Thank you Devon-Charm, I have to say I didn't cycle my other two boys tanks as they were a bit rushed, due to me seeing them and buying them. I did put cycled sponge from my big tank in there filters though. So I may do this again. That makes it even more exciting though as it means if I see...

Thank you, that's really good to hear. You have persuaded me that this is the way to go. I will be purchasing the BiOrb shortly. Then I can get it running and cycling ready for my baby - when I find him that is! Of course I will post pictures for you. You have made me very happy and excited. I...

Thank you for your replies. Tropical Girl - I have two boys at the moment they are in 3 gallon plastic tanks - one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen, both are filtered and heated. My husband has agreed to me having my dream yellow betta in the lounge, but I have to have a nice looking tank...

Oh thank you. That is good to know. I didn't want to get one if they aren't very good for the fish. Do you have a heater in yours out of interest?Also sorry to be a pain, but could you see him ok in it? I always worry that they may look distorted due to it being round if you know what I mean?!

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone had one of these, and if they would be ok for a male? Thank you.

Oh thanks Mermaidmel - I can certainly hang in there - well actually I want one now - but no I can wait. If you could keep your feelers out for me that would be fantastic - you certainly seem to have a knack for sniffing out gorgeous fish. I've just had a look at yours. :drool:

Oh no AJ, that is so sad - I keep putting my foot in it tonight! I am so sorry, how sad for you. I don't think I will comment on anything else - safer that way. :blush:

Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss, how upsetting. These guys are so easy to get attached to, and with him being so beautiful. Wow, you will have to show us pictures of your spawn they will be amazing. At least we won't be fighting for the same fish - lol. :good: We must keep all our fingers...

AJ I love your little hamster - very cute. You are so lucky, I haven't even seen a yellow VT down here. Like you I love them all though, but as this is the last one I am allowed I have to make sure it is exactly what I want! My other two were in vases in a garden centre - I'm talking tiny half...

Oh wow - that yellow fish is more beautiful than I could have imagined, maybe Mermaidmel will be able to tell me if there is any little boys similar available from the breeder. :drool: KG Bettas - thank you for the info I will have a look this weekend. Hopefully I can get in there first. Your...

Unfortunately I am in South East England - near Gatwick. That is so typical. :angry: Could you send a few down - LOL! :hyper:

Does anyone know where I could purchase a yellow betta from. I don't mind tail type, I would just really love a little yellow boy. My local fish shops aren't any good and I do so want one. Many thanks in advance.

Please can someone help. I got my mum her first betta a few weeks ago and everything was going well. However, I went round tonight and have noticed that one of it's eyes is missing. This is recent, and it looks white with red in the middle, with bits hanging off. It isn't popeye it just appears...

Oh wow, all those little baby ones - I would want to keep them all though. :rolleyes: They are all so individual. I love the name Rocket. Mine are Chuckie Norris - not very original but I altered it slightly to suit him, and the other one is Mouse, as he is really timid. Pea killed your fish -...

Wow, I wish my husband would let me have that many! They are all so gorgeous and exotic looking. Do you breed them? I don't have any pictures yet, but I will try and get some. My two are just normal V Tails, one is deep red and the other is pale pink, with purples and light blues mixed in - he...

No thank you for your help. He isn't bloated at all. So maybe I won't worry to much about getting him to eat it. I'll just keep his diet varied. I will look up those salts they may be of help in the future.My other guys loves pea so I will keep giving it to him if it doesn't hurt.Are they all...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have to little rescue boys who are now both settled and building bubble nests. However, one of them will not eat his pea. I feed them some once a week, and while one gobbles his down the other one just turns away, is there anything else that I can try...

Hello, I have recently got a Betta boy. I went into a fish shop - which I hate with a passion, but needs must. On the counter in a tiny little vase - which held less than half a litre of water, looking very sad was a little Betta. I have never owned one, but I do keep fish and come on this...

Thank you for the replies. I think I will keep the sand then as I like the look of it. Wow Squid your tank is gorgeous - has it taken you long to get it looking like that? :drool:

Hello, I have decided to set up a planted tank - which seems very daunting. I have been lurking on here for a while now, but I still have one question. I have a Aquacube 40 litre tank, and was going to use sand as the substrate, but I have read somewhere that due to its compactness it can be too...
