Do you think?? They are only small I had always worked on 1.5" of fish per Gallon = 9.75" of fish Betta = 2.5" Platys = 4 x 1" = 4" Total = 6.5" so I thought that I would be ok ??? Especially as I do water changes everyother day (from when we had the plec) and the tank has 2 filters...

towards Betta (SFF) ??? Does anyone know if Platys and a Male Betta will get along or are they like Guppies and are incompatible ?? Any thoughts please anyone ?? Thanks Jay :sad: :byebye: (For the Full story check the Betta section)

We have had a male SFF (Red betta) named Tyson for six months now and have been keeping him in a 6.5 Gal Hex (Heater/Filter/Airstone) A few months ago we were advised to get a Plec from the LFS to cure an Algae problem, so went out and bought a Plecostomus (only 4 inches long) which sure...

Anyone seen this type of stuff before ??

Hi Karen - Appologies for not responding to your last question - have been mad busy !!! What I meant by dont over do the water changes was ....... Yes, as The cichlidaddict says, water changes are the only measure to keep the water parameters at acceptable levels, but there are no hard and...

Update on the white stuff I got/added a plecostomus to the tank last night cos the LFS told me that they love the stuff Heypresto - woke up this morning and most of it had gone !!!! I cant believe how hard the little guy must have worked during the night !! Unfortunately this is only a...

Hi Guys ! Thought I would crash the party ! I'm the one in the hat (not in the shell - thats harvey the hermit) Jay

Hi Karen Setting up three nights ago was possibly too soon to add fish !! oops :crazy: It should take a bit longer than that as you need to get your filter functioning properly with the right ammount of healthy bacteria that will be able to convert any ammonia present into nitite (slightly...

We thought our dog was hanging out with the wrong crowd and had our suspicions confirmed when we saw this in the town ..... the one on the left is our dogs buddy who we thought was leading him astray Hopefully he spent the night in the pound !!!

Thats why we got him cos he was such a deep red Thanks for the compliments Guys Jay

I dont think you need a mirror - I have heard that a mirror backing to the tank can cause problems with stress levels in the Betta which is why I covered the backing of my tank with a backround!! He just seems to Flare cos he wants to ! Maybe he can see his reflection in the tank glass side...

Died with envy ????????? Looks alright to me ! :kira:

I dont know what it is but I too am getting the exact same stuff on my 6gal hex I only noticed it after adding some stresscoat and ammolock to the water recently?? I hopeyou find out what it is / if it is harmfull and I will monitor this thread to see what you find out Good Luck Jay

Here he is again ....

Here's another one of my Betta .... he seeme to like having his picture taken Do they usually turn their gill covers inside out and flare upat their own reflections in the side of the tank. He seems to only do this when I feed him (bloodworms) ??? I am so glad we decided to get a Betta...

:nod: I do hope so Like all creatures with a deformity (birth defects do happen in fish), they tend to get left behind in the shop as no one is prepared to give them a chance cos they think that they might die or have some disease that could be introduced to their tank. Unfortunately if they...

:cool: thanx for the help guys - I guess I am just being impaitent but the first tank didnt seem to take this long ? Maybe being a smaller tank has something to do with it ?? Bob - The nitrite has been high (10 - 15 mg/lt at present) for about 4 weeks now ? I thought that fish...

:thumbs: I have been carrying out a fishless cycle of a new secondary tank (11gal) and after 7 weeks I am getting the perfect ph reading, slightly high nitrate, but "OFF THE SCALE" nitrite levels ???? As the tank has yet to have any fish introduced, I am bemused as to how this can be ?? I...

Sorry to hear this ! I know this is a few days on now but to add my worth - Had you changed anything recently - New filter / heater / fish / plants ? ? ? We had a similar problem and it turned out to be a problem with a new combined heater/filter/oxygenator that had been added which caused...

:cool: Thanks for the Tip ! We will give it a go and try to provide some kind of planting / chill out area that the other male could call his own territory. I hope we have some luck or we may have to resort to looking to return him to the pet store as he seems to take a dislike to the...

Hi can anyone help or suggest any ideas We have had a Male Blue Gourami for about 3 - 4 years now and are having trouble with his aggression towards other gouramis in our tank (both blue and golden). To date he has already seen off two of his mates and is at the moment attemping to harrass a...
