The tank does come with a lid with what seems like about a quarter of a inch of room, so it should be alright with the jumping. Lid will have to be cut to fit the filter, though, so that’s a problem. If worst comes to worst, I can stretch aquarium netting over the top. I’m fine with extra water...

The gourami survived, he was just stuck in them and had to be detangled. Alright, I’ll use a air stone for the turbulence. Where do they sell bacteria supplement? I’ve never seen it in store. I use distilled, since my tapwater is too hard to support much of anything beyond cichlids and...

I’m trying to get a true giant betta. By this, I mean a betta that gets about 3-5 inches, is more peaceful than a regular betta, and probably a fair bit fatter than a normal one. Not king betta. Who sells them? It would also be good if you knew if this listing was actually a giant betta...

Awww, she’s so pretty. The female bettas are always so cute when you see them. I’ve ordered the tank. Actually, ordered two: I just found a site selling my dream bettas, Halfmoon koi. Have decided to add a Tiger Lily to the tank, since they don’t seem to grow enough to trap him. The other tank...

I’ll just use the filter media and substrate. I might add red root floaters, but my last gourami got trapped in them and almost died, so kind of wary.

I have a betta. He’s currently chilling in a 5 gallon, but unfortunately his tank is on a cabinet I need to move soon. I’ve ordered a fishtank that fits on my bookshelf that he can go in, but I’d like it to cycle faster so I can move him soon. How do I do this?

True. I have kept small tanks before, however, so I think I can handle it. He’s currently in a regular five gallon. Unfortunately that has to move fairly soon, as the dresser it’s on is going to be moved for a larger tank, so I’m finding tanks I can put him in on my bookshelf. Also, I made the...

Hmm. I’ll try it then. I really want a shrimp tank, it’s just that they’re conveniently placed snacks for all the fish I keep. Is your betta really passive? Or a former sorority girl?

Looks great! I know Petco sometimes sells these awesome Halfmoon Koi betta, so you can look into that. Or maybe a wild-type Betta Imbellis? That would look nice too, especially a spadetail. The butterfly betta look nice, too, along with black betta. If you want a lot of movement, the plakat work...

Alright!

Alright, I’ll look into getting a rimless 5 off FB. They do sell a 6 gallon bookshelf, but I’m not getting that unless I absolutely have to because it’s 90 bucks and doesn’t have much extra space.

Oh, it’s not a kit. I’m setting it up just like a normal aquarium: hang-on back filter to keep the zen, but not much else beyond the heater, lid, plants, and maybe I’ll try to work a cave into the design somewhere. Probably Cascade 20 filter, maybe I’ll go up if that’s too little? I’m really...

It’s not really a “real” iwagumi: I’m planning to copy this guy’s setup. Except without carpet seeds: probably I’ll use dwarf hair grass, maybe Monte Carlo if I get a co2 system. The floating plants thing…I actually consider them hazards in betta/gourami/any other air-breathing fish tanks...

I’m finding aquariums to do a iwagumi aquascape in, and 3 gal bookshelf looks best. It’s about 18 inches long, and 8 inches wide, but really short…only 7 inches tall. Is it suitable? I know the minimum for bettas is 5 gal, but a 5 gal is shorter than it in length, so I think he’s got more...

I didn’t actually take a picture of it, but it looked a lot like this. Just grayer, with shorter fins.

Are you supposed to stagger the water changes over a week?

I’m looking into re-aquascaping my betta’s tank into a iwagumi-style scape, and also preferably being able to run CO2 to other tanks. It seems good-quality enough for the price, but I don’t want to buy a expensive regulator and end up with it breaking a month in. So does it rust easily, or dump...

Wouldn’t adding too much water at a time just kill your fish?

Anyways, I’m planning the sorority so far, and I’m trying to find a filter low-flow enough to be fine in a sorority. I’ve used Cascade before, and it worked fine, but I’m not sure if it would be peaceful enough for a sorority of bettas, plus whatever dither fish I end up going with. Both of...

