If Colin becomes moderator I will leave the site. My vote would be for @Byron

One of the problems with getting a new moderator is finding somebody who can work the forum software.

I agree with essjay. Male Bettas are solitary fish and best kept that way.

Wow I know IAL is good but I never knew it improves water quality, Water quality is not about the things you add to the tank but of course you know that. Freeze dried anything is rubbish and I wouldnt feed it to my fish. I will be honest and very blunt here, you like Colins advice because he...

How exactly is the OP meant to do that? What magic product would you suggest the OP uses?

Please give more details on this filtered water, how exactly is it filtered? This could be a problem. Stress coat is rubbish and thats where it belongs.

Shrimp need stable water conditions and a very mature tank, large frequent water changes are a no no because it messes with their molting this is why larger tanks are needed. I am a member of a shrimp keeping site and they suggest no more that 10% a week water change on shrimp tanks, I also...

Heres some quality Bettas. http://www.fishchick.com.au/shop

I agree, What I want to see is people getting into breeding quality fish and enjoying the hobby, when people dont do things right whether it be fish keeping or breeding and things go badly wrong most abandon the hobby. Right now there a 5 fish tanks in the local salvation army op shop near...

Its a camera on a Iphone, as you are old think of it like sending a painting via smoke signals

My tips for breeding Bettas. Do your research ask lots of questions. Get the tanks and mason jars you will need, Cycle the tanks. Know your genetics, Know what tail types you will get if you cross a VT with a HM for example. Have a plan for what you will do with fry. Get the Best quality male...

Im learning to use my Iphone camera. and I did give it a bit of a clip.

First 2 angels in a 55liter just wont work, 1 the tank is too small 2 as they grow bigger there will be problems, If they are male and female unless they are bonded there will be problems, If they are 2 males there will be problems resulting in death. Your tank is too small for mollies and...

Hi While we wait on your water parameters, Let me ask you this, What do you want from your tank? Will it have live plants? Have you got a heater? What type of filter do you have? What type of substrate do you have? Sand or gravel? What type of light do you have? With 50 liters you will be...

Mine loves peas too, de shelled of course. Every now n them put some blood worm near his fave hiding place he will find it and eat it. Also offer him other veg, They love zucchini but it has very little nutritional value.

Actually salt baths and refrigeration can work wonders for some things but it must be done correctly or it can harm the fish.

Hi What fish do you have, please include snails and shrimp

This thread is 5 years old.

Get a plastic bag from your fish shop put some water in it some air and seal it with a rubber band, Kinda like the fish shop did when they sold it to you.

Why?

A 40 gallon tank is way to small for a BGK.

If the Op wants to breed fish thats fine but first he should research it instead of breeding then asking what to feed fry for example. And some of the members on this site should stop encouraging bad fish keeping.

PS Your shrimp will also love eating the veggies in the above post.

Why did you cross a VT with a HM? What are you trying to breed for? Correct, Not feeding fry the right diet when young can cause it. Also correct, especially in low grade petshop Bettas I still stand by my comments in other threads, The OP should not be breeding fish

Bn's will eat cherry shrimp when they can catch them. Probably because the BN was starving, they cant exist on algae alone. Why is a BN eating pellets unusual? On top of pellets and frozen food like blood worm, shrimp and bits of raw fish I also feed my BN veggies. Heres a list of things...

Try this.

In most cases medication is a waste of money. At 30C (86F)Ich will not reproduce At 32C (89.5F) the parasite will die

Actually no it wont. To control Ich all you need to do is raise the water temp to 30c ( 86f ).

A quality flake is the same as a quality pellet and I challenge anybody to prove me wrong. There is no difference between say New life spectrum pellets and flake they are made with the same ingredients. If your fish is having problems with bigger pellets try nano pellets.

Your light is bright enough for the plants we discussed above.

Try this looks neater https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12-16mm-Aquarium-Stainless-Steel-Mesh-Filter-Guard-Fish-Shrimp-Net-Protect-Mesh-/222694954618

Cat scan?

Your filter intake will need a shrimp screen if it already hasnt got one.

Do nothing, If there is a male in the tank she will lay the eggs the male will fertilize them and look after them if there is no male she will reabsorb them.

10 gallon is about big enough for a Betta, go with 20 if you can. Are they are bonded pair?

Carnivore means meat eater. Unless the fish is a strict vegetarian all fish will eat baby shrimp if they catch them, Heres a comprehensive list of fish that are shrimp safe 1, otto 2. 3. 4. 5 Make sure your nitrates stay under 20 or your shrimp will have problems. You should find out...

Says who? LOL One of my shrimp trying to get into the HOB were there is lots of yummy stuff to eat.

What are your water parameters? PH KH GH? Red cherry shrimp are hardy and can be kept in most conditions, However Bee shrimp need special conditions, They cant be kept with Guppies for example because the water is too hard.
