Lights sound good. I think every tank should have at least one!

Oh yea, I'm watchin'em like a hawk! I'll separate if there's any issues, but so far, I think I've been pretty lucky. Thanx

Yea, Bubba's the dark blue betta in the top pic. I've had him almost a year now, and he's been really cool to watch. He's a pretty calm guy. I just bought a crown tail from Psmart for my office. I'll have to post pics of him. I broke down and brought his small aquarium home today. I don't...

They're fine! Bubba finally calmed down.....he had to bristle up some, just to make up for being such a coward at first! lol The girls like the moss, and stay in different parts of the tank. Brunhilda is probably the shyest so far. Has Starbuck eaten yet?

Awesome!!!!!

No, she ate the WHOLE thing! It took her about 10 minutes, and she was chased several times, but she never once let it get away from her! The others are well fed, tho, so I think it was more a "GIMME, GIMME...." than a real hunger on anyone else's part. They're pretty funny! I just added...

LOL! The Age Old Battle of the Sexes is still alive and kickin! :hugs: ;-)

Hmmmmm.........let me see................. You did say BOY friend, right!?! That should tell you right there! :rolleyes: LOL

Sorry....should have said! I have a 55 gallon. It's WONDERFULL!!!!!!!!! I don't ever want to go back to a smaller tank again! Actually, this afternoon, I added two female bettas in with the male. It's been pretty funny watching the male go from scared to death to "Hey! this is MY...

1. My bettas eat the tetra flakes, but I also feed the betta bits for a little variety. He seems to prefer taking his food from the top. 2. I have mine with tetras, siamese algae eaters, black skirt tetras, tiger barbs, and some neons. He's not aggressive toward them, but, sometimes, the...

Ok. This is what I did...... Added a 24W CF 13 inch 10000K light on the left side of the tank. Really brightened it up. Adjusted the timer for a full 12 hours plus......on at 6 am (so I'm not grumpy and road-ragey in the am!) and off at 8. That should give me some time to enjoy them...

Just bought 2 females for my tank. They're pretty cool......Bubba was scared at first! Wouldn't come out of the java moss in the corner for nearly an hour! Named'em Brunhilda and Cissy. Bubba and Cissy Brunhilda Cissy

Here are a couple of pix. Bubba, my blue vt betta, looks like he has an attitude, but he's really pretty cool and laid back. One of my black skirt tetras with a huge algae wafer she was NOT going to let go of! mmpwhat mmpdo mmpyou mmfmean, mmfwhat's mmfin mmfmy mmfmouth!?! :-D

Thanx! I have to admit that seeing my fish first thing in the morning, before I'm off to the old grind, really helps my attitude for at least the drive to work! (Once I hit the door, I don't think anything can help!) :p Alaris just gave me some mid and foreground plants, but I haven't seen...

Ok. I admit it, I'm not very bright when it comes to lighting! I know I'm supposed to leave the lights on for about 12 hours max. But does that lighting have to be constant, or can I have it on from about 6am to noon, then again from 4pm to 10 or 11 pm? I am gone at least 9 hours per day...
