Getting A New Betta Today...

[K.J.]

Unfortunately, something in the water - dropsy, perhaps - or something to do with unfiltered betta tanks killed my bettas, all not 3 days after water changes. So I have Candi left, in the 10g community tank with two platies, she's doing amazingly well, never aggressive, never chased by the male platy, and full of eggs. I've set up a filtered 10g and I'm off to Petsmart to get a new one. Would've gotten a pretty HM at Petco, but I won't be there for a while... might divide the tank. Anywho, I'll probably try to get a young one. Wish me luck!

If this tank is going to be filtered... shouldn't you cycle it? I mean it's better for the fish.

Anyhow, sorry to hear about your bettas with dropsy. I lost about three bettas at once due to dropsy... about two years ago. Good look with your new ones, and post pictures.

Don't tempt me... my mom would probably slap me. LOL! hmph... god knows i could use a gorgeous turquiose for only 4 - 14 dollars more than my sickly little baby!
I probably should have, but considering it's not necessary to even have a filter, I figured I didn't need to. Loading pics of him now in a new thread.

i didnt cycle any of my 4gallon tanks, all i did was keep up with daily water changes and this was fine

but with my bigger tanks, they were cycled b4 adding any fish
