Yeah i stuck loads of media from my other tanks in. I know it's small for a fish but I researched and was told it is fine for one Betta. No I've got it I'm surprised at how small it looks. But a small tank like this can hold a cycle then?

I wanna message her but can't find her on here now for some reason. I think she's called Lorachix or something like that

It's for one Betta

Thanks that's stopped me worrying. I was told to no even bother trying and switch off the filter and do two 50% water changes and one 100% each week! So shall I continue with my cycling and just test like I normally would?

I've been told on another forum that I'm wasting my time cycling my nano tank. I've put in a load of mature media from my other tanks. But people said a small tank won't hold a cycle and it's impossible. How do people with shrimp tanks do it then?

everyone thinks 1 is better so I changed my mind back lol. I'm sticking with it now.

Went for number 1

www.bettaboys.co.uk They are brilliant we all buy from them and they just got a load of new stock in the other day

Yep a single girl is fine, I had my girl on her own with different tank mates. If you want a group you can too but like you said 5 or 6 is the minimum to reduce aggression. If you want a female on her own there are many suitable tank mates. Cardinal Tetra, platies, rasboras, cory, snails...

I have the choice between these two and I'm not usre which to go for. The second has more purple running through him which I like but the first one's body looks a bit better.

veil tail and she's very pretty

Wanted: Java fern Condition Required Price Limit Picture or Link to Item Location Cornwall Is there any kind soul here who'd donate me some Java Fern? I'd really appeciate it.

ahh that's what I wanted to know, thanks for that. I'll get a 25w. I only see the interpet ones at pets at home and they're very long. Too long to go in the compartment in the back of the tank. I'll go for one on ebay. Thanks very much for the advice

ooooh he sounds lovely. I am in love with Bettas now.

Yes he's a halfmoon. It was a hard choice tbh. I do love the pinks and purples but he just stood out because he's sooooo sparkly

What do you think?

Yeas many people I know use a chi for Bettas

Now that's what we thought of. Her main annoyance is huffing it upstairs to flush down the toilet. I'll check ebay out. Thanks

One Betta. Thaks Jity that's very helpful, ot sure why the OP was moaning. The thing is I don't wanna spend out if my 50w is ok to use in there. If it isn't because it is likely to overheat or something the 'll buy a 25w. I just wondered that was all. oh also the heater slots in the back, I...

Weird I just got linked here as I'm looking for a good small heater and foud the links provided very helpful. What more did you expect?

I have a 10 litre nano cube. I haven't got a heater for it yet but have a spare 50w heater but would this be dangerous to use i any way? Does anyoe know of a small heater I can use?

Do salt baths work? I'd just get some proper stuff to kill em off.

Thanks that's what she wants, to just go straight out the window. I'll tell her

My sister has been looking at the python tank cleaner where you don't neeed to be in and out will buckets to clean it and fill it. Is there anything like this in the UK? I know some people could make one but we're girls and not crafty or handy at all lol. If you can't get anything like that in...

Thanks

It goes by the litres. Hold on and I'll double check for you here is a link: http://www.bettasplendens.co.uk/almondleaves.php I bought bettas from that guy and he uses IAL all the time so I went by that guide. I have one in a 21 litre.

I get told off all the time. I wanted another tank for another Betta so just a small one. I was told in no uncertain terms NO. It's my money so what does it matter? Apparantly I'm wasting my money on "junk". I went ahead and bought the tank and it's on it's way lol.

each?

I'm getting 6 and just covering postage. Just wondered how much they are in the shops. Thanks

I'll take them if you can post them hanny. I'll pay the postage cost.

I just need 3 if anyone has any going cheap?

People are always asking about Betta tank mates, it's always coming up on here. How about a sticky thread at the top where we can answer this and in future people can look at that?

I'd treat with a whitespot treatment tbh. My sister had an outbreak and treated and they're all gone. It's such a shame you lost your CT red. Sometimes stress when they first come to you can lower their immune system leaving them vulnerable to allsorts. My Betta was at deaths door for the first...

Betta people say as long as it's 2 gallons or more then yes. You're is over that so it would be fine size wise. depending on your country and the weather and how hot it is where you live you'd need a heater tbh. You'd also need to do more water changes without a filter. People do do it. It's not...

have you tried actual white spot treatment? My sister had an outbreak recently and that cleared it right up. Oh sorry just read he died. Sooooo sorry to hear this

I love your red ct. I'm thinking of a ct or veil tail for my next boy. Not sure which to go for yet.

I took some out. I wish I had gone for java fern for the back because it also looks better I think. I'm not that keen on the ones I've got. They're growing though so that must be a good sign.

What does that mean? My sister is raising up 3 guppy fry she diecovered in her tank one morning, we think her gourami had the rest. they're in a floating thing in the tank, she noticed one of them has one red eye and one black eye.

Oh thanks Jinty I do tend to buy something and then kick myself when I see it cheaper elsewhere

ok thanks I wanted some kind of cave for my betta. I've got one piece of wood in there so far.
