I turn the light off for the night. I have the light on from the afternoon 'till I go to bed then I turn it off so I can rest and so they can rest. I've noticed Harry's (one of my Bettas) water has been much wamrer since I turned the light on for him. Same with Toby. Sushi's water and Melody's...

*drools* Thats a BEAUTIFUL betta!

Awe, thanks. Actually, I think I act maturer then most 11yr olds. Of course, I may be snappy at times but I'm going through emotional breakdowns right now. And so what if I said 'So There'.....? x.x I know I may not be as smart or experienced or mature as you guys because I'm fairly young and...

Listen, I did not post this to get lectured on the right tanks again. Okay? The reason I bought these fish is because I wanted more Bettas, but I didn't have enough money to buy two new tanks. (But, thanks to you guys, I've realised that I might be able to head over to the dollar store to get...

B)-->QUOTE(Lynda B @ Jul 6 2007, 07:05 AM) 1681149 You can get really inexpensive 3 gallon bowls at just about any store, maybe even at a dollar store. Get a couple of cheap big vases for now. I'm not sure about the plastic cases. You have no idea what those cases might have been treated with or...

Melody and Harry (two out of my for bettas) are currently stuck in smaller bowls. The bowls are quarters of a gallon. I know, small. But when I got them, I had nothing else. I'm trying to save up money to buy them both new tansk but it's sort of difficult. So, my question is, for a temporary...

Hi everybody. If you read my topic yesterday about me finally gettting a female Betta, then you'll know what I'm talking about. My new female who I got yesterday is too shy for words. Is this shyness or something else? I mean, she and and her sister were the only ones who hadn't died because of...

*Fishkies*, As you seem to know so much about Bettas, I was wondering if you can help me with a question I have with Melody. Melody is VERY shy, shyer then the rest of my fish. Everytime I come around her bowl, or check how she's doing, she'll quickly swim away and behind her tree. Then she...

A fish tale..... _______________________________________________________________________________________ Oh, no. I thought as I headed into the small room at the back of the orthidontists building. Yes, I'm getting twin blocks next week. Sad, I know. But lets not get much into that. I was...

*Fishkies*, Thank you for your help. Sadly though, Melody is dead. :( Sad, yes. I was just about to go out and get her when my friend called to tell me she was jsut at the pet store to get her Betta. She was going to get a female also. Then she told me that she had to get a male, because all...

Hi everybody, As some of you may know, I have three male Bettas. Toby, Sushi, and Harry. I've never actually owned a female my entire life. Though, when I was much younger and owned Bettas I would call the pink and purple ones "girls". :hyper: So anyways, I am getting a female today. I've...

True. Most of the time they don't know a thing about Bettas. Aw, don't bully her (only kidding). :lol: If she only has one 2.5 gallon tank, and the rest are 1 gallon tanks, then obviously one of the Bettas will keep teh larger one. It will not go unused just because it seems unfair. Is this...

Does your Betta look bloated at all? If so, then try feeding him a pea and see if that helps. If not, then maybe your not looking hard enough. Do you have gravel in your tank? Sometimes gravel can hide Betta waste. I know it does for my Bettas.

I feed mine three times a day; once in teh morning, once in the afternoon (when I get home from school) and once before I go to bed.

Bad Harry! Harrison is being a bad little Betta. Okay, so here's the deal. I put some flake food in for his food, before realising that maybe it wouldn't work out. The food sank to the bottom before he could get it. And it was dirtying up his bowl. So I gave him a dried red grub instead (which...

Hello everyone! I got a new Betta fish. Well, technically he's my brothers, but he doesn't like fish all that much, but I bought him a Betta anyway; I thought it'd get him into the hobby a little. The new Bettas name is Harrison, but we call him Harry for short. He's got a grey face, and a...

Awww...poor things. I'm very sorry for your loss. :rip:

I've gotten more pics. Seems like every picture I take of Toby, it has a huge glare. x.X So sorry if the picture didn't come out really well. http://i9.tinypic.com/4p2exi9.jpg (Sushi flaring at me) http://i19.tinypic.com/54kjler.jpg (Sushi's bubblenest- yes, not the best pic XD)...

It could be due to old age (you can never excatly tell if the Betta has been alive for two years, or a few weeks) but it also could be from stress, bad wtaer conditions, ect. Is he eating? Is he swimming around happily? Or is it just his appearance? Any extra info for us? ((If you can, please...

