Aw! Grats and good luck!

Wow! Beautiful! I love the teal/green-blue color one with the stripe going up his back most! He matches my dishes and I'd love to have him in my kitchen! Grats! They are lovely!

I had my first beta for 5 years, most of mine have been 3 years though.

Thank you. Not 100% sure what I'm doing, depends on my space issues.

You arn't being a dick, I have a very small desk I honestly cannot fit anything larger then a 10 gallon. The desk is the only place I have for the tank. and I'll have to but sone books under the shelf part to hold the weight. If the tank were any wider it would not fit on the shelf at all. I...

I have spke to a man who has had cichilds for over 30 yeas and I voiced my conserns about a 10 gallon being too small for one and he told me not to worry at all, I have seen how mean these litlle buggers can be which is why I said I doubt I will add anything else. I cannot upgrade to anything...

Hello, I'm looking for thoughts on the best filter unit for a cichlid. The one I have now came with the tank when I got it for xmas a few years ago, i'd like to get a better one. It's for a 10 gallon tank for one fish, not sure if that makes a difference or not. I may at a pleco and/or cory...

I think if you look on the side there are two photos you can click. That may be the fish in question.

Wow, beatifull fish! I love the colors! I love the way you have your tank set up! Very pretty.

I live in a small town and there are no fish clubs here, but I have posted on a website asking about fish clubs in the city other areas. Thanks for the idea, never thought of it :D They are still a bit small to go, but i'd be nice to give them to people then take them to a pet store. (I wouldn't...

LOL! They laid more eggs when the babies were with them and started to eat them!(the babies) That's why I took them out! They ended up eating the eggs too and the daddy was beating up the mother. We gave both fish, along with the one other male we had to my uncle. He has set them all up in their...

Incase anyone is intrested in the progress of my babies, they seem to be doing well alone in their tank! They look like cichlids now and they have started to try and bite eachother.. but they are still pretty small, they might be 2 cm. We have some white/clear color ones, is this normal? Sorry...

Wow, and I thought the lava lamp "bowls" were bad. These things are at walmost are a re very flimsy plastic, like you could bend it with one hand. Not exactly sure how it would work, but I'm sure it's a hot seller for xmas. I haven't seen the ipod speaker thing here in Canada, but it looks...

I love that first picture! Very cute fish!

They seem to be doing well on their own :D

She killed at least three of them so I took them out and put them in a 10g alone, here are some pics! I think there may still be a couple in there, but the daddy was biting my net so I figured I better leave them alone. Some of the babies are white and others are darker! So cute!

Sorry for all the questions, but the mother has laid more eggs.. will she kill the babies that are in there now to raise the new ones?

Would it be alright to clean the tank and put the parents and the babies back in? They arn't eating the babies at all.

In my experience it depends on the fish. So far so good. If I see a change in the Gourami's attitude (becomes agressive) then we will remove them. As for the cichlids, 3cm? They have a long way to go then! I was worried that the shop might just be saying that to get them for free. I'll deff hang...

We got two platies yesterday and they seem to getting along fine :D Pet shop worker said they'd do well together. Thanks for the info! He is a very funny fish to watch! LOL! They also told us that the baby cichlids were ready to go and that they'd take them.. they are almost 3 weeks now. Anyone...

It is a yellow/white color. Thanks for the advice, as I said we will be looking for a larger tank :D

It is one fish, just two different pictures, one with a flash and one without. I'm looking for tank mates for him or her. Thanks for the suggestion of barbs and danios.. don't have a clue what they are but I'll look them up :D We will be looking into getting a bigger tank, if we see a good...

They hatched on Nov 13th. (or the 12th) They seem to be doing well! I hope they make it! This has been awesome to see! We now have two tanks of cichlids, one with the pair and babies and then another that has one male in it. My mother bought a tank from a woman she knows from work, it was...

Good news! Got a new tank tonight and took the other two fish out of the tank with the pair. Yay! I hope the babies make it!

I love the way you have it set up! Very perdy. How many girls do you have?

The hatched! I can't help but feel bad for them. Sorry I could'nt get a really good photo.

I have never been able to get any of my betas to eat anything but flakes! I'v had prolly close to 12, currently have none :( The always just spit everything else out!

Wow! Beautiful fish! Grats!

Thanks for the info I'll check the link out in the morning. I really wish I had another tank so I could move the others out, but I don't. I took them as a favour to an old co-worker. She had a 60g tank full of them and wanted to break of the pairs because they kept spawning. She also had two...

I was given six cichlids (atleast I think that's what they are) a month or more ago. I'm new to this kind of fish, I usually only keep bettas and gold fish. Two of them have been killed because one is very agressive and they, IMO are not in a big enough tank. I think it's a 10-15 gallon. Anywho...

Oscar passed away this moring.

Although that may be better for him, I could never do it. It'd be different if I could run him up to the vet and have him "put down".

He's still alive so I cleaned his bowl today and added the conditionr and the Dropsy treatment again. As long as he isn't giving up I won't either. Here is a picture of him from about 10 mins ago. As you can see he's gotten pretty bloated and his scales are sticking out agian. :( This is how...

Sorry for your loss :(

I'm really sorry to hear this :( My Oscar was fine one day and the next he was bloated.. I have no idea why.. maybe I didn't clean him enough I really don't know. He was happy, healthy and active up untill a day or so ago and now he's just sort of floating around.. I'm surprized he is still...

Thanks everyone. He's still the same as he was last night, I usually clean him every other day, should I clean him today? Or just leav him rest? The water isn't really dirty, but it's not as clean as I'd like. I just don't want to stress him out. Thanks again for your replies. <3

Sadly Oscar is on his way out. He's just on his side at the top of the bowl. I wish I could have done more. Thanks so mch for all your advice and kind words. I'll post tomorrow if he's passed on. I know this sounds silly, but I went over to the bowl and he was very still, I out my finger infornt...

Wow, perdy fish! Good luck!

Cool, thanks! I haven't seen any like that here in New Brunswick, Canada, but I'll check i Maine the next time i'm there :D

The look great :D Where did you buy that bowl? It's so cute!
