Yes they would.. I emailed them a while back now asking if there were any laws and regulations for the safety of fish, and it turns out that there are.. so if you're not happy wiht the way fish are being kept, and its serious, like in this case, then they will actually act on your report.. go...

wow.. gorgeous boys!! maybe u could try adding some decor for them so they have somethin to chill out and hide in? maybe :D

It's good to know that there are rules for fish out there too :)

well he must be just over 3 years old now, cuz my dad had him for 1 and a half years, and the same for me. dad only got him for 75p lol

it really is amazing how much he has changed, looking back at old pictures!! My dad hadn't seen him since I took him away, and I sent a picture the other day and he couldn;t believe it. I just wish I knew what he is.. I've searched hundreds of fish shops thru out northamptonshire and just...

This is the old 90 litre tank, and as you can see, he's very small. And this.. is the newer 300 litre tank, and he's grown!! now about 12inches from back to nose, and about 3inches deep without including his fins.

Hey guys and galls! Hope you can help me out here.. I've got an I.D. crisis. My dad used to have 2 goldfish that he kept in a tank that was SMALLER than a Nike shoe box!!!! Disgusting I know. When one of the fish died.. I said to him (after millions of attempts) that he had to get rid of the...

Hey guys, REcently I've been getting really upset about how bettas are being kept in shops and sometimes in peoples homes.. So, I contacted the RSPCA to see if fish were actually covered under any legislation for their protection. They emailed back today, and guess what?!?!?! "Pet fish are...

dude! I've got them in my tanks.. they start out at one or two, then in a few weeks, there are absolutly hundreds of them. last count in a 22 litre tank, over 300! they lay eggs EVERYWHERE.. filter, filter media, plants, subsrate, anythin they can get to. if u can get rid of them, DO. they are a...

just to add somethin i was told once about a good way to tell the differnece between male and female.. when the fish f;ares, doeshe/she have an extra bit of gill cover under he chin? i.e a full "mane"or just on either side without the bottom bit. i was told if its full then its most likely male...

strange.. mine have done that before, i put it down to a noise or somethin spooked them a bit maybe? dont forget that sound waves are amplified under water, so any noise thats quite to u may be really loud to a fish. if hes ok now, maybe keep your ye on him for a day or so, but he should be ok...

I'm in love with tank 2!!! :drool: but I don;t have room either :( I just brought a CT boy from my LFS aswelll!!! *wishes she had waited*!

I had Fred in a 14 litre for a long time before I put him in a split tank to save on room ^^ he seem to enjoy it in there. :)

I've got divided a bow front tank (my boyfriend did it for me) He said that he thinks the best thing to use is glass. Get it cut to size by someone who knows what they are doing with it, then silicone it in all round the edges. That's if you wanted two seperate compartments totally. But if...

Deal :D

QUOTE (Sofia @ Feb 7 2009, 11:04 PM) IMHO the OP had a right to have a go, the first three responses were informative and useful but danni 69's response was negative, rude and unhelpful she should not have posted at all. she added nothing to the discussion, in fact she just caused controversy...

I use sand in my tanks, and the fish seem completely fine.. It's quite good for any bottom feeders *if u have any* :) just make sure u give it a good wash before u put the sand in to save gettin really murky water due to dust in the bag :)

I say let the OP find out whether you can or CAN'T(!!!!!) keep both males and females together.. If after reading all the topics and FAQs about NOT being able to keep them together, then STILL goes out and does the opposite of good, experienced advice and does it anyway.. Let him find out...

cool.. I'm looking for one of those fish that u look at and fall in love.. he's goin to be the forth in a 4 part tank, so he has to be somethin special :) ill keep lookin tho :)

hey guys.. before i start, i dont want anyone to take this post in the wrong way.. my opinion stands that every betta is stunning and individual.... now then.. down to business :P I've noticed that in all my LFS the only bettas that they get in *if any* are all really bog standard, i.e. red...

I kept Fred in a 14 litre tank and he was just fine.. seemed really happy. So I don't see why a 10 litre isn't good enough, as long as you don't overfill with plants so he has some swimming space, and don;t go any smaller for the tank :)

in my experience with having male fighters, i had no luck with other "fish", but htat could be their individual personalities.. Ive managed to keep otos, pygmy corys, amano and cherry shirmp, an apple snails in with my boys and they all seem to get on quite well :)

which shop is that?

are all those shops in the UK? *sorry if im being dumb*

(that word brings back memories of school ^^) puddle

snow (which they think it will do here next week!!!!)

Ok. so this room is dead at the mo, so I'm gona start a game.............. word association (cant spell) :D pickle...

not particularly.. i was tryin to give the OP some advice, and like in most of the other post i reply to my advice gets trashed.. so im gona stick to my guns this time.. to the OP i have otos, pygmy corys, cherry and aman shrimp and apple snails in with my boys, all seem happy healty, eat...

so why say somethin that could cause harm to fish? and like u said.. being a plec lover?

as far as i remember you suggested them but it was a while ago.. mine have lasted about 7 months so far with no problems.. same with the pygmy corys.. but hey ho..

didnt u tell me that otos were a good tank mate for Fred when i first got him? :blink: yeah ur best bet is to go with smaller shrimp.. one of the guys at one of my LFS said that bigger shrimp cold go for the fish if it swims past slow cuz of the colour or somethin ^^

mine are all perfectly fine with slow moving water.. none of them have ever died.. they make a nice edition to a tank that big with only one lil betta in it :P

In with my boys, I've got pygmy corys, amano and cherry shrimp, apple snails and otos.. Fred has only got the snails tho cuz he doesnt like other tnk mates cuz he's miserable lol.. love him tho ^^ the other two seem perfectly fine with the rest.. Miagi actually lets the shrimo clean him...

he's my tank :) only got 3 boys in it at the moment tho as Star passed on.. :(