Yes, of course. ;)

Sushi seems to be enjoying his tank more now. He doesn't seem to be sulking anymore. Unlike yesterday in his bowl, he's no longer acting so depressed. The reason I decided to give him more space is because he was just laying at the bottom of the bowl, pretty much motionless unless I tapped on...

Actually, my local SPCA (might not be the same with yours) there is one man who is the only person who cares about fish abuse. If he goes into a house with mis-treated fish, he'll take them away ect. ect. I respect that man so much for doing what he does. :) Somebody has to stick up for fish, right?

They are all so beautiful! :) I espeically like Sarans colour.

I did rise out the gravel as best I could, but maybe I didn't do it enough. Is there a way to get rid of the cloudiness before the next water change?

Hey all. :D Remember me? Yes, the girl who keeps her Bettas in bowls....well, not anymore. Today I went out and bought a new tank for Toby. He's really enjoying his!! I also used an older tank that we had brueid under the sink for Sushi. I cleaned it out, and it's probably a 2 gallon or more...

Oh, I know that you don't care. I was just putting it out there. ;) Well, I got permission. But anyhow.... Oh really? :P I didn't know thats what it meant. My bad! Yes, ok, I spell the odd word wrong. I'm no perfect speller! :lol:

Thanks. :P I am a very good typer, and I support good spelling and grammer. I don't need supervision, as my parents trust me with the internet. ;) I feel so young on here, being surrounded with older and more professional people. :) Heehee, lol! It does hold water perfectly fine, so I should...

I'm 11 if you must know....and my parents have bought me a lot of stuff lately and I just HATE asking them to buy me new stuff....even if it's for my fish. And I would pay with the money in my bank account but I don't have that much and I'm saving up for something. Sorry if I seem to be so...

Of course. I have a thermometer that I'm going to use, but I only have one. So I'm going to have to buy another. And yes, I'm going to find something to use as a lid/buy a lid. Lol, yes, they are awsome jumpers. Today I was cleaning their bowls and Toby jumped right onto the counter when I was...

I know. I am going to find tops for both tanks. They were, and we were going to go and get two on Tuesday when I came home from school. But......I thought, "Hey, why don't I find something to use as a tank so I'll be able to save my parents money?" or something along that line. Thats when I...

And, would the 3 gallon water jug need filteration or heating? I don't think I could get either....but to keep the water warm in the 3 galllon would I be able to just use a heating pad to warm it up? I was thinking of having Sushi in the big 3 gallon, because he likes his room. Toby seems to...

Hey guys. As you know, I'm moving my Betta's into bigger tanks/bowls soon. I have two new homes I am going to be using...one of them is a 1 gallon bowl (I think it may be bigger than that though) and a 3 gallon. The thing with the 3 gallon home is....it's a water jug. You know, those big jugs...

Hi guys. I have some updates on my bettas.... I was going to buy their new tanks yesterday but I realised the price was VERY expensive so I decided to wait until the weekend or during next week to get the new tanks. Moving on.... I cleaned their bowls today. I cleaned their bowls and...

:wub: I think I see a small bubble nest in the 2nd to last picture. You know, the bubbles along the rim of the bowl. Mine make bubble nests all the time. :) Cullen is a cutie....very beautiful!

I understand what your saying. And I do believe that everbody should DROP IT. It's your opinion, and you can voice it if you want to. People now-a-days just can't seem to let go of flame-potential posts. Such as in my topic....nobody would drop the bowl issue and just move on....

Your right, but for the moment I'm just going to upgrade to something larger and then in time buy an actual TANK when I raise enough money. :nod: Thanks for all your help guys.

Just wait.... My parents cancled the shipment (I didn't know how they did it, but they did :huh: ) because they realised you could get cheaper tanks/bowls ect. at our local pet store. So, in a few days, I'll be going out to buy two seperate new homes for my Betta's.

Dropsy is such a terrible disease..... So sad to hear the death or your little fishie. He'll be in our hearts forever..... :fish: :fish:

Poor you..... If my Toby or Sushi died, I would be in quite a hysterical state. :shout: :-( Rest in piece Cario. You were such a ncie fishie..... :rip: :fish:

*laughs* Good one. Are they really eating waste? That would be very disgusting....I mean, really...... :look:
