Beautiful! And how is he taking to the Fluval Chii filtration, it looks powerful :D

It is built into the aquarium on the back. It has a large sponge with two compartments for inserting carbon and bio max (which i did). Then there is a power pump with a tube. Water is suppose to come in from the sponge side and go out the right pump tubing. But i don't see any flow that it is...

Hi thank you for response. this evening i did a water change is i could smell the ammonia build up. Tomorrow morning i will make another. I am not sure what this filter is doing maybe nothing but spinning the water?

I guess no one would like to comment :(

I know this is drastic, but if your betta is in a smaller tank.. perhaps you can do a large water change and also wash through the gravel in a sifter?

Raise the water temp up to about 80F Remove Carbon and leave only sponge in filter Dose with meds one round Does for a second round and possibly a third round will do it whiles keeping up with the water changes as it directs you to do :) I think you want it to fall off the fish this is how it...

Here we are now. Yesterday night i setup my fishtank for the Betta, he is doing okay i soppose, except when the power filter is going he doesn't seem to enjoy it. Anyone else have a Fluval Spec any pointers on how this filter works? all i see it doing is moving water round in a circle lol.

I hope you enjoy :-)

Okay so I got my new betta and he's all setup in the Fluval Spec. But I noticed the pump it has is way too strong for him. Also I'm not sure how exactly its filtering the water. Its suppose to suck water from below the pump but all I see it doing is spinning theb water around in a circle. Any...

Alrighty. Sorry to hear will you be getting another? :rip:

Yep and it seamed so silent at thw store not a single trickle. Will post pics when everything is ready.

Cool stuff nice story and you have a huge heart aww. :yahoo:

wow that's a heck of a story sorry to hear that happened to you :( I wen't to the mall to buy a betta, but i didnt get it because some of the public transportation's weren't running. So tomorrow I will be getting it for sure. However i looked around and saw they had this aquarium for half the...

try API Fungus Cure? I believe also Melafix by API cures fin damage. I used it before on a platy fish. Works well.

So since i spent some time researching Betta's, I think I am ready now to make my purchase. But I have a concern question. Since I will be taking public transportation I will need about 1-2hrs to reach home. I understand Betta's are sold in cups, so I am wondering if i tell them to place it in a...

Thank you both for the us full information

do Betta's get along with Corydora's, and female guppies?

all so beautiful WOW!

wow stunning. and orange is my fav color btw hehe

Yeah I agree i think that is the reason why we see them in small cups. I found a local shop down the road. so i went in and they had all the males near the "wash & bag" station in the containers. But all the females were free swimming in the larger tanks with other fish such as tetras, barbs...

How come they keep them in cups with such small amount of water if they require 1-3gallons roughly? They don't seem healthy or happy for that matter. I know walmart has some too I may go check them out.

ahh okay, i will get a female then. Now is there anything else i need to know before selecting a healthy betta, what to look for?

Would it matter if i got a male or female? are females more aggressive?

Hi, I want to get a single Betta fish. What is the required minimum tank size to house one? I read 1.5-2gallons will do ?

I agree they may fight later on, I generally keep two of opposite sex. atm i have two pearl gourami m/f and they do chase one another but i think they try to breed hehe. Honey Gourami is very pretty fish too i like'em :) good luck!

Hi, here are a few of mines :-) Dec 2011 TFF

cool, what you get?

Sorry to hear, will you be getting a new one?

thanks. i know they grow so fast too lol.

This is today some pictures. The Oranda's were from my LFS i was just at they were going for $89! they were so cute when they came up to the surface with their puppy dog face :fish: The other are my current fish and my new 3 baby Panda CoryDora's I hope you enjoy :) Here are the Koi and...

I have seen them everywhere they are very common, they even have the Koi ones like that.

Perhaps he is speaking about Tiger Platies? these are red striped platies like a tiger. This is from Aquarist Classifieds, Tiger Platy. I don't think they are rare just like all the other platies out there they are all mixed with colours and such markings. i would just breed them with micky...

i have to admit although angelfish and guppies should not be together, i haven't had any issues with them at all. However this said i am going to be getting rid of my angels as they are out growing my tank. At the time i "adopted" them i was not aware that a short tank is an issue. My tank is...

I had a fry like this, the em brio went away after 24hrs tho.

the link to 5teady is here.. My link

The fish was found dead at the bottom of the tank. yes my angelfish do not bother my guppies at all never had a problem :)

Hi one of our fish developed dropsy. She is swollen, pointy looking, and her skin looks kind of translutant. She is eating and swimming fine still. Is there a chance for a cure? I understand this is caused by poor water quality. Qe do water changes every 7 to 10 days 50% which includes a gravel...

very nice. is this one of those breeder tanks that are long and wide but not tall? i have one of them too with 4 angelfish. but i am afraid my angelfish may outgrow the tank because the tank is not tall.

dark gravid spot means nothing on many fish. for example i have fish right now that have dark gravid spots and they are not pregnant ;) i recommend reading the post by 5teady. its all about behavior and shape imo.

convict cichlid , i don't recommend they are aggressive :S
