now.. I put in about 2litres of old tank water (Including fish poo) to get the ammonia happening, but I don't know if it's enough. I tested for Ammonia/NitrIte and NitrAte, and the levels looked good (perfect actually), but I don't know if that's because it's...

I was thinking perhaps 2 more females (for total of 3 girly bettas and one snail). Add them all at the same time so there's no territory issues, and up the planting/hiding spaces *just* a bit. I only ask because I know fish with the potential to be aggressive do better in uneven numbered...

so here's an update. I tried putting something over the outflow to kill teh current, and it backed the water up and out the air-tube... and emptied half my tank or more on to the floor behind my desk. freakin' awesome. pitched the filter. Been doing weekly water changes while keeping a...

I'm sorry for your loss Haych. It's always sad to see a sweet personality go. :sad: Best of luck getting your tank in order.

as I recall, he wasn't asking for advice. I have a betta in a 2gal tank, and i got blasted in my own thread for its size. Do your water changes, check your levels, and monitor the health/activity of your fish. If he's really not happy, move him. If hes fine...he's fine. I'd like a huge...

Lovely ladies (and gent') you have there!

aw crap.... checking out kijiji.ca *right now*

Haych, it's 12 in across (31cm) 8 in high (20cm) andabout 6 in deep (16cm) but it is concave, and angled strangely toward the back. have at it!

ooh! thanks for all the help guys! @Just_another_one: does putting an obstruction in front of the output put wear on the motor of the filter? (perhaps i could heat my thank this way too!! j/k) I know that I do NOT have the 1.7gal..that whole line of tank is marketed toward goldfish, because...

Thanks Haych and Betta_246, It's smaller than I'd like, and super frustrating because it's not designed to work with any filtration system than the one it comes with, has no light source etc etc.. I think at this point, I'm just making due, and biding my time until I find something larger and...

oy! sorry! Got so caught up trying to resize the dang photos, that I forgot to mention, she's a little female betta. here she is: :lol: and here's her tankmate (edited)

This is Betty. This is Betty looking very unimpressed that I am taking her picture.

Greetings all, been around here for a while... never bothered with the technology long enough to try to post pictures. Here are before and after pics of this silly orange tank I have. 6L (ish) One stowaway snail One lil' girl.. Betty. I'm looking for ideas for filtration (Do i need it? I'm...

I know it's late, but i feel the need to gush about how handsome Spike is. SO stunning!

Great pictures.. Keep em coming! I'm interested to follow their growth!

My first fish was a feeder gold fish that I kept in a cookie jar. yup. Clear plastic cylinder, 6L or 8L capacity. Did it with an undergravel filter and kept it on our kitchen counter. I was about 16 or so. #41#### fish lived for ages... Mohawk was his name. next setup was an Eclipse...

Hi guys.. Looong time since i've been here. I've got a Betta in a bowl (maybe 3L? no filtration, I do a 50% water change ever week or so), and he's happy and alert, but he's got a lump under his 'chin'.. like perhaps a pellet of food got caught and is starting to rot? eew. Now it's got a...

:crazy: <---makes a funny face for the camera nice job on that find! My digi camera just pooched out on me.. the zoom is stuck 'out', but the camera has turned itself off and won't turn on again. Ive tried the battery, i think I'll have to take it in.. baah.. Tay

yeah, I mentioned it to my roomie..About his buddies, he says hes going to "give them sh.." er.. heck for me. I'm not too broken up about it, I've kept fish long enough to know that sometimes, they die, wether its for a good reason or not. :/ I'd like to post a picture to introduce you to...

He is a handsome fellow! nice pick!

thanks for the support guys! I seem to recall a distinctly 'apple fresh' scent to the bubbles. (LOVE the Exlax+hot chocolate idea liz2!!) I don't think it was my roommate, he's a good guy. I think it was one of his buddies trying to be funny or something. (strange what seems logical after a...

Hi, I mentioned in the intro thread that I'm here to solve a mystery. My dear Sam (my little blue betta) just died last night.. Hes been healthy, active, responsive, eating, and all the other good things that a young fish should be. Thismorning i found him dead at the bottom of the tank. ...

Hey Y'all. I'm a long time self-admitted 'fish geek', and i've never been part of an online community like this before. My inspiration for finding this place stemms from a sad story. My Betta (Sam) has just died, and I suspect foul play. My purpose here is to prove my theory wrong, and learn...
