I got a new betta a few weeks ago, the tank is filtered and heating, I do 25% water changes every week, but my tank has been looking real dirty lately. There has been brown stuff getting on my fake plants, gravel, and some on the side of my tank. Not a whole lot but enough to annoy me. Also, at...

Great photos and great bettas!

Here's a cool drawing of a betta-

Few more pics of Mark:

Wow, great looking betta!

Give it a few days, they can be inactive and shy the first few days while adjusting to their new environments.

Yes they can but that's excluding the 6 cories and mollie you already have in there.

My new betta, Mark. Is he a crowntail? Here's a video of him- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCm-qgcjzyc&context=C39740efADOEgsToPDskIzFRncFHCwri8jR3M-N_3h

Hello, welcome to the forum! :hi:

What are some good quiet filters for bettas?

Here's a video of him- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCm-qgcjzyc&context=C3ea8211ADOEgsToPDskIzFRncFHCwri8jR3M-N_3h The filter kind of blows him around and his food when I put it in. It also probably won't allow him to make a bubble nest. Should I get a new filter or something? The tank came...

Got the betta earlier today, but the pet store did not have live plants in stock for sell, so tomorrow i'm going to run over to another pet store in town and get some live plants. For now I'm using some of my old fake plants. He is not doing much right now, just kind of resting at the bottom, is...

Alright, so can you just stick them in gravel too? You don't have to use sand?

Thanks for the replies. So do you just stick the plant in there, nothing else?

Tomorrow I'm going to be getting a new betta and I would like to know whether I should get live or plastic plants? The last few times I have gotten real plants, my tanks have gotten infested with snails so that's why I'm leaning more towards plastic plants. If I do get real plants which types...

They can but they should be in a filtered and heated tank.

Those frogs lived with my old betta and sadly passed away a few months back. :(

Okay I'm probably going to go with the 5 gallon since I don't have room for anything more. Anyone got any thinks to some cool betta tanks?

Ok, I may get a new tank as well, what would you consider a good tank size?

My rat, Lewis, had to be put to sleep yesterday. Vet thinks he had a tumor. R.I.P. Lewis February 6, 2010- February 18, 2012.

I've only ever had one betta and he died last fall (3 years old). Recently I have been thinking about getting a new one but was wondering how I can make his tank the best. I still have a 2.5 G tank that held my old betta. It had a filter, a few decorations, and some plastic plants. I know I...

Good name choice. :good:

Any other suggestions that the gourmi's would not fight with?

I think they may be males, I forgot what they told me back when I got them.

Ok thanks for the suggestions. Would it be fine to get other types of cories because I'm not sure if the pet store still has albino cories in stock?

I have a 20 gallon tank and currently have 2 albino corys, 3 dwarf gourami, and 2 platys. I would like to add some other fish (without overstocking) that will get along fine with the fish I have in there already. Any suggestions?

Ha I noticed that too.

I did have another frog but he died recently. :( Will think about getting another one though. And I'm pretty sure it's 20 gallon long. It's like this one-

Been playing drums for while, drum set,snare, and everything.

Saw some at the pet store and they were smaller then any other type of cory I'd ever seen, was it just because those certain ones were young or are they all like that?

My platys and gouramis always come to the top when I open the lid.

I have one ADF that I would like to add to my 20 gallon tank with 3 albino corys, 3 dwarf gouramis and 3 platys. Would I be able to without the fish bothering him? Plus he is also a picky eater, but in a few days my aqua glove should arrive so I can hand feed him with tweezers.

Cool, I've always wanted some discus so this will be a thread I will be checking back on.

Gives us a nice break too, lol.

Good news, he ate a little this morning. I'm going to try to feed him some more later today.

Read the thread, but I'm in the U.S.

I had a HUGE snail problem too about a month ago. I had to clean out my whole tank because there were so many. It was because of the live plants that I bought for it. But now that I removed them and I just have fake plants I don't know how they could of possibly returned, but they did. :/

You could do a discus tank, but it's for more advanced fish keepers, IDK how advanced they are.

Ok thanks, I've heard of that way before just never knew exactly how to do it. Will try it when I start to see more.

Anything else besides that? Not sure if they have those at my pet store.
