Wow! Love the names, especially the black phantoms. It definitely sounds like a group of super heroes that protect the world at night time. My boyfriend and I named our betta Fred. He was Fat & RED :P (he passed a few days ago) Im starting a new tank of glofish once my new tank set up has...

:) thanks! I feel it shows the true Fred- a bada$$ in a little package lol

Sadly, Fred died yesterday :( His ich looked better but he developed possibly a swim bladder problem. He would stay at the bottom on his side and couldnt sit up properly. Im thinking an internal parasite caused an infection to his swim bladder. Can anyone confirm if I might be right? The...

Quick question.. We're looking for another diver at my work. Can I post the listing on here or is that not allowed? If i.can, where should I post it? I cant find anything about jobs. Thanks!
