Heh heh... nor would I. I would make rootings just for them, SoCalMom. We culture worms, don't we? I have more in my garden than I need, and give plenty away, but this would be just for them, and "cultured" indoors. Yes, that's what I was asking about-- whether anyone knew which hydroponic...

I'm growing an herb and vegetable garden, and after rooting some cuttings in water for friends who want to grow herbs, I was wondering whether or not I could root some herbs and put them in the tank with my Bettas. They're not sprayed or treated with chemicals, and I grew them from seed. What I...

Folks in this forum are so upset about copyrights, but apparently it's practised all over fishforums.net by the Members when it comes to copying and posting images taken by others for fish being sold. I've seen several in just a week, and nobody's done a thing to take them down. I even posted...

The image can be and is copyrighted, at least according to the information on this site. Without permission of the artist/owner, it's illegal, not to mention in poor taste. Period. Effectively, without permission, it's the same as a theft. We're all very concerned with doing the right thing...

I think he's beautiful, but I have a question for you. :) Who took the photos, and do you have permission from the photographers to post them elsewhere on the internet? There's a pretty serious discussion going on in the arts section of fishforums.net about copyrights. You really do need the...

Poetry is tough stuff, which is why I don't really write it! LOL! But I do read tons of it! You have my admiration for approaching this particular art. Meter aside-- as meter really varies in contemporary poetry, this poem tugs the reader in many directions. In poetry, every single word must...

I know this post is late, but FWIW: :) The standard of the industry, on a professional level, for actors and models, is B&W. Color is often seen as a misrepresentation, especially today when so much messing with color can be done digitally. Yes, the same can be said of B&W, but those shots are...

Yes! You will need good card stock, and a bone-folder (to score and fold) if the stock isn't already folded. You will also need a stylus (or something with a sharp enough tip to make an impression on the paper, but not sharp enough to cut into the paper-- a dry, spent ball-point pen will work)...

Any art-glass supply house will have what you need, and books, too! Look online for shops that sell supplies for stained glass arts. They often also offer courses! You might also try the PMC(tm) Guild (Precious Metal Clay) site. They have certified instructors all over the world, and glass...

They are wonderful!

I've made lots of frames! If you don't want to go for the wooden ones, or embellish them, get to your local arts & crafts store, and look for "Faster Plaster" or simple plaster of paris. You can get CHEAP plastic moulds, into which you pour the plaster. It takes a minute to mix, and a couple...

:thanks: I think I'm beginning to be able to find my way around here. :) :lol: Now, if only I can figure out how to set up my profile! :lol: :fish: :fish: :fish: "You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." -Mark Twain

:hi: dreamweaver68! I'm new here, too, and it's great ! :kana: :kana: :kana: :yahoo: :kana: :kana: :kana: You'll love it here! :fish: You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. -Mark Twain

Healthy Planet, Happy People? :shout: Did Somebody Say "Rant?" :shout: Unless we live in homes made of materials from the earth (stone, wood, adobe brick, etc.), with no electricty, plumbing, hardware, formica, telephones, automobiles, cell phones or computers, we are all adding to the...

WOW! :thanks: both! Mommyof2bettas and MoonstruckMuse (I love that name lol!) you're both wonderful for helping me like this, and putting your responses in language I can understand. ;) First: Yes, Mommyof2bettas, you're so right! I will definitely do the best I can to prepare and to care for...

The male was a present. It was my first Betta, and it came with a 1 gallon tank. It probably would have stayed in that tank if I hadn't investigated why it was making bubbles on the top! The guy at the pet-store insisted I needed a female, and that I really should let nature take its course. So...

As inexperienced as I was, I put the female into the tank because that's what the guy at the pet store told me to do! I've learned my lesson, and am actually conditioning a pair now for breeding, thanks to you guys and what I've read on this great site. The Male lives alone. :) An oil-lamp...

:thanks: so much! I'm glad I waited around and watched, because I did take out what they didn't eat. Next time, I'll even know how to feed it to them properly! :lol: :fish: :fish: :fish:

I like Dora! :) She does look as if she'll be steel blue, so why not go with the blues, and her adventurous spirit, and try on Jazzy, which can also be short for Jasmine! :)

Great idea to take your time! It took me almost 3 weeks to name my first Betta, a beautiful turquoise fella. He was playful, sociable, and made me love him even though I hadn't wanted ANY pet to begin with! :lol: He was a gift. Anyway, after I learned that the bubble-nest was not some weird...

I have used "waterproof" bandages (they come individually-sized and in rolls for atheletes) for underwater art-related projects (I work in stained glass and metals, so sometimes stuff has to be placed in water). They're sterile, so they're probably okay; you can always call the company (listed...

Okay, so I am pretty new at this Betta thing, and your site has been giving me a great education, including all the comments and links. In fact, I've pretty much been reading everything I can find about Bettas so I can feel prepared to breed my two new babies. Anyway... Several folks have...

Why Do They Do It? Because they can! Because they make a lot of money doing it. Because people buy them. I, personally, know two people who bought Bettas because they saw the cute bowls online and thought they'd be cool as decorative items. The fish came later, from-- of course-- a pet store--...

He's so pretty! Sounds like a lover with a sting! How 'bout: Cupid (he has a mess of arrows, and the colour associated with him most often is Red!) :wub: Fonzie (a lover, that all the girls and none of the guys wanna mess with!) :lol: James Dean (A hottie whom all the women loved!) or Bogie...

:sick: Hi, Kaisa, Sorry to hear your fish isn't doing so well. :( I'm far, far, far from an expert, but at least I can share my experiences with you. I just got my very first betta; he also developed holes in his tail, and I took him to see a specialist ~ :wizard: ~ My Betta probably got...

Hiya, MoonstruckMuse! :flowers: :thanks: I love your name, and am pleased to have been a source of amusement for you! I've sure been laughing at myself since that fish came into my life! :rofl: I can't figure out how to put those nifty boxes around pieces of your text, so please bear with me...

This is LONG, and may bore some of you! If you're not interested in fishy soap-operas and stupid humans, please forgive me, and just skip this! Assume I Know Nothing When I was given a beautiful turquoise betta-splendens for Mother's Day, I was told it needed no real care: just feed it a few...

:thanks: SO much! I'm swimming around in all the amazing posts here :fish: Thrilled with the "community" I've stumbled upon :yahoo: Loving the animated emoticons even an idiot such as myself can put into these posts :cool: And a little bit lost... :dunno: :-( And maybe this is where I find out...

Greetings! I'm a complete newbie, even to fish, so please be gentle. :) When I was a very little girl, my Daddy owned a tropical fish store, and set up aquariums in movie theatres and large offices. When I was a young bride, he set up half a dozen aquariums in my apartment, allowing me to...
