After careful consideration I moved one of my bettas into a tank with some white clouds and some female mollies (the mollies will be moving v soon to another tank). He had been in his own tank for quite a while and seemed quite depressed and didn't swim about much, unlike my other betta who...

No, Oohfeeshy is right, that's a chinese algae eater, not an oto. I have an oto in the same tank as you (hoping to get a couple more) and he has stayed small and very peaceful.

I'm not normally a big ornament fan but that looks great!

I also recently rescued a new betta from my local P@H - his fins were in tatters. The woman serving me did at least ask if I had any angels or barbs. He's now happily building his bubble nest in his new 2g tank and I think his fins are growing already.

I have two dogs and their hair gets everywhere - including my tanks. Think because they are always near the tank and their hair floats around in the air (the only way to explain how I end up with dog hair in the bath!) that it the odd one must get into the tank when the lid is opened for...

I really don't think that the money from this is going to solve world poverty. Otherwise, we should get rid of everything that isn't strictly necessary. You could give up the money you spend on your fish and send it over to some starving family in a developing country, for instance. There's...

Wow! That's pretty impressive, I didn't realise they could change colour THAT much.

Well, I'm going to get shot down in flames for this (and I didn't read round the above link in detail), but I'm not too bothered by playing around with genes. A lot of illnesses are being cured or better understood by genetic advancements and sometimes things are discovered by accident when...

Nice layout!

Nice, I like the rocks!

Wow - those are great photos, and just look at all the colours. Wow!

I agree with the advice already given. I introduced a new female pup to my 6 year old male Dal cross and it took a few weeks for him to accept her completely - he never hurt her but wasn't too fussed on having her clambering all over him, so I'd agree with the above advice not to leave them...

Just fish (and the doglets - I reckon they are training for kids though!). Kids in a few years maybe.

Yup -i'll just say Northern Ireland here, but haven't voted.

I remember when I used to work in a shop that unless we had rung it in the till at that price then it didn't matter - it's all just an invitation to treat.

Great pics - they are so clear.

Very nice - and my dog likes to lick the bottom of the tank too - but mostly to try and pick up any food that's dropped on the stand!

great photos! :thumbs:

Isn't she lovely - and she looks pretty darn comfy!

Wow! That white one is stunning :drool:

I have a small one for my betta and have no probs with it.

Have to say I agree with you here. I think you are messing with nature when you breed for certain characteristics that aren't common in the wild, so it's all a matter of where you draw the line.

Aw, she is cute - she looks quite big already at just 9 weeks.

Very nice!

Only been up to the grosvenor road place a couple of times - I actually got my betta from there - he was a bit tatty round the edges but I like him. THe place was absolutely jam packed when I was in so I didn't take much time to look around - they do seem to have a great selection though. I...

We had a pets at home down in Bangor but it has now changed to a Petsmart - but pretty much only the name changed. They do small complete tanks with light and filter for about £30. I just bought a 2.5g glass tank for £8 and added everything I needed.

Lucky you. I got two marbled mollies back at the start of december and they got fatter and fatter and I was sure they were pregnant, but then it seemed like it had been going on too long so I just thought they were fat! Then on Saturday I noticed they were looking much thinner but I couldn't...

Glad you found them. My mum can never see mine, even with her glasses on when he's right in front of her.

ooooh, pretty but strange. I like.

In addition to what I have I'd settle for a really big community tank. Right now I have a 10g and a 2.5 g for my betta and I don't have space for any more. If we move that will all be changing - the OH can't understand why I'm already checking out tanks and equipment and different fish so far...

I have an Oto and my tank isn't too heavily planted but I still lose him all the time - he's usually on the underside of something and I just couldn't see him.

Awww, lookit - aint he lovely, even though he looks mighty tee'd off in that last one!

OMG - I love Spunky - like me on a bad hair day!

I don't have one a the mo. I plan on upgrading when we move this year and then I'll either turn my ten gallon one into one, or get another.

Google search to find info on bettas and I haven't looked back. I don't post much as mostly I've been researchng so far.

I have that plant in my betta's tank too -although I trimmed a few stems off it as it's only a 2.5g tank. Nice lookin fish you got there.

I have a little Oto that keeps my tank spotless. He's very peaceful.

My spelling on forums sucks - I get the right letters but in the wrong order cos I'm trying to type so quickly while my boss isn't looking!

THis sort of thing is very frustrating, and I think it is because a lot of employees aren't very knowledgeable and are just happy to make a sale. The companies are happy enough if it all goes wrong - they know they people will be back to replace the fish they lost. I prefer to stick to the...

Ugh!
