If you want to have bettas in 12 gallons I would reccommend females. If it's heavily planted (or decorated) then 5 or 6 should do well. If you do end up getting females get spawn siblings if you can as they usually get along much better than non siblings.

I'm sure Leo (will) love(s) his new tank! I have about 40 bettas (soon to be more) and all of them love having 5 gallons! (Except for the 5 females in the 10 gallon) What kind of bloodworms are you feeding him? (frozen or freeze dried?) Good luck with him. When fish are put in good sized...

I thought that angels needed a lower pH. I'm considering African cichlids. :D

Ok. I know about alot of fish and their needs. The problem is that I'm not sure what kind I should get as I don't have personal experience with them. Are there any fish that you personally like or would stock a 55 gallon with?

I am stocking and aquascaping a 55 gallon tank. I've fishless cycled it and the substrate is sand. It has filter, heater, and lighting. I also have a large piece of driftwood that I can use but other than that I have nothing. I can't decide what type of tank to have. I can't keep fish that...

I'm helping my mom start up a tank in her office. We've already established that she is going to have a betta. My question is: Are bettas and platies compatible? I know alot about bettas and have around 20 of them but don't keep other fish with my bettas. I was wondering if anyone else had and...

Both

I have a 55 gallon soon to be planted tank and need to figure out what to stock it with. I have a really high pH. Do you have any suggestions?

I recently set up my 20 long tank for my guppies in the winter. (they live in a pond in the summer) A female guppy that we got in a pair in a lfs died within a week. A few days later she was followed by the male who came with her, then by a female that I had bred. I was away for the weekend...

I already have a stand for it. (Piece of furniture that will hold it)

Yesterday, as a combo b-day and x-mas present my family gave me a $250 petsmart giftcard. With it I want to start a female betta tank. What I'm not sure about is the size of this tank. The $250 needs to cover just about everything that goes into the tank along with the tank and most of the...

First is is a he, not a her. Second, I would doubt that he would provide anything but great conditions for his bettas. He has been in the hobby (specifically bettas) for over 20 years and is a breeder (not professional but a breeder nonetheless) and very knowledgeable when it comes to this...

This is a quote from a user on another forum. So far we have not been able to identify the disease so I thought I'd see if someone here could. Any idea what this could be?

I've also had suicidal ghost shrimp. One kept trying to jump out of the bag on the way home and as soon as he went into the guppy pond she jumped out. I'm not sure why. Another was one that I was transporting to another tank and I was out on the patio and it jumped out. I have wood as the...

yes.
