If you put a picture or bin liner on the back of the tank, the fish would feel more secure and not try to hide. Floating plants will help too

What are friends?

Along the same sort of lines as my recommendation. I was just considering the hormones that will be omitted. The male will be expecting a 'good time' and will be aggressively pushing those hormones out, stressing himself in the process. The female will be expecting an attack, stressing herself...

Can still stress them out being in the same water though..

Don't release them in the same tank. Set up a tote for the female for the time being. Put your cycled media into a filter, or make one from a bottle and an airpump (you can find many videos on how to do this on YouTube) test the water of the tote daily as the filter will not "instantly cycle"...

Good looking pleco that

Will somebody be doing door to door searches for marimo balls? Sounds like a good reality tv show

Got a new one, Oscars are only good looking as juveniles

I understand that this was a tragic thing to have happened to you, but this was your individual situation. Not every sorority works out this way. I would have personally given 11 bettas a little more than 20 gallons, although I have seen others do it. I just think that others may be able to...

Feel like fish need really normal, abrupt names lol

Niel.

@PheonixKingZ sorry, I was sleeping lol @carligraceee on top of the great advice @Colin_T provided, I'd say that it's very important to know what you're getting into. Do plenty of research. It's very time consuming and hands on and a clear plan is necessary. You'll need to know what you plan to...

Glad that it all worked out well :)

Try crushing the pellet into small chunks, soaking it for a few minutes in a pot of their tank water and then shooting it in with a pipette

Most members here joined after receiving bad advice from the pet store lol

Again, another well written description of me

I'm living proof

Unfortunately, that's the problem with attempting to create dwarf species

I know what you're saying. I travel 45 minutes to and from work everyday on dual carriage ways and through towns. The driving that I witness on my commute is always interesting. Just the other day I had someone pull out on me to block me from merging, in a merge lane (!) and then immediately...

Serves me right for going to work on my birthday and not spending the day in the pub!

Its not advisable to keep bettas with any other fish. Theyre not community fish

It's practically a vase

Jar when you notice nips in fins. It's usually the biggest of the spawn which are the offender's. In such a small spawn, they will be easily identifiable. You can try jar the biggest first and see how the others react, if the nipping stops. When they're in jars, huge waterchanges are needed...

Yeah, @mbsqw1d I'll pay you and @CassCats to sort mine out.. when i say pay, I mean you can be in my company free of charge. Think about it

I've seen plants be dipped on YouTube, I've never tried it myself so cannot advise. King of D.I.Y has a tutorial on his YouTube channel though. Search it and check it out

I'd only euthanize a fish if it was in obvious pain and struggling. There's nothing inhumane about ending an animals torture. Leaving it to suffer in misery is inhumane and dropping it in boiling/freezing water or anything similar is also horrendous. If the fish is so far gone that it isn't...

I was once riding my motorbike home, after work, on my 21st birthday. The road i was riding along was full of bends and in a very wooded area. Behind me was a very impatient car which decided to attempt to overtake me on one of the bends. Mid overtake, another car appeard on the bend, coming in...

I agree with @AdoraBelle Dearheart I'd love to see this project. Shell Dwellers are very interesting and I love how the scapes can look with the scattered shells and what not. Cool idea

Every now and then I spot my Nerites when doing waterchanges, but usually, I only know they're there when I see 10,000 eggs scattered all over my hardscapes.. snails are just aquatic trolls

The only reason I ask is that some of the flashy substrates will leach ammonia into the tank for a period of time. @Neleono questions will find what the problem is :)

What substrate are you using?

I'm certainly not an expert, but I'll take gorgeous. Cheers

The tail type looks like a delta to me. The fish looks to be carrying a Koi gene. Dont be surprised if that little cluster of black which you can see on his side intensifies and spreads across his body, creating a beautiful Koi pattern. Good looking fish

Any hygrophila type is decent aswell

I run around the garden, occasionally clothed, swinging it above my head until I feel tired. The neighbours have asked me to stop whaling as I do it though

For all we know there's probably tons of fish in the wild with swim bladder problems lol. I don’t often scuba dive in tropical rivers looking at wild fish tbh

Fair point i suppose, never really thought of it. Never fed betta's flakes. I would have thought that betta's would attack the flake in multiple, singular bites opposed to just gobbling them whole like a pellet. Suprised a labyrinth fish would have any problem taking in air... first time I've...

How do they swallow more air with flakes in particular?

Wouldn’t feed a betta flake as it swells and is also harder to give appropriate portion sizes

I'd be surprised, but I suppose it is possible. If you didn't do weekly water changes, then it probably would drop your PH. Just monitor it with a liquid test kit. Could tie fishing wire to the wood and tie to down to other pieces of wood/rocks in the aquarium if gluing suction cups to it didn't...
