The only thing my little friend Bait does is cuddle. When I put my hand in to adjust something or for any reason, he will swim right up to my palm and wait for me to cup him in my hand. Once I do, he just kicks back and relaxes. He treats me like his own living hammock. Spoiled brat! -_- He acts...

I have 2 bettas. One is a solitary beast that attacks EVERYTHING. The other is a rescue from a dollar store. The rescued one lives in a comunity tank with two male guppies. He has no problem with them whatsoever. I think being near death and unable to fight when put in there might have something...

If you want a 10 gallon to save space on the footprint, you should be able to find a 15 H tank. It's the same footprint as a 10 gallon, but it's taller, adding 5 gallons. With a 15 gallon tank, you should have lower maintenance and be able to put in more interesting fish.

I have a dilemma... I have a custom tank and want to plant it, but the tank is an odd shape and level. It is aprox. 22 gallons... 24 in. wide, 24 in. long, and 8.5 in. tall. I have it set up with bottom dwellers like catfish and plecos. It is at about waist level with a clear Lucite top and...

Truth be told... I had never heard that real shells could alter the tank's PH. All the research I've done on getting fish tanks set up and that little fact seems to have slipped by me. Weird. Does it usually raise it or lower it? I don't want to have my Betta getting stressed out from too sharp...

That does make sense... Do you think the small hole could have been a previous injury that healed almost completely? I always thought it was weird. Anyway... I have several silk plants in the tank, but it was more likely one of two things... I have some pretty spiky sea shells at the bottom of...

I just looked in on my Betta a couple days ago and I noticed something that disturbs and worries me. There has been a small pin-hole in the dead center of my Betta's tail since I got him 4 months ago, but other than that, he has been in perfect health. In the past 4 months, the hole hasn't...

My 60 Gallon will be up and running this weekend... It's just finishing cycling. The large fish are going in there. The two feather fins will go in the 17 gallon with a couple of other small (3") fish. I'm getting another bala. And as for the tetras... Those are in my brother's care, and he...

OK... In the 10 gallon: 1 Feather Finned cat (4 in.) 1 Pleco (7 in.) 2 guppies 1 Hockey-stick Tetra 1 Red-Eye Tetra 1 Painted Glass-fish 1 Neon Tetra 1 Betta 1 Glass Catfish (2.5 in.) 11 Ghost Shrimp (Enough fish for 30 gallons) In the 17 gallon: 1 Feather-Finned cat (2 in.) 1 Pleco...

Actually... My custom 17 gallon tank was a terrarium at one time. I got it for it's size and dimensions. Fish I don't know too well, but I did a lot of research on how to build tanks, because I had a really cool custom one in mind. Here's what you do. Find out how thick the glass is on the...

I have a custom made 17 Gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank that confuse me to no end. I inherited the 10 gallon from a friend and it is doing fantastic, but the 17 Gallon is confusing me. The fish in the 10 Gallon seem to be growing at a break-neck pace, while the growth in my 17 Gallon is stunted...

Synirr, I know tis is a little off topic, but I saw the names of some of your fish... Some of those are quite Biblical... Thought you might like the name I gave my Bala Shark... Balial. I do like the perch though. I just got a 60 Gallon tank and I'm planning on making it aggressive. You...

My betta (Named Bait) is the weirdest fish I have. I swear he can understand vocal commands. Every morning when I get home from work, I open the flip top lid to his mini-tank and he looks up to see what's happening. I'll bust out the betta food, take out a little pinch and hold it above the...

I never appreciated Bettas, until I got my first one that is... :D I picked the healthiest one I could find to make it easier for me to learn how to care for them, but recently had a very sick one thrust upon me. I went away for the weekend and my mother had bought a very sick Betta from a...
