yes both bettas are doing very well eating like crazy and very feisty.....both are eating form my hand already, they are very trusting.....the males fins are starting to fill out. i have just divided my 90 litre tank, wich was previously my community tank but has now been moved to a larger tank...

could it have anything to do with the move because it literally happened in the 10 minutes it took for us to drive the fish from the house to our new apartment......and when we went to put her in the new tank we noticed it.....could it be from a drop in tempurature???? because the heater was off...

the other day i transferred my community tank of fish into a larger tank......and for some reason during the trip from one to the other my small female kribs eyes have somehow managed to bulge out of her head!!!!! i dont know what could have caused it or why it happened but it looks...

thank you both for your replies......ill be heading to the lfs to get some yummy food for them and will probably get a couple different varieties to keep them on their toes....lol thanks!!!

good for you......im glad you had the guts to say somthing because alot of people just sit back and not say anything and the only ones that suffer are the fish......i would have done the same.....the fishies thank you ahahahahaha!

i currently have my bettas on frozen blood worms but im not sure if blood worms alone are enough.....so im wondering what other food is really good for bettas......what about baby brine shrimp or is blood worms good enough??? or the store bought pellets???? i just figured something more natural...

wow he is absolutly gorgeous......hes even more special now cause youve been through an ordeal together lol.....from my experience atleast....i find if you go through something like that together and fight for his life its makes him that much more important to you! he truly is a work of art, im...

well at first he could see her but i thought that with the long trip and all maybe it wasnt a great time to be flaring like crazy at eachother(wich they were) so i put a bunch of plants in between them so they can only get a slight glimpse of eachother..........the nest is about the size of my...

im looking for a nice white or light sand or even a light colour crushed rock to use in my betta tank that is safe for them and doesnt effect the PH. does anyone know any brands that i can use!?!!?!?!

sooooooo i have only had them for less than 24 hours and he has already started to build a bubble nest?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hes started just after dinner last night and he must have gone through the night because now its HUGE!!!!! i didnt expect this from a betta i only got from transport less...

thanks for the advice ill give him a bit to relax before i medicate.....no hes not wild....and the female is his sibling i didnt really think of it but she does look a bit like a dragon....hmmmm im not sure....ill have to wait and see how their colours turn out.....and im not aware of what it...

both male and female orange HM arrived at my house this morning!!!!!! they are alive and well....my only complaint is that they were shipped over to me from the transhipper in an express post bag wich didnt have anything saying it was a live fish or anything so i can safely assume that whoever...

yah it didnt seem too bad...i didnt have any wildlife inspection just a week of quarantine to get ride of any problems and medicate any diseases etc.....i also really like that they quarantine them because it breaks up the travelling time so i could imagine it wouldnt be quite as...

in canada i have seen freshwater puffer fish in many aquarium shops....but no one here in australia stocks them???? are they illegal or something!?!?!?!? i just love them!!!!!! and i wish i could have one but no one here seems to know what the deal is....

i only have to deal with 1 transhipper and thats the one who holds them when they enter australia.....here we have to quarantine our fish so they stay with her for a week and are medicated etc....it ended up being $66 to ship the pair so it wasnt terrible....they are now on their way from the...

its looks awful but he seems to be just fine????? how weird??????

have you thought at all of the fish themselves....do you care??????? sounds kind of stupid what your doing....and any betta lover wouldnt buy a fish with the plan to get rid of it before its even there........just so you can make some money cause you dont want to buy the one you really want in...

i look in my tank tonight when i got home and my smallest pakistani loach has had his eye COMPLETELY removed!!!! its like a vaccum has literally sucked it out of its socket!!!! im wondering if it was the very large pakistani loach that may have done this.....my school of them are always together...

it will probably only be for a week.....i was wondering if it would help speed up cycling if i did a large water change in my already existing tank and used the water taken from that and used it in the tank that needs to cycle????just a thought.....but yah it will only be a very short time...

i have mine in a community tank and they are beautiful......i think what kribensis 12 was saying is that if you had 1 male and 2 females.....both the male and one of the females will more than likely pair off and start to beat up the krib thats left over..........kribs are great in a community...