Ah, dang it, and it was so pretty! I figured that since he was such a well-known YouTuber and hadn’t, you know, been attacked by the YouTube comments, that the fish were good somehow…dang it. Oh well, I’ll plan it some other way. Would the actual scaping still work for a betta sorority? It is a...

Was at Petco the other day, and, as is customary, I checked out the bettas. One awesome halfmoon koi, one black orchid betta with a swim bladder problem, many mislabeled metallic betta, and some strange little white babies…average stuff. Then I saw this weird little green/blue betta, plakat...

I found this on YT. Anyways, I love the look of the tank, but I’d rather not have the overstocked betta setup. How could this be sized to a 40 gallon breeder, equally heavily planted, with little/no overstocking? I’m planning to basically copy his heavily planted scape. It has female betta...

Ooh, mind sending a picture of one?

Oh, I don’t already have the sorority. Just planning. Trying to scope out opinions of bettas to keep in it, what kind of dither fish…lotta stuff. I have seen some long-lasting harem tanks on YouTube, but none of them are particularly pretty and the male draws attention away from the females, so...

Yeah, I’d say no. If the Oscar is big enough to swallow them, sooner or later it will. If you love schooling fish, I’d suggest maybe getting a truly massive tank (Over 100 gallons, most likely over 200 with this setup) and looking into getting tinfoil barbs. They’re big, fat fish, about a foot...

Hang on, are you talking about Betta Imbellis or true wild Betta Splendens? I don’t think I’ve ever seen the wild betta Splendens sold, but I do see fairly regularly betta Imbellis, and they’re always nice-looking fish. As for the other points…can’t really say much, because bad genes is...

Yeah, they’re absolutely gorgeous. All those long, ruffly fins…all prettiness comes with a price, I suppose, as can be demonstrated by fancy goldfish. Maybe it would be fine with females? I mean, they’re short-finned…or maybe not. Guess that’s one type to nix from the sorority. Edit: just...

I’m looking into getting a betta sorority. Anyways, this has meant obsessively googling every betta type known to man. Just stumbled across a picture of a feathertail betta, plus a little info below, and it said the tail could hurt them. How? They’re beautiful fish, and it seems to be a...

Yeah, they’re controversial for a reason, I agree. Honestly, in retrospect, it probably would have been a way prettier tank with black neons or something like that. But they’re really sweet, personable, individual fish, and I’m at least fairly sure they’ve recognized me as their owner. I would...

Maybe, but fish aren’t always happy to see different-looking fish, and the glofish are insanely different. They might not even recognize them as the same species. Or pick on them. I wouldn’t want to risk it with them. Then, you see people keeping black and regular kuhlis together, despite being...

It would be a 20 long without the betta portion, so…basically a 29 gallon tank, but shorter. 30 inches long, 12 wide, and 12 high. I’m not sure the tetras are truly black skirts, though, since I’d say they’re more like 2 inch fish than 3. My dad said it would be fine, but he’s a really old fish...

Alright, I can probably find a 30 gallon tank stand. Gourami was a stretch anyways. And as for the glofish…my dad brought them for me a year ago, and I love them. They’re adorable, they come to the front of the tank for food, I’ve trained one to leap out of the water and take food off my...

So I’m planning a 15 gallon exclusively for glofish. Currently I’ve got about five glofish tetras and one pristella glofish, who I got as a regular glofish tetra and only realized like a year later that he was a pristella. The stocking would probably be six of each type, plus a dwarf gourami as...

Wait, they’re that shy? Aren’t they cichlids?

Just curious, since female betta generally aren’t as aggressive as the males.

Have you ever posted them on the platform before? Or for that matter, any other forum?

The only reason I can really see anyone getting those particular ricefish is them being blue-eyed.

That’s a sale price for…three fish

Yeah, they do that for most fish from what I’ve seen. I found the website that was selling them for a lot, too, and they’ve taken them under super faked photos. https://aquaticarts.com/products/pearl-medaka-ricefish
