Thank you. :) Where do you get play sand? :unsure: That's a dumb question, but I've never seen it anywhere. lol

Oh my, oh my! lol Even though I only have 6 tanks, I still spend a good couple hours doing water changes on the weekend. lol That is, if I can find the time after cleaning MORE aquariums at work! :rolleyes: I'm loving the set up, your aquarium room quite resembles what my bedroom looks like...

Thanks kindly, Inchworm. :) Unfortunately, I am a bit young, so I am not allowed to buy online, and also, there are no aquarium societies where I live. I have checked everywhere. :( I seem to be one of the only fish lovers/breeders in my city. The only hopeful source I can think of is this guy...

Hey guys. After a long wait, (more than 6 months, lol) someone is *finally* coming over to build the stand for the 57 gallon! :good: So, since I pretty much tried not to think about the tank, (because I would get even more impatient than I already was.) it is really a wake up call to find out...

Thank you very much for the kind response. :) I have decided to wait a bit to try breeding again, because once this batch is completely gone, I am going clean up the tank a bit, and put some molly fry that I brought home from work/volunteering in there. My parents won't allow me to set up a...

Thanks! Unfortunately, my parents won't allow me to buy things on Ebay. I guess I'll check with the Aquarium stores near my house.

Hey guys, okay, I must admit, my first attempt at breeding bettas, I was unprepared to breed them, and because of that, I lost many of my fry, and the rest really aren't growing properly. I don't have enough BBS eggs to hatch all the time, so the only live food they have is infusoria - and that...

Oh my! He is gorgeous!! Aly_starh, please keep updating! ;)

Wow, they are stunners! Can't wait to see them when they are even a little older! :drool:

I agree with everything llamalord305 said.:lol: Scared me a bit when you said "Oscar". I'd be way too distracted with a fish tank on my desk. That's why I don't do homework in my room, because that's where all my aquariums are. lol Nicely done. :good: -f_f!

Aurora, it's such a pretty betta name. :)

Oh okay, that's good. Aww, I love updates. I want to see them grow up. :sad:

Looking great! So you only have 13 left? :unsure: How large would you say they are? Mine will be two weeks old next Wednesday, I still have around 30 left.... I will post a spawn log soon... They seem to be growing really slowly though.... They are still TINY! :S Great thread! Can't wait to...

Thanks for the help. After I turned the temp down a little, they are doing a little better now. And I wouldn't lie about my water stats. They are as I said. 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, 10ppm nitrate, 7.5 ph. Thanks again, -f_f!

Aww! I'm sorry! :rip: I am going through similar problems with the rest of my fish. I hope the rest of your fish pull through! My prayers are with you! :byebye: Oh, and if you're still dealing with white spot, why not simply turn the temp up to 86F? I did that when I my rescued betta, Scooter...

Umm, I've done a couple water changes, but decided it was too risky at this age, so stopped a couple days ago.... The java moss could be helping a bit.... Live plants work wonders. I also have some duckweed in there. My theory is that it's some kind of parasite, because they seem agitated by...

Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 10ppm ph: 7.5 Hmm... :/

I'll test and come soon with the results. (And yes, it's a liquid test kit)

It's one of the smallest bowls I've seen. It disgusts me. -f_f!

I would love to post a pic, but my camera doesn't pick up things that small. :/ They look like normal betta fry... They just swim around a little erratically and quite obviously have a parasite.... But I don't know if I should treat them or not.....

5.00$ Canadian; Veiltail male, Scooter: 7.00$ Canadian; Veiltail male, Lousy Bob: (Sorry, I don't have a pic, he's at my friend's house at the moment. :/ ) 5.00$ Canadian; Veiltail female, Bella: (But I technically got her for free, because I got a 10$ trade in that day....) I love them all...

I'm sure he'll pull through. :/ Hope it all works out for you! :)

Hey guys. My betta fry have been free-swimming for 5 days now, and as far as I can see, I have only lost 3. (1 to a birth deficiency and the other two.... I'm not sure why, to be honest) Okay, well, they are in a mature 10 gallon tank with no filter and a huge clump of java moss. I feed them a...

I am finding your betta, Lotus, so stunning. Where in the world did you find him?

What's the plant growing on the wood on the left hand side?

Okay, or I could help you a bit, and you can make your own desicion based on pictures. Crowntail: Their fins are supposed to be like that... Halfmoon: Tails shaped like a half-moon... Plakat: Short fins, males look a teensy bit like female bettas... Veiltail: The type you almost always...

S'okay. :) Still would like to see him.

Well, if she is a younger betta, you should probably feed her twice a day, in smaller amounts. (A smaller bloodworm, for example.) I feed my betta fry a couple times a day in small amounts, but then again, they are only a couple days old, so it could be different since your betta is definitely...

What do you mean favourite betta? Like tail type? (Veiltail, Crowntail, Halfmoon, Plakat...) Or colors? (Red, blue, multicolour.....) It's all a personal preference. Personally I like white Veiltails, but that's just my opinion. http://www.petadvice.com.au/images/veiltail12.jpg

I'm sure he'll be fine with them. I'm keeping my male betta in a 10 gallon with 2 bronze cory cats, and a ton of livebearer fry. He doesn't bother one of them. :rolleyes: I would like to see some pics, though. :)

Oh wow, here where I live in Canada, you'd be expecting to pay minimum 80$ for a 3 gallon kit, that is, if it's completely brand new. Lucky for me, I found a 39 and 10 gallon that came with everything for only 100$. :)

Oh noo! :rip: Bless him/her! Well, I almost made the same mistake as you.... I fed a slightly cut up pea to one of my bettas, and it got stuck in her mouth. She almost drown, poor girl. :( But by distracting her with another piece of food, she managed to open wide enough to spit it out.

Thank you very much! I will make sure to do that. :) The fry seem to be eating, but only a couple of them.... I'll see how it all ends up in the future. Wish me luck! :good: Thanks again, -f_f!

Wow, cool! lol Yeah I have the same filter as you, only in black. :good: Actually, I have two.... :/ Anyhow, I love your set up, especially the gravel colour and the plants!!! What are you using for a divider? I live in Canada, and I can't find them ANYWHERE! It's driving me nuts! :blink:

Oh no! I hope it works out for you! Meth blue ruined a lot of my decor, unfortunately. Hope it doesn't ruin yours, and hope your bettas get well soon! :fish:

Thank you. :) They are completely free-swimming now, and I have tried feeding them liquid fry food, bbs, and dried microworms. (First Bites - is says on the ingredients that they're microworms)I really have fed them a little too much, but observed them after feeding, and they were eating. (Or at...

Hey guys. I couple days ago my bettas' eggs hatched, and the fry wiggled around endlessly. Well today, I noticed that many of the fry were out and about the tank, swimming horizontally. I removed the male, though I still saw some fry in the bubble nest. (I also dropped the water to 2 inches...

Looked like an arowana and a couple black pacus....

How old is Midnight, exactly?

Wow! Awesome thread! I can't wait to see what they look like when they are completely grown! :) :good:
