I have actually been really lucky with my house's community tank (5-6 roommates - one large tank lol). Originally it had my five betta females and one large black skirt tetra, a guppy and a other tetra(not sure which type). It now has about 4-5 danios, a number of feeder guppies, a fancy guppy...

I have 2 veiltail males, Shiney and Charlie one rosetail male, Noble 4 females (unsure of tail type), Malicious, Blue, Chunky and Sour Puss this is Mal and here are the other 3 (yes they are in with 2 fancy tail male guppies but i've never had a problem with them) 1 crowntail female, Micah

He might also just be HM geno (which means he has the potential to sire halfmoon babies even if he doesn't show the full 180 himself)

Most of my bettas are kept in 1 gallon fish bowls, but I do have my one male who is a chronic fin eater and he is really happy in my little 5 gallion mini bowl, with some softer plastic plants (so fins don't rip) and i don't usually have the filter on, it is there with a peice of plastic to...

I think rosetails are a "subset" of halfmoons and deltas, it just depends on how many branches their fins have at the end. (right everyone?)

truth be told there isn';t much of the fish left to examine (essentially the backbone, some ribs and a bit of the skull are all that's left :blink: )

I have a 30 gall community tank that my four females bettas have recently been introduced to. They were fighting too much amoungst themselves in my 10 and we had lost a bunch of fish in our community tank due to a crayfish (which is no longer there btw) I was sitting watching the girls swim...

Is that a male in the tank with her?

So we have a crayfish in our university house community gallon. Don't know what type of crayfish it actually is, that was an earlier post :P (it's browny/red with blue claws). Anyways my roommate after a discuss how to keep the rest of our fish in the tank alive, decided to go to the freezer...

I'm pretty sure rosetails can be deltas and half moons, i have a rosetail - mine you he ate his pretty little tail - grrr so i can't show you. And he was definately a super delta. The rosetail is just how the edge of the tail is - like a crowntial.

well i got a picture of it it's about 3-4 inches long

I recently set up a 20 gal tank in our living room and my room mate bought a lobster for it. it was at the pet store and the pet store employee told it was a regular lobster (as opposed to a blue lobster)..... what is that? does anyone know? It's browny/red with some red and dark colour markings.

those are bettas that she's bred :P

hmm.... reason i ask is i have a cute deep red/purple with light blue irridense rosetail boy and a blue crowntail girlie and i was looking at each other and he was making a bubble nest for her and i was hmmm. :P link to rosetail pics http://www.bettysplendens.com/articles/pag...p?articleid=984

Hey guys i was just wondering has anyone seen/ever heard of anyone doing a rosetail x crowtail cross?

so if it's a male, is it a plakat crowntail?

So i was at teh fish store the other day for an exam study break and i ended up coming home with this little...girl ? guy? The people at teh petstore sold it to me as a normal female but it's clearly a crowntail so now i've been trying to figure out if it's a female with no oviposter yet or a...

it really depends on the personality of your fish and your shrimp. I had a few last a really long time until my female evil decided to kill all but one. And he lasted for a good few months after that, he's fight the females off at dinner time. But it's only a 5 gallon, my friend who has a 10...

I have a ghost shrimp in withmy females and they get along fine. The shrimp actually fights the females for food, it's really funny

He passed away :-( I had just changed the water on saturday, so it was pretty clean, i used tap water condition and cycle. I don't think anything weird got into his water, his bowl is right beside my computer and his tank is fairly water, i had a lamp over it. I just moved back into my...

temp is room temperature, they're not heater (can;t afford one) He was in a one gallon, but i moved him to a 1/4 gallon with low water to help him breathe a little. i didn't test for ammonia, mainly because i can't. he's passed away :( thank for teh help

Help! My little crowntail that i've had for a a few months is really sick/ acting really strange/struggling to breathe. He's lying flat on his side on the bottom of his bowl breathing very heavily and when i moved the bowl he just kinda flopped over to teh other side. He's looks completely...

Sakura and Ino Rei and Asuka Pacifica and Atlanta it might help if we had some colours to work from :)

There all so cute, i love the fish with the metallic highlights :P

well it depends if you want to be an agricultural fish keeper or just a tropical one. I go to Guelph, and they have aquaculture courses and marine biology courses, course it's a university not a college.

i have a ghost shrimp, i had several in my tank originally but my one female Evil killed most of them but this one survived.

I'm a little confused to what you're asking. I have 4 males, and 3 females. And a shrimp who lives with the girlies :P He jumps on their back if they get too close :lol:

This is my crowntail,

sorry for your loss :( But how long were you gone for?!

the pet store i got to near guelph gets mostly red and blue guys, although most of them look like combtails rather than veils, they also have a lot of marbles and cambodians. BUt they have a farily decent supply for crowntails, dts and deltas with a few females every so often.

I have an ocd tail biter, i've switched him from big tanks to small, current no current, high traffic low traffic, beside males or females to being by himself. And he stills bites his tail :X, he;s my rose tail too so he had a really pretty tail. So i guess maybe try moving him different...

MAybe should get your water tested Synirr? Do you live off a well at all?

Actually one of the first year bio courses at my friend's university had bettas fighting each to look at territorial instincts, etc. It was only supposed to last until they actually started fighting but like always there are a few dimwits know let it go on :grr: . I've however seen my one...

Awwww, no rosetails :P i voted crownies

Arent you getting a tad ahead of yourself? -_- Counting the eggs before they hatch kinda thing.

this is the betta board...so most people here have bettas.

Is he a marble? My marbel charlie has a black spot on his head that looks very strange, is it something like that?

i feed my monsters :lol: hikari bio gold pellets mostly, and they get about 3 twice a day each, my girls get a little less. They are the most complete food out there i find, and they are one of the few fish foods that have an expiry date on them!! (so often fish foods are fed past their shelf...

Sorry to hear about your boys :sad: I agree it has been a bad week for bettas, my little multi-coloured mutt girly died yesterday :( she too of a mysterious illness :-(
