I'm so sorry, SuzieQ. There are no words.

A lot of bettas are about as inbred as they come. Males all have different behavioral problems of there own, females as well. I've kept mahachai fathers with their fry for months and still had a large number of males come out the spawns. But mahachai aren't nearly as overbred nor do they have...

I see what you're saying but only up to a point. The betta is designed to be alpha in all situations. I believe they have a nature to nurture their young, but they also have a nature to take out others of their sex, especially those that might step up to the plate. Male cats have been known for...

I've personally never agreed with culling because it's entirely too hard for the untrained eye to tell what a fish is going to turn out like as an adult until it's well over a couple months old. If you're heading for the show circuit, the small things like what has been called a 'spoon head'...

aww, you guys are sweet but Rosco's not nearly as into his 'looks' as I am. Although he does love bandanna variety..but still. We thank you but decline your kind offer for him to participate in POTM. He doesn't even like it when I call him cute, or give him the baby talk. :rolleyes: If I must...

I've said it before and I'll say it again- those fish live like kings and our betta can probably only dream of the care they get. With that said, I'm closing this thread because they always go nowhere. Sorry, nothing personal.

LOVE the polleni !

I agree. I had to join a dog forum not too long ago just because I couldn't see the pictures in the topics. I really had no intention of being part of their community, but...I'm a member now. Although inactive compared to some. Sure ,sitting around here talking about fish all day is perfectly...

With green water. That's basically it. They require very little care and even reproduce (albeit slowly) throughout the winter.

little round river rocks should do the trick. I didn't read all the replies so that may have been said already :blush: They also enjoy company of their own kind. I've had a few for years and they've been in numerous tanks. They started off living with huge cichlids then eventually (after...

He is a troublemaker and driving me batty at this very moment with the barking...THE BARKING. At me, at Harlie, at my rabbit...put him outside and he's barking and staring in the window. I wish he'd just take a nap :rolleyes: He is cute though, thanks guys.

wow, that was a huge bump! I took this tank down a looong time ago, for reasons I can't even remember :unsure: A friend took the corals. ETA~ Actually, I do remember now. It got really bad red algae and looked horrible.

The fish should have been fine without water changes and food for that long. The advice you were given was spot on. I am sorry for your loss, however. I'm curious as to his location in the house and whether or not he was kept warm enough.

well thank you both, I'll take it as a huge compliment from your husband. I know lab people :lol: Thank you too, Sugarqube. Merry Christmas, guys. I'm off to wrap presents. :shout:

too funny. That seriously made me lol. SuzieQ, this stinks and I'm sure you'll find a solution. I'm such a blunt mother and I'm disgustingly truthful, at times too much so. You could always say the chickens made a Christmas wish and went to live at the North Pole with Santa :hey: anyway...

:hey: not what I pictured in my minds eye, but oh the love!!! As you well know. Some dogs are just born to sport a bandanna... I brought that out today and his face lit up as though it was the part of his identity that had been missing :rolleyes: Thanks for the comments, guys. He's just...

I'm always lurking in the darkness, Gill. I find comfort here. :hey:

you don't even know how true that is! I wanted him to do sporty agility but I think he's going to go the herding route. He's not as impressed with a frisbee as I'd hoped he'd be but let a kid ride by us on a bike while we're out running and he's all kinds of fired up! I can't deny who he is. But...

it's the aussie in him. He has blue crescents. I wish I could get a picture to capture how stunning his eyes are, they're really quite spectacular!

I finally took the leap about a month and a half ago, and bought my lil puppy. His name is Rosco and he's now three months old, and he's quite a handful! :look: Here he was/is at seven weeks when we first got him.. and here he is now.. my future agility dog in 'training'...I use that...

aww, Gill! You know I love topics like this <3 Your tree is beautiful. So are the rest! And Sam..uhh, your MANnequin is...loverly? :hyper: I'd post mine but it's looking less than fantastic right now. Needles everywhere-ornaments in disarray...a 12 week old puppy + a real tree in the house do...

