    If You Gunna Do It, Please Add The Facts

    Am I also to understand correctly that this seller is simply reselling pet store stock? -_- It's easy to find out who it is if you just search ebayuk for "betta, guppys, danios and tetras" This is really a shame.

    Do You Have Pics?

    I actually really like the music, and I think it fits well. The font and the alignment of text in the top left doesn't look as professional as I think it could if you chose a nicer font and centered it. Overall, well done!

    Do You Have Pics?

    I have never heard anyone pronounce it as anything except for like the greek letter. I've lived all over the US and have only heard this pronunciation for at least 15 years. What gives?

    Losing My Betta Girls

    Your fish were lucky to have a mommy that was just trying to do the best for them. Good luck to you on your healthy ones, and to any new girls you get.

    Bottled Drinking Water

    Make sure to get a conditioner that removes chlorine, chloramine, AND ammonia. Most cities add chloramine now (because it doesn't dissapate like chlorine) and if it just says it removes chloramine, and not chloramine and ammonia, it will convert the chloramine to ammonia and really mess up your...

    Missing Snail?

    So I've got one male betta in a 2 gallon tank with an apple snail, some shells, and some plants. The snail is just...gone. I pulled all the plants and decorations out, sifted my hands through the gravel, pulled the airstone out of the filter, everything. There is a small hole at the top of...

    Fred Has A White Butt Spot

    I think a lot of people use bowl as hospital "tanks"...hmmm. I don't know why you couldn't medicate a bowl. Search through some threads here and see if someone else has done it, maybe?

    Fred Has A White Butt Spot

    Yes, ever since I saw those pictures I've actually had nightmares that my fish had it. So sad, and scary-looking. :sick: Have you tried any anti-bacterials or anti-fungal medicine for him? I haven't had to medicate my fish but it seems that there are lots of experts here who can hopefully...

    New To Bettas, Can You Help Me Sort Out Information Overload? :)

    Bubblenester - thank you so much for the great advice. I had no ideas about the shells! eek. My water is already quite hard. They are really beautiful girls, I feel so lucky - I pulled them all out of the back rows of the shelves at Petsmart (betta cups stacked 4 deep, most of the ones in the...

    Is A Bit Small

    That's the size of the entire set up. It looks like a half gallon bowl. I don't like the whole bettas-as-accessories vibe these give off. They also look sealed off on top and like cleaning would be a pain. Also, that is tacky as hell. It's a planter turned upside down with a fishbowl glued to...

    New To Betta Fishes

    I don't know if I understood right, but please don't put a male in with your females, he will hurt them! You can get all sorts of decorations with little hiding spots built in. I also put a couple of large shells in with my girls for them to hide in/under.

    New To Bettas, Can You Help Me Sort Out Information Overload? :)

    Has your tank cycled yet? Do you still need to do that many water changes after it cycles? My girls seem really happy right now, but I will watch for problems and am prepared to get a bigger tank if need be.

    New To Bettas, Can You Help Me Sort Out Information Overload? :)

    Hello all, I'm really new to fish, and realize I may be a bit over my head with information. There are so many different opinions out there and different, equally complex sets of instructions. I have 2 tanks, both 5 days old. Tank 1: 5 gallon 5 female bettas 1 blue mystery(apple) snail...
