Thanks again! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum! I work in a pet shop and we have a big aquatic section, we just took stock of a torpedo barb order and it turns out there are a few fish that have been added accidentally and we aren't sure of a couple of them. The first picture is...

Thanks for the tip!

I live in the UK so I dont have access to pecto, and its not for a shelf its to go on top of my chest of draws :)

Hello! I currently have a 3.3 gal Superfish Wave 15 with a betta in. I do love the tank, mostly only for its looks...but its just a bit of a hassle. It's currently sat under a shelf on top of my chest of draws next to my bed and out of any direct sunlight. Obviously I would like to upgrade the...

Brilliant! I'm glad to hear that it's normal and I will deffinately invest in something like this, perhaps even that one :).

I don't think we even have petsmarts in England...my favourite fish shop by far in Maidenhead Aquatics, second being the petshop I work in as I can influence the stock and their care :3.

I was reccomended a guy who breeds them through a friend, the guy also works in Maidenhead Aquatics. I went to his house and picked my lil guy up, compared to how most of the bettas in pet/aquatic shops are kept he was living in excellent conditions.

Mine is actually really good natured, apparently he was raised in a tank full of neons...he takes his pellet from my finger too :)

He actually originally had a 7 gallon, but a bat and ball related incident resulted in a rushed, smaller tank as it was the biggest I could afford at the time. Saving up for a better tank but in the mean time I would just like to make his temporary home as comforatble as I can :). The temp tank...

I'll have a look for a tiny water pump, thanks for all your help :)

Yup the paper towel thing has to be done every other day right now. Oh also it's a heavily planted tank, the plants aren't contributing or anything (I wouldn't have thought they would be but you never know).

The borneos aren't based in there, they have come from my 60 gallon to help clean some algae growth. And just the surface agitation? There is loads, that's what's troubling me. All the water tests have come out fine too.

Hi, I have a 3.3 gal tank with a betta and two Borneo suckers. I started noticing an oily slick on the water surface and some one suggested that the water surface wasn't being moved enough. So I put in a temporary air stone and I have just bought a new filter (fluval u1). I got rid of the air...
