Oh, okay. Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure, :) it was already tiny to start out with...I'd say if anything it isn't much bigger.

Well, so far so good with my first Killifish fry. :) He's still alive! I've been doing some small water changes in his little container and I added some more moss yesterday. So far I haven't put any Microworms in with him, and he's 4 days old today. When should I start feeding him that...and how...

Okay thanks Builu and MissMarie!

Wait a second...I'm keeping my Betta in a fish bowl currently (and have done so numerous times, with other Bettas), and they seem to do fine without a heater or filter, as long as I add some warm water from my tank every couple days or so. The house is fairly warm, but I wouldn't say 80 degrees...

Hi everyone, I wonder if any of you can give me some advice as to what and how often I should feed my Bettas. First a little info: I have 3 Betta Splendens, 2 female and 1 male. The male is in a breeding tank, as I'm currently trying to breed him. Yesterday I used a Toms Hatch'n'Feeder and fed...

Okay good. :) I just spent quite a few minutes looking over the 2 hatching containers (after removing the 1 fry) and couldn't spot any more. I think I'll let them go at least until tomorrow in case any more hatch, then I'll dry out the peat...which brings me to another question...what's the best...

Thanks Colin, since you've had experience hatching these, I'll take your advice and do that. I really don't expect that one fry to live, but I'm gonna try!

Wooh!!! I just spotted 1 Killifish fry! :D Haha it's SOOOO tiny! I added the X-mass moss to the hatching trays yesterday...so what do I do now. Should I move any fry I see into a new cont. and put the moss in there? Or should I leave them in the hatching trays (which now have decomposing...

Ah, okay thanks for that info. I'll probably add a snail to the Betta tank once I have fry in there and let it produce any infusoria for the fry, and then just feed them on M.W. and B.B.S. And I'll keep the infusoria I'm growing in the jars for the Killies. Still no sign of any of them today. :(...

Hello, We originally got them for a friend who's bird died. But it turned out she didn't want anymore...so we kept these. Now we are getting tired of all the mess and tweeting. :P And really don't have anywhere to let them out of their cages, so we'd like to find them better homes. I'm raising...

My sisters and I raised these parakeets (see photos) late last year (and sold them). They came from a beautiful yellow male and a blue sky female. :) We currently have two more young ones that look about like these, (blue and white) and are hoping to sell them all (parents, and babies) as soon...

Okay, thank you. I'd appreciate it if you would ask your friend. If I have the infusoria (which is a type of paramecium culture right?) Do I also need to get paramecium culture too? I already started some infursoria as I believe that would be easier, than tracking down some paramecium culture...

I've researched infusoria on other sites and found a person who put snails in the jars with their infusoria said the snails helped it along. But since I put some algae water from my Betta tank, in the jars with the lettuce, maybe I don't need any snails in there. By what I've researched, I'll...

Haha okay! That makes sense. :D Thanks.

Biulu, what is the "OP"? Sorry, I'm not familiar with some of the terms you guys use on here. :) I raise fish by myself and I'm not part of any club, group, etc. I also don't know any fish hobbyists in town. Most of what I get comes from Walmart (I know not a very good place) and the internet...

Thank you for the info. I noticed that website is in the UK, so it would probably be better for me to get some snails from some place closer, especially considering the strange weather we've been having here in Montana. The last plants I ordered from a different country froze by the time they...

I have a question about snails... Would it be a good idea to put a snail or two, in my infusoria (mason jar along with the lettuce leaves)? So they could eat the lettuce and make infusoria? If so what type of snail? I'm considering getting some snails for my Killifish raising trays, (when they...

Okay, I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Okay, so I'm going to go start some infusoria, using some water from my Betta tank (it has a lot of algae in there, and has been established for quite a while). I'm planning to use lettuce leaves, instead of banana peel (since it has pesticides and I don't want that to harm the fish). I don't...

Thank you for the replies. I'll start some infusoria right away, but it won't be ready for at least a week right? What do I do in the mean time? Since the X-mass moss hasn't been in my aquarium very long (only 4 days). If I spot any fry, I'll move them (with a baster) to a new container filled...

I don't have any Java moss, just a little X-mas moss that I bought over the internet and added to my aquarium about 3 days ago. It froze in the mail and I put the bag it was in, on a heating pad until it thawed out, then added it to my tank. It still has quite a lot of brown on it, but there is...

Thank you both for the answers. Here's an update on what I've done now: Before going to bed, I noticed the water in the small tub I had the Killie eggs in, had turned pretty cold (instead of 82 degrees like when I took it out of the aquarium). So I carefully poured the Killie mixture (peat...

How many hours before I start seeing the Killiefish? It's been about 5 and I think I see some wiggling on the bottom, but it's hard to tell (even using a magnifying glass) because with the Microworms everything is moving in there! What do they look like and approx. how big will they be? I know...

Just an update. :) My plants appear to be doing well, I have the Co2 thing hooked up the right way now and the tank it all clear again. My Betta seems to like it in there. :) Once the plants grow out and the brown edges go away, I'll post some photos. Thanks for everyone's help!

Okay everyone, now for an update! :) I bought a microworm culture on eBay, and started growing them. I've fed some to my Bettas, but haven't seen them eating them, maybe they are too small for them? Anyways...I have had those going great for about a week (I can see them climbing up the sides of...

I ended up moving the Betta and then doing a 50% water change (because of how cloudy it was, you could barely see into the tank). And then I hooked up an air stone and cleaned the filter I had running on the tank, and now I'm just waiting (oh and I moved the airline out of the liquid in the...

Oh yikes, are you saying I was supposed to put the airline into the bottle leaving it above the water/yeast/sugar mixture? Not INTO the liquid? :P That would explain it, I guess I followed instructions that weren't clear enough. It didn't tell me not to put it into the mixture. :S Thanks a lot...

Can you explain how to do that in more detail, I'm not sure what you mean...

Okay, thanks for your help! I'll do that. In the meantime, do you think the Betta will be okay in there? Or should I move her into a bowl for a while? (I have a Betta tank setup that I could take some water from to put in a bowl for her).

Thank you for the response. How much water should I change?

Hello, I hope I'm posting this in an appropriate place. I really need some answers quickly. So I have a live planted 30 (or so) gallon aquarium. Yesterday I set up a Co2 bottle for it, this is how I made it: I took a 2 liter bottle and made a small hole in the lid, (just big enough for...

Okay, I don't either. I just wondered if they might eat them. :)

I've researched some more and found answers to most of my questions, so the last thing I would like to know is just if these plants are okay to put in with Killifish... If anyone knows, please respond. Thanks for your time.

Hmm, okay. Well since I've tried twice with these eggs then I think I'll get some fresh ones. :) Thanks for the responses!
