Well, my fish momma instincts kicked in again, and now I've managed to come home with a beautiful little female betta! She's about 1.5" max with a lovely purple sheen (and the darkest stress marks I've ever seen!), and has gotten much more active for the short amount of time I've had her. She's...

He can be a bit shy sometimes, but loves to show off in front of the tank! The others don't seem to notice him.   I love lace gouramis, they really are lovely. I've definitely hit my limit on gouramis though! Yours sounded like a nice pair, sorry you don't have them anymore

Alright, I'll keep that in mind! I have a 10gal quarantine in case things happen to go badly

I was told a while back that my gourami choice was not the greatest and that I should reconsider it. About four more gouramis later, I realize I might have a small addiction to the little fellas Now I'm wondering, is it really that bad? Here's what I've got: -2 Snakeskins (one is a nice 6...

Thanks, but I unfortunately waited too long. The poor guy went completely downhill after the water change. He bloated up, sank to the bottom, started gasping, and looked to be in a lot of pain, so I had to put him down.

I recently moved my lovely little betta to my 10 gallon, since no one was going to be in it anymore. He seemed quite happy with the larger switch and was relatively fine for a while. Recently though, I've noticed that his tail was ripped to shreds, all the way down to his body. I checked to see...

I'm starting to have a few problems with my zebra danios. I started off with a seemingly healthy group of eight, which then went down to seven after one had some sort of swim bladder problem (which does not seem to bother the other fish), and now I have another one freaking out around the bottom...

  Ah, alright, I'll keep an eye on them. So far it hasn't been too bad, but I'll definitely fix things if it gets worse.

Roughly about a month for the gold and blue ones, and a couple of weeks for the dwarfs. They seem to be doing rather well, other than a bit of chasing.   Thanks for the links! It was just a fish I've always wanted to have (along with Oscars), but I'm happy with the setup I have now. Maybe I'll...

Ah, that's what I suspected. Thanks for the info.

After forgetting about this site for a full 2 years (I truly do miss it, actually ), I have come back to make sure that I don't make any terrible mistakes (even though I made quite a few in the time I was gone). Since the new arrival of a lovely 75 gallon tank, I have had the opportunity to...

Thanks!

After coming home from the LFS with a betta sorority on the mind, I saw that my newest boy, Cloud, was no where to be seen. I noticed a black-ish object on the ground, and found out that it was the dried up remains of him! I am very upset about this, and finally noticed the fact that the...

Prism doesn't usually keep his fins clamped, but I think I caught him just as he was swimming to the other side of the tank. He does this thing where he'll clamp his fins and swim to the other side of the tank. I haven't really paid attention to it, especially since he always seems to be flaring...

Alright, thanks again!

Thanks! I was just curious about that. But, would that mean that there is something bothering my other Betta, or would he just be young?  

I am really confused about bubble nests. First, I knew what they were, and wasn't expecting one from my Betta, but now that he's made one, I have no idea! So I managed to get sucked into buying another Betta (I understand all you Betta lovers now!), and I put him in the tank I set up for him...

Never mind, he died. I didn't even have him for three hours!

I managed to get sucked into buying another tank, and another Betta.... But, after I put the Betta in his new home (and of course did all of the necessary things beforehand such as making sure the Betta was used to the water), he didn't seem to want to move. I obviously thought this was stress...

I've been doing my research on stingrays, since I've wanted one for the past 2 months. I'm not quite sure how big of a tank I need for a small stingray, and what the smallest (but easiest to get, no ordering needed is best) stingray is. So, what I need answered is:   1: What is the smallest...

-Adding FREEZING cold water to a Betta tank (he's still alive!) -Having only 1 Kuhli Loach to start with, and with gravel -1 Cory Cat on gravel (everyone seems to make that mistake at first) -4 goldfish in a 10 gallon If I thought hard enough, I could easily come up with 5 more.....

Thanks! She's a Siberian Husky/Border Collie mix.

Sandy   Entry   Verification   This is my first time ever entering in one of these competitions.... But every time I bump into someone while walking Sandy, there is just a shower of compliments about how beautiful she is, so I at least have a tiny bit of confidence!

I decided a couple of days ago to drop off at least 20+ guppy fry at my local dentist, since they were interested in adding some to their at least 50 gallon tank. Most of the fry are at least 5 months old, and are very colorful. They are a mix of Blue Diamond and Yellow Dragon Head. A lot of...

Well, I usually keep the water at around 78F (25C). She still seems to be ok, but now hiding in the ornaments as well instead of just in the corners.

Sorry for the late reply! Her last drop was only a couple of weeks ago. (1-2) She seems to drop every 3 weeks max. It seems very unusual, but it's true...

She looks nowhere near dropping to me... She is also thinner than she usually would be before a drop, even though her gravid spot is dark and quite noticeable. And even when pregnant, she was at least a bit more active.

I don't think this is severe, but my female guppy has been hiding in corners recently, and from the looks of it, she's spent her time sleeping... It worries me though, because she isn't noticing/eating food as often as before. I have put her in a breeder trap just to try to calm her down, but I...

Guppy Fry, mixed (there are over 16 of them, I just couldn't get a clear shot) Erin, Female Yellow Dragonhead Guppy Skye, Male Blue Diamond Guppy Rosy, plain female (looking at the fry tank :fun:) They aren't the PRETTIEST guppies I've seen, but I love 'em! :D Edit: sorry for the...

They look very..... startling.....

Alright, thank you! ^_^ Ok. I did see them peck at some of the finely crushed flakes that I put in. :)

Well, I wasn't expecting fry for another week or so, (my female was even far from squaring off) and lo and behold! Fry! I've found 13 that have survived, which is a pretty good number in my opinion. They are in one of the floating guppy breeders (plastic). I just have some of the typical newbie...

I was wondering if I could feed grubs (like June Beetle grubs) to fish or not. I do not know how dirty they are, how messy, if they are fatty, or if they lack in vitamins and minerals or not. :/ Has anyone attempted to feed grubs to fish? (not like Cichlids or anything like that, but community...

I think it's called the shimmies, or shakes. It's caused by the water lacking in electrolytes. I don't know if you can get it or not, but there are 2 "medications" (because this is not actually a disease). There is Molly Bright or Shimmy Blocks. Hope this helps! :nod:

Okay, I might try them again.... :lol: But 3 max. Wow! They do look alike! I also used to have the exact same avatar as you... :blink: I could go with one of those instead of an Oto... I'll check them out.

Don't those all require at least 20 gallons or more?
