I rotate flightless fruit flies and color flakes, with frozen brine shrimp once a week.

I usually bury my fish. Not for any particular reason, per se. Although when I was little I made a mini graveyard in the garden containing my dead fish and all the dead insects I found in my kiddie pool..... I was a weird kindergartener.

Interesting! Thanks for everybody's help. My LFS isn't picky, I suspect they would take them pretty young- however, even breeding the bettas is a far, far away dream that will probably wait until I'm older/have more tanks to use. My original intent was just to see if a betta sorority was...

Good point! I was thinking I would just take them to the pet store, though I'm not familiar with how old the fry are when they reach that point.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of varied opinions on the topic. I'm totally ok if it isn't a good idea, just thought it might be something to try. And I would definitely not put a male in with the females, the tank is way too small for that 😂

I would only keep females in the sorority.

Cool!

Hello, my fellow fish nerds! I currently own a male betta (and have joint custody of another ) and I absolutely love them. My father, @WhistlingBadger, has a 30 long that is currently a paludarium, but it is a possibility in the distant future that he might upgrade his setup into a 55 gallon...

This is my 5-gallon betta tank. It's been set up for eight months. Critters: 1 Male Betta Splendens, named Musa 3 Amano shrimp Assorted assassin snails Plants: Java ferns Java moss Clover fern Crystalwort dwarf sagittaria Assorted crypts Floating fern Amazon frogbit I don't use any ferts. My...

Aww! I love them all :wub: This is Bug. She's a rescue around thirteen or fourteen.

I have been struggling with that myself. I am waiting for my plants to grow in, and then see if I like it better. But I think your tank looks great! Although, If you are really unhappy with it, might I advise trying a black background... I just use black construction paper. I taped some to the...

I'd love a tank big enough to have a really large betta sorority! I've also always wanted a reef tank with an octopus, but that would be a whole other level of complicated...

Welcome! What are you thinking for your first tank?

I like the horizontal better, but they're both excellent.

Nice catch!

They're so beautiful! If only I had more tanks! Or spaces for tanks. Or money for tanks.

Yeah, the author answers questions that people ask him on his website. Some are longer than others...

@JuiceBox52 It's called What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. It's hilarious!

Just got back from an all-day Band Festival, now rushing off to a ball! I'm tired but excited.

@Rocky998 This was my best effort at a non-blurry photo.

That should be on a calendar!

I'm his daughter! 🤣🤣🤣

And peeps!

That was also a fun article. The white cloud mountain minnows look off, somehow... ;) The person who wrote this supposedly has a bachelor's degree in animal science. I have my doubts.

Yesterday was a big aquarium day for me. I redid the decor on my 5 gallon betta tank, got a new betta, and started setting up a ten gallon in the living room. The new betta is younger than most pet store splendens, but I still think he's gorgeous! He's a blue mustard gas. For this ten gallon...

So they're stunted yet eat large fish... Large compared to what?

Congrats! Such a cute chicken :wub:

Oh my goodness I love it so much 😌

I have one of those!! Don't know if it's real, though. One of the vendors at a craft fair gave it to me for free. Probably not.

Yes. It is very much a thing.

It's kind of like a cow.. Song of the Cebu

Veggie Tales! The Song of the Cebu.

Sometimes you don't feel like going on a multi-mile hike to the pond for fish food ;) The pond isn't road accessible, so you have to walk up a canyon to get to it. And the trail is going to be icy and muddy as heck for a few months. also the pond is frozen over right now. I've been thinking, I...

This is our family cat, Bug! And since my dad refuses to accept ownership of her, I thought I would enter her. Bug is around thirteen years old (we don't know exactly) and her one saving feature is how fat she is. Bug was adopted from a pet shelter in the next town over. She was found as a young...
