great, thanks. didn't know and wanted to make sure. again, thanks a lot. stacie

:?: :?: got some "mystery" snails with a starter bunch of plants online and need to know if i need to feed them and how often. there are 3 of them. in separate tanks with 1 betta each. keep the tanks pretty clean, and bought some algae disks to break up since they are not large snails. how...

Sorry :oops: it was liveaquaria.com. German drinking water. WOW!! :D Okay, well, thanks a lot. And I will go ahead and get some. They sound like pretty neat little squirts from what I've been able to find out. Acclimate them just like any other fish, I suppose. I will anyway, but yeah...

I went on a website called aqualife.com and the profile for the oto said a MINIMUM 30 gallon tank and major aeration. Is that true? I wouldn't be able to get a bigger tank or a bigger filtration system. Already trying to fix the 10 gallon filter so it doesn't push the bettas all over the place.

Well, you need to see it. It's a little corny (the 70's!!) but it's a good movie. The horse they used for the movie was dyed black. It lived here in San Antonio until he passed away. His name was Cas'ole. Know I didn't spell it right, but that's the best I can do. The people that owned him...

Why is it called a mystery snail? Did it work out okay with keeping the algae down? Stacie :)

Well, thanks to all of you. I was worried about overstocking and them getting along. We had fish when I was very small, but other than that I just recently started pursuing my interest in aquariums. Just really like the bettas and don't have a lot of room right now. Would one day like to...

Okay. Thanks a lot. I'll check around and get 3 then. I plan on keeping the tank pretty clean so I'll wait to see if I need anything else when the time comes. Again, Thanks. :) Stacie :D

Are they fairly easy to find? I would like to get one for each section. Would I be overstocked with 3 bettas and 3 of those? Do they stay small? Thanks for the suggestion. :) Stacie :D

Can anyone recommend an algae eater that would be compatible with my bettas? I will have 3 in a divided 10 gallon tank. Lots of what I'm assuming is algae already on live plants I've got in there. Any suggestions? Thanks :) Stacie :wink:

Not to sound ignorant or anything, but what breed is that? Or do you mean Canadian bred TB's? Do you follow racing at all? I do, but just because that was my way of getting close to them with the job and all. I always liked them. Read all the Black Stallion books and still have them all up...

Really? What breed(s) are you looking at? I like all of them and would take a swaybacked nag if someone offered, but my favorites are Thoroughbreds and Arabians. Good luck on finding one. Experts say they have the intelligence of 4 or 5 year old children. Which is pretty darn smart. I know...

Thanks. She just emailed me that she's shipping on Tuesday. Only a couple more days. Can't wait to get them!! Keep going to the site to look at them. It's almost as exciting as watching horses. I love them too. Don't own one unfortunately. I've wanted one since I was about 4 years old...

It just trickles into the tank from a little spout type thing. I think that after I get the tank full when the fish arrive it won't cause much current at all. Also got the distilled water. I think I should have gotten 3 gallons instead of 2 though. Test strip still shows hard. Down from...

Do you think I'm worrying too much about the water? I've had it set up for about a week and a half and I check the nitrates, nitrites, alkalinity, hardness and ph 3 or 4 times a day. Am I being a little anal do you think? I just want to be careful since these aren't pet store fish. I felt so...

Just checked out the site. It looks like it's gonna be real nice. I think I finally got my ph right. I went ahead and took 2 gallons out last night and added 2 gallons of distilled to help with the hardness. I didn't really want to do that 'cause all the betta sites seem to lean toward tap...

Yeah, I went to their links page right after I finished with my post and realized it wasn't you. Felt a little goofy for making the mistake!! I have seen so many articles saying how easy bettas are to breed, but jeez, it sure does take a lot of equipment, what with separating the fry when it...

I am getting 3 males, one of which comes with his sister. They are marked on hold for Stacie R G. They are on pages 3, 5 and 7 of the stock shop pages. I know that one is an opaque. I'm still in the beginning stages of bettas, so I don't know the proper color terms for the others yet. One...

nemo I took my 3 year old daughter to see it. About 30 minutes into it she says " I am ready to go now." I said "No way!! Watch the fish, they're funny!" When the DVD comes out, I'm buying it for myself. A simply hilarious movie, with a good storyline. :D Stacie :lol:

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody who responded. I'll go with the canvas idea and will also try mixing the water. I guess I should just get rid of the filter then, huh? What ratio of water change would I have to do on a 10 gallon? Once a week? :?: Stacie :)

I just have the small filter that came with the tank. I had two 1 gallons that I had some bettas in, but they died. I got them at wal mart (I know, I know. Not the greatest quality) and the ones I'm expecting I am getting from BC Bettas online. Just want to make sure everything is perfect...

I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank that I have set up for some bettas that I am going to be getting ( my Wal Mart bettas all died off). I bought some Top Fin dividers but am curious as to how well the water will be filtered through those tiny holes. The employee told me that they would be...

new aquarium I am new to the aquariums. I had some Wal Mart bettas that did terrible, and decided to get some quality ones from a breeder. I was thinking of putting Java Fern, Banana plant and something else. Unfortunately, I don't know what the something else will be. Any suggestions? It...
