Alyxx, did you see my last PM? I am not trying to harass you, just trying keep communication channels open. I am figuring you have alot of private/personal issues like the rest of us and simply have a hard time keeping up... Just let me know..

I do the aquaponics thing for 2 reasons. First I am big into gardening. If you want, I will send you links to gardening sites I frequent. Aquaponics lets me grow some food fish plus veggies. So far my veggie production has not been high enough to get anywhere near the "black", but it IS fun.
This is a link to my own profile page. You can see my posts and go from there to other guys who know far more about the subject than I do. I have a simple ethic...do things as cheaply as possible, get as much product as you can with the minimum of environmental impact...and have fun. I cannot send links but if you google aquaponics forum and then go to the one that starts with "community" you can find my profile and blog.

Kept getting error message because I tried to send you a link... even after I changed the link... Gonna try it here.
I plan to be careful with the crays escaping..not only for losing my specimens but ecological issues.
I used to have house full of aquariums, both salt and fresh plus a great collection of herps. I owned a pet store for 10 years, I was so broke I could not afford a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of... but I had a great collection of animals... even large birds. I had many specimens on endangered/restricted lists.
I loved being in business for myself and loved the pet trade, but the stress was great and the money poor. I would not recommend it to anyone..unless they are rich and want a hobby.

Thanks! How did you create you dividers?

Also, is there any way to guarantee all your female Bettas will get along, or is there always the chance of bickering? Thanks a lot!

Hi there! You have a lot of Bettas, right? I was just curious as to how you kept yours (for instance, do you use dividers?). Thanks!

About Me

About Alyxx

Location

Slidell, La

Occupation

I wait tables for now

My Tanks

5 Gallon Freshwater:
Marbled crayfish

56 Gal Fresh:
Betta sorority plus neon tetras and bristlenose plecos

30 Gal Marine fish only
Two GSP

10 gallon fresh:
Black HMPK betta (Ninja)

10 gallon divided fresh:
Pink/purple male Crowntail betta (Prince) on one side and blue and yellow Crowntail betta (Ziggy) on the other

10 Gal betta spawning tank

bunch of large plastic bottles for betta fry

1.5 gallon :
Temp home for a blue doubletail betta until I get my marbled crays moved into their new 20 gallon home
and two 20 longs, a 20 tall, a 20 hex, a 10, and a 40 breeder all waiting to get set up!

The tanks listed above are all what I had before I moved. Now I just have a 56 column holding a 3 yo tiger oscar named Trogdor (he's getting a bigger tank asap but he was kind of a last minute adoption from a friend - and its bigger than what he was in before) and a 2.5 holding a baby betta that is still unnamed.