Locking. Take it to PM. to the OP~ I've known bettas to be lost in the mail for weeks in all sorts of weather and they've survived. Start a new thread when they arrive. This ones a mess.

I missed 95% of my trick or treater's last night, we were out trick or treating ourselves. When I got home I found that I'd been egg'ed. None of my stuff was destroyed, and the egging seemed to be done with hesitation. But I was flattered none the less!

That stinks, dane. What party poopers. I was a little concerned with thieves as well, that's why I kept it all so close to the house. Inch! You know I loves me some Halloween! The whole month went by so fast that I never even had a chance to put up my pumpkin avatar. But I think you've...

what's the dilly-o? We had our Halloween party this past Friday night and it was a hit The kids all had a wonderful time, it was fun. But exhausting! First up, my front yard.. My favorite purchase this year.. I got two of those guys. They bump, spin and cruise around the room. At...

That's amazing, CFC. Extremely impressive!! Your future decor plans sound amazing as well, can't wait to see the finished project. Knowing myself I'd throw a few clay pots in and call it finished :rolleyes:

I think pinning that would be a bit awkward, especially since it's most likely going to be locked if it takes an ugly turn. The delivery was just a bit...off. I've said my piece in that thread, and I will add that sometimes we forget what the board looks like through a newer members eyes. I...

Actually, I personally requested the ability to upload pictures here in the betta forum and I think it should stay as it is. The "look at my new betta" threads do not exactly take over this forum, and they do help to keep it active. Secondly, the "look at my new betta" threads are not...

thanks guys, he's just too cute and I've enjoyed the year. gobymaster, I *tried* to get an accurate measurement but he kept swimming away everytime I'd hold up the tape :rolleyes: But judging by the width of the tank- he's a little over 10 inches right now. Horns to tail. cc :wub: check your...

I think that as long as your lfs is good, or you find a good home- you shouldn't feel guilty at all. The fish (*especially loaches,tetras and guppies) don't really care about the hand that feeds them, as long as a hand is there at all. IMO :blush: With that said, my frontosa were rather jumpy...

Thanks! His horns look a little shorter compared but I think that's because they're always pressed to the front of the glass :rolleyes: (or it's just the angle). I just bought new lights yesterday and they're pretty bright, I don't think he's too pleased.

We adopted our dog from a Euthanasia Rescue a few years ago and she's just the most wonderful lil beastie ever :wub: It was odd at first because clearly this dog had a muddled background and I was clueless as to what it was, so I was apprehensive bringing her home. But now we wouldn't trade her...

it's the start up cost that's a killer. Live rock, water and pumps etc = cha-ching! And buying water for wc's stinks. But otherwise they're pretty cheap to feed. Cheaper than my fw fish anyway.

lol!! it is pretty gawdy...

trust me- I was scared at first. But it's not as hard as I thought :good:

Well, it's been a year, just a few days shy of it anyway. This guy has grown a LOT in that time, you can tell that he's much rounder :rolleyes: I laugh everytime I see that old pic in my avatar because he's soo much darker around the mouth now. The old pic makes him look like a shaven Homer...

amazing though it may be- it's most likely temporary. If the male decides he wants to breed, the females may begin to bicker with each other- or maybe not. Ya just never can tell with bettas, they're all so unique. Best wishes to your friend and his bettas :good: At least his situation is...

Weird. I've moved it so William can fix that someday. He sent me the code once a year or so ago but I didn't even know what the heck to do with it. There's still a FAQ pin started by me in there, William's was just purdier... :shout:

Thanks, but I'm still here daily. I just don't have much to say anymore. Not to mention the fact that I can't even sit down at the desk without my kid wedging her way in and taking over within minutes :rolleyes: with that said, I was drug into this thread unwillingly. I really don't see the...
