Yes i agree, and females can be kept together too, added bonus! although i'd need a bigger betta tank if i was going to do that haha

Thanks i appreciate your advice. I might put off the idea for a while, gain more experience with bettas and maybe think about it again further down the line, we'll see what happens :) 

those are amazing! i love the blossoms, very nice !

Hi, I'm new to bettas, having bought my first male yesterday. I'm more experienced in livebearers such as guppies and platys.    My betta is housed in a 25l bowl, undergravel filter, 50w heater (smallest i could find, couldn't get a hold of 25w) he seems pretty happy.    I'm feeding him ground...

Ahhh ok, i think i'll look into some aquarium salt, thanks!

would table salt do the job do you think? 

Yes thats so true! I think some employees need more training on fish and pets before giving anyone advice, it could be dangerous if they don't know what they're talking about.  All I'm hoping is now that the new male betta i bought from the same place yesterday (not the same tank) will be ok, he...

I don't really have a long standing relationship with this store, so i'm not really concerned about that. I think i'll buy fish from my nearest Pets at Home store next time, and to replace the now dead ones. Even though it is a pain to buy fish there as they give you 20Q and need details of...

Thanks for your help, ill do a water change with salt in the main aquarium. I took a look at the 3 females this morning and all are dead unfortunately, and so are the 2 males in the main tank!! I will be sure NEVER to get anything else from that store again.I just sincerely hope it won't affect...

I have a tank full of platys and guppies, a two or three guppies have died over the past few months due to old age. So i bought 5 new ones today from the lfs, 3 females and 2 males. ( ratio of all guppies in my tank are 3:1) in the lfs the males and females are kept seperately, i noticed after a...

I have no idea if it is her first drop, i only got her monday, the day before she dropped! the tank has been cycled, it has been up running for almost a year and ive had no problems with any other guppies or platys when they drop. the female seemed very happy and had no problems when i put her...

Thanks for your reply, turns out she wasn't about to give birth! She was just overfed at the time I think, she's fine now, I think she still has a couple more weeks to go. But I've got another question, my guppy female dropped some fry today, I'm estimating about 10-13 live fry, a few of the...

i don't think its poop, its been there since i got her and it doesn't disappear or get any smaller when she does poo! 

ahh ok thanks. although i think she's older than 3 weeks, idk. she's less than half the size of my adult guppies. i guess ill have to just wait and see!

Just over a week ago i bought a couple more platys and guppies. on the way home i found a guppy fry hiding in the corner of the bag (must of snuck in the net with one of the others!!) anyway the fry has a gravid spot, ive heard that a gravid spot doesnt always mean that they are pregnant, and...

Yes i will be cycling my tank before adding fish. im not planning on buying the fish for a few weeks so im just looking for some suggestions atm :)    i really like the sound of the neon green rasboras! they look pretty cool. and maybe some neon tetras?!

Hi, I bought a new platy just over a week ago, she was kept in a tank with other males at the lfs, i'd seen her at the lfs a week or so before buying her too so she must of been there for a few weeks with other males. since ive had her my male has been chasing her etc. and i have actually...

Im upgrading to around 165litres, i dont want big fish or anything just something different that can live happily with the others :) 

Hi, I'm getting a bigger tank this week and was thinking of adding more fish to my 4 guppies and 4 platys. Any suggestions on what fish would go well with these? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

BIG thanks!! :)

Thanks, im new to this so no idea how to start a new thread?!

Thank you, ill just look around in a couple of weeks to see if there are any fry hiding. I have a few plants so plenty of places to hide. Sorry for hijacking the posts but i have no clue how to start a new one?! New to this :)

Anyone know when my guppy will give birth? Had her for just over two weeks and she was already pregnant when i bought her. The pic is a little blurry but you can see the gravid spot

Can anyone help? I have 3 pregnant guppies, but one is closer to birth than the others. Very very sorry that the pic is blurry, ipad camera isnt very good. Can anyone tell how long this guppy has left? Bought her just over 2 weeks ago, she was pregnant when i bought her so wondering if it is...
