Volleyball_rox, I'll be frank. I'm probably not going to start until the summer hahaha... I do seriously want to consider it though. But no time at all. UNLESS my filter breaks, then I'll start early. Don't get your hopes up, sorry...! Actually, I think my biggest issue is the empty food canister. Where can I get that? I'm no where close, and I do'nt want to overfeed. Do you think I could just go to a LFS?

First off, when you said I'll be frank, I thought it said I am frank. I was like ooooookkkkaaaayyy lol. Then I reread, relizing you meant you aren't lying lol. I'm sure you could get it somewhere else. Or Empty your food canister into something else. But I'm just going to wait.
:good:
 
Wow, then you must be one patient girl hahaha. I could NEVER wait that long! And lol, sorry for comin' off wrong.

Yeah, I don't plan on making it anytime soon. I'll ask around for empty food canisters. I could empty into something else, yeah. Hmmmmmmm. Time to start planning :cool:

Yup Yup.
Oh and yay, I'm pretty patient. Exept when it comes to math, I'm very impatent with math.
 
thank you, both of you :)
I nearly bought a betta myself today!
there was a lovely red one flaring contstantly at the one in the next tank in the lfs :)
he was gorgeous, and there was a sad looking purple one that didnt seem to be able to stay off the bottom for more than a couple of minutes. i want a halfmoon really though asnd these were veil tails.

sorry enough about me, how is your betta? any better? (excuse the pun, didnt mean it :))
 
Nessar, resist...resist! Hahaha. I know at my Petco there are halfmoons. Pricey, but I'd buy it anyday.

And were you talking to me, or volleyball_rox ? My betta is absolutely fine. Tail hasn't shown too much improvement, I gave freezedried bloodworm as a little treat. Did a 50% water change! Let's see how this keeps going :)
 
Well I was asking volleyball_rox, but i didnt know anything was wrong with yours?
What happened?

I've never seen anything other than a veiltail at any lfs in england :( as far as i know you have to go to a breeder to get the fancy types.

have a peek at the thread i just started, not sure where to get one from! wont be buying for 2 weeks though 'cause my cycle is only doing 2ppm ammonia a day at the moment, and I have inspections in 2 weeks (Im at uni)! And im not allowed pets! dont fancy hiding a tank when there are fish actually in it.
 
It's in my other thread. My betta's tail got ruined.
I'll read that thread after dinner! I'm in a rush. ... and I don't know what an uni is :) But... you have to hide your fish? Constantly? For every inspection? Oh darn...!
 
University :) so I guess thats College if youre American?
lol its dinner time over there... its past 3am here!

I only have 1 inspection per semester, so its not too bad, just need to wait till this ones over cause of course I'll have to empty the tank to move it, its a 15 gallon. Cant really empty a tank to put it in the wardrobe if theres fish in it!
Moving to a new house in May though where Im allowed pets :) my hamster will be happy!

And I've actually read that thread before, just didnt realise it was you. Your poor betta :(
Im going to give it a go with real plants, although ive only had them 3 weeks and already one is dead and the other is following so I might have to resort to silk. Not plastic after reading your story! Im sure his tail will heal fine though :)

... Even mentioning math is depressing. Hahaha

To get a little back on track..... how do you do your water changes, currently? Do you still take your betta out? Etc?
Click to expand...
I do it by evey otherday removing 25% of the water, then the next day adding aged, purifyed water.
Nope, I'm too afraid to take him out!
 
There's no need to remove the fish from the tank when doing a water change.

Mine stay in the tank. A couple of them are a bit naughty though and try and swim up the syphon (one did manage to get up there because she was chasing after a bit of pea that had been in the bottom of the tank - luckily I yanked the syphon out and she plopped back down into the tank.)

I know it was probably quite scary at the time, but it made me laugh just now :)




And Volleyball_rox, had any luck with the tank yet? and hows your betta?
