Hia everyone, I've just got some new female bettas for my community tank and some of their fins are looking a bit tatty and not in the best of shape. is there anything i can do? I'm based in england in west yorkshire if thats any help! thanks, kim

yeah. not fair! poor fishes!

thats the size they were!

these ones were tiny! i couldnt believe it. i agree with the not putting them in tanks where they will get shredded by the other fish but this was beyond a joke!!!

i've just been to one of the fish shops in my area who are normally quite good and reliable. they have this new setup for male fighters, which is like a lot of tiny glass boxes about 10cm by 15cm. seriously less than a pint of water for each fish with a filtration system that connects to them...

Ok everyone!!! The chosen name is Paprika!!!! woop woop! :hyper: the camera is my boyfriends and its a canon EOS digital. they're expensive. but i've also found a free download on google call Picassa which is really good for sharpening photos and bringing the colours to life which i also...

I've had two red eared slider turtles for about 6 months now. i got them when they were tiny babies. they're in a large tank and i used gravel for the substrate because with them being so small they wouldnt be able to eat it by mistake. they also have some large rocks which make a platform and...

:blush: you've all made me feel like a proud mummy! i love Paprika! that could definately be the chosen name! :good: by the way, he's calmed down a bit now and isnt trying to fight with his reflection as much as he was. i've been watching him just about all day!

I got him yesterday. thanks to the people who resonded to my post yesterday as i was worried about him trying to fight with his own reflection. i'm trying to think of a name now. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :rolleyes:

WOW!!! he's beautiful! :good:

would a betta and an angel get along? i'd have thought that the betta would get a bit confused and try to fight with it. and arent angels quite terrotorial? i wouldnt want to put an betta and an angel in together. it may cause trouble!

This is him. i havent thought of a name yet. but i lurve him! :rolleyes:

i have always kept my male fighters with tetras. and i've never had a problem. i only had a problem with platy's as they niped his fins. my fighter at the moment is in with tetras and they get along fine and when i bought him from the pet shop he was in a tank with lots of neon tetras. i know...

i like number 5! but i aint an expert and i'm not going to pretend to be. i just think she's lovely! :good:

i have just bought a male betta and he is absolutely beautiful. and when i put him in his tank he is being agressive with his own reflection in the wall of the tank. he keeps flaring his fins and making himself look big and impressive. i'm worried that he will get stressed. i dont really know...

I have set up my tank with the aim of having it as a female betta community tank. i have calculated that it could house approx 17 bettas comfortably and i only have 2 in there at the moment. does anyone know a really good place to get bettas from? I'm in england in west yorkshire but i am...

i thought it wasn't in the nature of a royal python to eat pre killed. we were going to get one but were told bythe petshop man that we've known for years they only eat live??????

I have two snakes and i use old fish tanks for both of them. u just have to make sure the lid is secure, and you have appropriate lights and heating sources. i've never kept chameleons so i dont know much about their requirements. but i know that they can get really really big so make sure you...

Please will someone help me! Nobody has responded to me yet! my poor turtles!

I was shocked at the price of bogwood and stuff when i got a huge branch for my snakes tank! i nearly fell over! its a good job he loves it and is constantly climbing all over it or i would be very upset! :good:

Hey everyone, I have two baby red ear slider turtles and i'm having lots of problems withy algae bloom. i went to the LFS and they told me it could be the phosphate levels being too high. I got a test and voila the levels were really high, i did a water change and used to kit to lower the...

We had a beautiful blue betta with a few neon tetras and he was fine with them. they didn't nip him or anything and he was a happy fishy!

Hey all, further update. can those of you who use sand please tell me what kind of sand you use and which is best? i am in the UK if that makes any difference. Also i saw that some people use glass as a substrate which is what i wanted to do as my original idea but i was worried about the...

well put! short and to the point!

okey dokey, i dont want dead fishes. thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the info, i've read a lot on the internet and a lot of sites are saying that it is ok for a male to be housed with a gang of females. however if it is a big risk then i wont do it. i may just have a smaller tank with a single male in it cos i love them so much. what will the male do...
