Sorry just posted this question but think I have put it in the wrong topic, I have just bought some online and they have thawed out, will it be safe to refreeze them

Oh thanks for that, it has made me feel a lot better, he seems fine now and swimming round thank goodness so fingers crossed he will be ok

Yeah will do, there is about an inch gap between the water level and the lid now but i am going to lower the level a bit more now to lessen the risk of him jumping, will get a glass lid cut to the size of the tank ASAP

Oh that's good then, i thought he might be uphappy if hes jumped out, he was laid on the bottom of his tank a minute ago and as soon as I went up to the tank he swam to the the top, this is a warning to me now to get another lid what's fits really snugly at the top instead of leaving any gaps...

Thank you, he's still swimming around, I will have to get another lid what doesn't leave any gaps, it is a glass tank but a plastic lid, there is like a 1cm gap around the tank not covered by the lid that's all, how has he got out

Thank you I have just done that, he seems so happy in his tank, does it mean he's unhappy or is this just something they do anyway, he his in a 25 litre fully cycled tank with heater, filter, temparature is at 82 degrees, do you think he will be alright?

Ok thanks, my dog was sniffing him on the kitchen floor, he hasn't hurt him he's a good gentle boy, my fish is still swimming, I just hope and pray he will be ok, am so attached to him

I have just found my betta fish on my kitchen floor, he has fell from the worktop, I really don't know how it's happened, I am in shock, there is the tiniest gap on the lid on his tank so he must have got through it, I immediately put him back in his tank and he was very stunned but he's...

Thanks for replys, will get some metaflex and treat him

Hi everybody, when I checked my betta earlier i noticed that he has torn his back fin a bit, he is fine in himself and eating well, the edges of his fins were it his torn looks a bit frayed but no black edges, would it be best to treat for finrot to be on the safe side or would you see how it...

He's going in a 45 litre aquarium, I would have liked to have gone even bigger but am limited for space, at the moment he's in a 25 litre, yes I will post some pics when all set up, hopefully I will be sorting it out over the coming weekend, will test regularly and do necessary water changes

Thanks, will do.

Hi everybody, I am transferring my male betta to a bigger aquarium soon and taking some media from the filter to kickstart the new filter, what I wanted to know is when his new tank has reached the required temparature can I put him straight in his new tank or will I need to wait a few hours...

Thanks I have the api liquid master testing kit so will test regularly and do water changes as necesary

Yes that is one of the reasons I got the stingray because of the low flow rate, will keep it as a spare just in case and will take the tiny little sponges out and put them in my new filter, tanks

Thank you, will do that then, I must admit the new filter is much better than the stingrays and you do get a spray bar with it so will do that, thanks again

Hi, I have a fully cycled 25 litre aquarium with a single male betta in but have bought a 45 litre aquarium for him because I feel like he will benefit from more space, I have a stringray 5 filter in my 25 litre which is for up to 25 litre aquariums, I have a new filter with my new tank but was...

Brilliant i know what I will be doing over the next few days.

Thanks, I have a 25 litre with a single male betta and it has been fine on my worktop but I have just bought him a 45 litre new aquarium and didn't know if the worktop would hold the weight.

Hi, can anybody tell if a 45 litre aquarium would be ok on a solid kitchen worktop?

It's not a dragonfly nymph is it, it looks very similar to one i had in my aquarium and I took pictures of it and showed my local aquatic shop, they told me to take it out the aquarium quick because it would eat my baby guppies but I had already removed it anyway.

It's a hagen stringray filter for aquariums up to 25 litres, I know they haven't got good reviews but I have never had any problems with them to be honest, I did take some media from the filter in my 90 litre aquarium to put in the stingray and my aquarium was cycled really fast so will do that...

Hi I have a fully cycled 25 litre aquarium and I am buying my betta a 45 litre aquarium, you get the filter, heater etc with the new tank but I wondered if the filter out the 25 litre would fully support the 45 litre instead of having to use the new one, i have the 1 male betta on his own so...

Oh thank you, He explores every part of his aquarium so am hoping he will be happy and do the same if I buy the bigger one, I would like to go even bigger for him but already have 2 big aquariums and unable to put him in with them, I have thought of that option but the fish i have are not...

Hi everyone, I have a male betta on his own in a heavily planted 25litre aquarium, he seems very happy and no concerns about him but I have seen a 40 litre aquarium which I wanted to buy for him, what I wanted to know is would that 15 litres make a big difference to him for space or would you...

Thanx will still test daily then and do water changes as necessary

I have just took about 10% of media out my aquarium and put in my new 25 litre aquarium filter, would you still test daily for ammonia and nitrites and do water changes depending what results are?

I have 10 tetras, 3 platys and 5 corydoras in at the moment, some baby platys but they are going to my local aquatic place soon so won't be in the aquarium for much longer, I will take 10% media out and place it in my small tank, my betta is doing fine and I am testing his water every day and...

Hi, it is a fluval roma 90 litres, would 10% make a difference speeding up the cycle in my smaller tank?

My longest aquarium has been running for 5 months now and fully cycled and water stats are spot on, I have a 25 litre aquarium with 1 betta in, if I take some filter media from my established aquarium will it cause any problems and has it been running long enough to be taking media from it, also...

Thank you, that sounds a better idea and a lot less hassle,I will sort it out tomorrow, my tropical tank is well cycled now.

I did wonder if this would be a better idea, I would have to section it off though as I have about 20 baby guppies about a week old so I think he would eat them, will decide what to use to section part of the tank off, I have a cple of balloon mollies, 2 female guppies and a male guppy with a...

Yes I am in the UK so doubt whether I could get one of those, sure somebody will advise me of another good one, thank anyway

Hi, I have a male betta in a 25 litre aquarium, at the moment I have a sponge filter in his tank, just wondered can anybody recommend an internal filter what won't be to strong for him or tear his fins.

Haha oh well we can't be good at everything, I have just cleaned my 2 big tanks out and done a big water change on the smaller one with my betta in as its cycling still and showing 0.25 nitrite today , i bought some seachem prime so put some in the new water, he's quite a little character

Oops trust me.

Hello everybody, just introducing myself to this forum, I have recently bought a betta for my 25 litre spare tank, I only put him in yesterday and so far so good, he's eating and seems quite inquisitive, I will try and post some pictures of him when I learn how to, I also have a 90 litre...
