Over the years, I have gotten my bettas almost everywhere that sells bettas. As long as that same store sells fish, anyways. Oddly enough, my most cherished bettas (females and males) I have gotten from Walmart, which apparently have a very bad reputation when it comes to fish.

" I heard bettas like small tanks" (vases,cups, little fish bowls, ect) After owning many bettas over the years, I have found that they differ mostly with personalities. Some like small tanks, some don't. My sister has one that gets unhappy and lethergic if you put more than a few inches of...

I am, by far, no expert. But since you got your betta a 1gallon tank, perhaps you could bring some water from home, maybe even some from your other tanks and just replace what you have him in now? It might help by at least relieving him of what might still be in the water he is in now and giving...

Sorry, I'm fairly new here and have no idea what HOB means. My filter is a Whisper30, I think...maybe a Whisper20, but I am sure it said 30 on the box when I got the tank setup. When I am facing my tank, that bigger sponge is in the front and I would put the carbon in a sponge-type bag directly...

WOW, this forum is so full of useful information!! No charcoal? I'm shocked!! I always thought charcoal was the best!! I use a fluval with my 40gallon and I have 2 of the 3 trayed full of charcoal!! LOL Thanks to this informative thread, I am going to change that. But I have a question. On my...

When I used to have bettas, I had different degrees of success when putting one in the community tank. The worst case scenario was I had one that would just hide all day and had staked out one of the caves as his own. Eventually I removed him as I felt he wasn't happy. Best case scenario was I...

ew, that does look like a leech, but I am far from being an expert in anything. Interesting markings, though. How do these things get into the tank in the first place? I wouldn't want to have to deal with anything like that with my tanks....

Thank you once again, Colin_T!! This information is mighty helpful to me :) I've always wanted to know in case I needed to change the hardness of my water for some reason, although I never have needed to so far. I live in an area where we could end up with hard water sometimes, although I've...

Wow, Colin_T, thank you for all your information. That surely is helpful, especially should I wish to breed the Bosemani pair, as well. I don't know what a 2ft tank is, but I have 2 unused 20 gallon tanks, one being a long one. Although I know alot about making infusoria, and feeding fry with...

If I do this right... (I've never actually linked to pics before but can't find an option to upload them here) My first pic is of one of my Bosemani Rainbow (whom I assume is the male), a Giant Danio and and Australian Rainbow This pic is my Bosemani and I think what I assume is the female...

The site I found the information at is here. The endangered bit in found under "general Information" and has a link to the endangered list. It basically says what you just mentioned, about Irian Jaya. That makes sense, the difference between wild and captive/bred fish, actually. I guess maybe...

Hi, I'm new here and I am not sure I am posting in the right forum. I have an endangered fish question. Firstly, to make a long story short, I'm an amateur fish hobbyist and have two aquariums. My 25 gallon for 2 years and my 40 gallon for almost a year now. Once I sucessfully bred bettas...
