I appreciate you taking the time to understand my viewpoint. And I will be around to read. I am happy to watch and learn from experienced people. That is why I come to forums, why I read books, and why I usually end up trying new things. That said, are there ANY fish that anybody can recommend...

I *just met* the people who are giving me advice here. I don't know anything about them. I'm not saying they aren't experienced people. I'm saying I don't know anything about them, and I've met a lot of people on message boards who claim to be experts and yet are not. The people who wrote the...

I appreciate your thoughts, and I understand that relatively new people to fish keeping make mistakes. I also am an avid reader, and a careful observer. My knowledge won't end here, I can guarantee you. I have spent my life teaching myself new things, and it has come with great rewards. I...

Ok, I may be somewhat new, but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, guys. I've read that if you're going to have fish in bowls, it is safe to do 100% water changes because you do them often, and because the water going in is quite similar to the water going out. I use Prime to dechlorinate...

I have two zebra danios. I asked the store to give me the smallest ones in the tank. I don't know if they are full grown or not. I do changes on Monday 50% Wednesday 50% and Friday 100%. I have an ammonia testing kit that I use daily. If there is even a trace of ammonia, I change 50%. So...

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I know many betta people who say it is actually more cruel to keep a betta in a tank with a current, because of their unnaturally long fins. I have a male betta at my home in a 2 gallon, and he is happy as a clam, building bubble nests daily. If the...

I did read of some successes with 3 girls, so I was hoping if I got two other fairly low-key girlies, it could work. If not, I will absolutely be dividing them. I have to admit, I enjoy watching my single girlie swim around freely in her whole big 5 gallon, so I might not get more... but some of...

Well sadly, it is truly impossible for me to put a 2 foot tank in my office. Believe me, I would love one. I've also heard that neons don't work well for bowls. Everyone seems to have their own opinion on what does and doesn't work well in a bowl. Goldfish are an obvious no-no. I'd love to have...

I have read many differing opinions on that, and based on the conflicting info, I decided to give it a go and just learn for myself. They have been fine so far (after I made sure they were eating). Plus, I can't have that large of a tank here at work. If it doesn't work out, I'll find the fish...

Yep, they're in a bowl. No I don't have a filter, I just do large frequent water changes.

Nevermind... go figure, they started eating today. :rolleyes:

You know, I'd swear I've heard a clicking noise coming out of my guy's bowl, especially right around feeding time. I'm going to pay closer attention next time. I always thought it was the lamp making a weird noise. Lol

Lol... no, ;) I did do some research before I bought them. The male has 2 gallons and the female has 5 gallons. I would like to see if I could get 3 females to get along in the 5 gallon tank. I have provided lots of plants, and several rocks as hiding places. But I haven't decided where (or if)...

Hi all, About 4 days ago, I purchased some zebra danios. They have their own bowl, so are not bothered or bullied by other fish. I have several types of food (freeze dried bloodworms, brine shrimp, goldfish flakes, and betta pellets) that I have tried to get them to eat. I'm not sure if they're...

Hi folks :) I've been lurking around for a couple of days and thought I'd come out and say hello. I have two bettas (one male, one female) who I absolutely adore. I also have two danios, who keep me company while I am at work. I haven't had many types of fish in my life. I had a betta when I was...
