    What Consider A Tank And A Bowl?

    Idk I read in some post and they said that a square 1 gallon is a bowl. Anyway, the "Lee's rectangle kritter keeper" is about $12. I don't want to have a too big tank because I live in a dorm :P

    Not Enough Oxygen In The Water?

    Hi, I recently bought 4 neon tetras in my new 5 gallon fish tank. The tank is fully planted and I treated the water with tap water conditioner. I have only a filter installed in the tank (as I heard that internal filters aerate the water as long as it create "ripple" on the water surface)...

    Filter And Water Current

    Hey guys, I bought a new internal filter (mechanical and biological) today and installed it in my 3 gallons tank. When I put my betta back in the tank, he just swim away and hid behind the plant (the farthest one in the corner of the tank). At first, I thought he was not use to it, so I let the...

    I am a college student and I love fish. I never had a betta fish before but I finally got one female betta 2 weeks ago.

    "king" Bettas

    They are a species of betta called "chupang raja", which means "king betta" in Indonesian. They are not plakats, they are bigger than plakats but aren't giant bettas either. Some experts think it's a breed from the "crowntail betta". I don't think they are related. It's a relatively new breed.

    Is It Okay For Bettas To See Each Other?

    Hi, I have 2 bettas in TWO SEPARATE tanks. I put the tanks next to each other with a paper between them so my bettas dont see each other so that dont get stress out. However, I'm thinking about buying a new tank and use a betta divider to separate them. Is it okay for bettas to see each other?
