yes. some people keep buying fish from there because of sympathy... well if you guys dont then obviously they may decide to change policies to get the sales. long term it should be good for the fish

i had one a day or two and names it mortis, the one i got now is called chaos

mine survived during temperatures of 90f although it was prob abit more but that was the highest my thermometer scale went. are you sure that your friend didnt actually do anything wrong that killed them? other people that i know of who have fish didnt lose any pets... sorry about your fish

nice of you to save them two. but after reading many posts in this betta section alot of the ones bought from wal mart or big corporate stores were done on sympathy... could this be what is actually making the stores still sell them as poeple like you who want to give good homes to poor fish...

i voted red as my bold but kool betta is red. named him chaos foe his aggressiveness but he is wicked. havent seen any other colours apart from red and purple really... sure others will look nice too

yea the answer is: go away

plz help on what book you have and what is rated highly amongst fish owners... links to sites that sell or any other description would be helpful.

well i may have read that some bettas prefer to be alone, but i only have one tank and put it amongst other fishes... its only been here for 3 days and still stays in the plants. the same thing happened with my male swordtail where he would only stay in plants, but he now swim everywhere :) btw...

fotm nomination, he's funny and cool

can i ask why then does my lfs not use the same theory of 1 inch per fish? they have loads in their tanks and said i could have 30 live bearers (same size as the ones in the shop)! my tank is only 15 galons btw...

just got one today and it is dark blue with a lil hint of red on its tail near the body. the shop had no other colours and i wanted a red one. my local pet shop keeps the bettas in a bag in the community tank so its very shy and seems not o like swimming as it just relaxed on the bag before i...

i now have 5 cardinal tetras, 1 bettas (really shy) 1 more female guppy, 1 female mollie to the tank.

the nitrite is 0.3 ph 8 gh 23 kh 14 soz i have a crap test kit and therefore cant get any more details. i put the tetra in a net and its still in the tank but can not move still although its still breathing. the other 5 are still alive btw so i doubt its the water conditions (i am aware...

well i just bought it and wen i put it in the water it kinda didnt move, it still moves the fins and breathes but floats around unside down or anywhere because it doesnt have control. is it paralysed or will it be able to come back to how it was? i am thinking it got squashed in the bag...

i have 2 mollies, 3 swordtails, 2 guppies, 2 angels, 3 platies, 1 red tail shark, 1 pleco (not sure what one) 2 cories (not sure what ones). will add a bettas tomrow which i really look forward too although pretty scared it might kill other fishes... my tank is really small but as i have only...

i got new fish today too, 3 platies, 2 lil cories, 1 pleco, 1 female swordtail and 1 red tail shark. happy too mate. yea someone adviced me to get ottos too, great fish i suppose.

have you got alot of lighting on? my algae grow pretty fast as i have the light on for atleast 12 hours a day...

i am with kossy, guppies are cheap and using pufferpacks for food is probably offensive. you cant be that poor that you can not pay for a few guppies??? and i expect puffer to pay for shipping etc? lol what a joke

i took up both of ur advice and the wood not only floats but bubbles constantly so i gave up... decided to buy one from the pet shop. looks real good too

ty for that advice. well i bought a piece of wood i saw in a fish shop and it says mopani decorawood. i am not sure if this actually helps reduce the gh??? if the cardinals can survive in fairly hard water then well i guess i dont have to reduce the hardness then. gave up trying to treat a...

yea i guess its goin to be hard but appreciate it whatever you do.

i cant find the harness thread... well anyways i have a gh of 23 and kh of 13... it was 19 on both on the previous test. :o i was wondering what methods are there to reduce this? as i intend to get some cardinal tetras. :D i heard bog wood may help and think there are chemicals... i would...

welcome so anyone got any uk sites that sell a master test kit?

that is a class cave... i am definately gonna make a cave. a few peeps have asked why do you need to dip the stones in vinegar?

well it is a old piece of wood... but not rotten, anyway i am wondering if i can do anything to make it clean etc... and put it in my tank? if so what procedures do i need to do? i dunno what drift/ bog wood is like but surely i can diy it myself... for free
