    ok to cycle with fish and prime?

    Test your water every day with the api master kit for freshwater, keep up on your PWC and also I cycled with prime. Just moniter it closely test twice a day if you have to. If you dont own the betta yet, just wait a few weeks until you do buy him. It will be much happier.

    Girlfriend Prom Idea

    Ohh my lfs sells lots of bettas in all sorts of different colors. I found an orange one once. Named him harry potter he just recently passed away. On the other hand, maybe you will catch the LFS on a stocking day, If not be weary of walmart fish, some of them can be very sick.
