Actually, even if she's a he, I'm keeping the name Lady Thiang. We can say that my little fish is in drag. Lady Thiang was the king of Siam's favorite wife in The King and I, and I kinda feel like my little betta is a bit of a drama queen, so it still suits "her." LOL

Fascinating!

I'm fine with it being a male. When they're labeled as "baby girl" in the pet stores, they are usually left for dead, because everyone wants a glorious male. So, I like the thought of having saved a fish who would have, otherwise, gone unnoticed.

Even with a magnifying glass, I'm having difficulty getting the correct angle to have a good look. Sometimes I think I see a little spot, but then I can't really tell. But man oh man, there is an enormous bubble nest brewing!

Gotcha! Thanks so much.

Thanks for clarifying, Mebbid! :fish1:

Wow, fascinating!

OK, FINALLY! Here are my cute snail pics! I named him Leftie. One pic is of him just posing on a leaf, basking in his magical, aquatic life. The other one is him hitching a ride on the floating log. Very comical...

Thank you, Delapool, but no... I wasn't uploading from that platform. But I figured it out! It was a matter of the attachment icon on this site being too cryptic and teeny. My next posts will contain my cute snail pics.

Autumnsky, that pinkish snail is so pretty!

Yea! My upload worked! It wasn't obvious where the attachment icon was. Really teeny... Here's another picture of the betta in question...

Sarahm, I am hoping this upload works. I have not been able to successfully upload pictures to this website, for some reason. I have an image selected, but I can't guarantee that it will work.

Since I'm really new to fish keeping and aquariums, I am still not entirely sure what the term nano tank means. Does it mean small? Or a non-traditional shape? Anyway, I would love to have a tank like this, and I love the tree!

Just to be clear, the betta I am inquiring about is NOT the one in my profile pic. The one in question is all one color - solid teal blue, with the tiniest white tips on the two front fins. Do you still feel strongly I have a male baby? Thanks for your reply!

Delapool, thank you for your reply.

Great name! So glad you're moving him on up (like the Jeffersons!). He's a lucky fish! I named my male betta (seen in my profile avatar) Boon-Mee. It means lucky, fortunate boy in Thai. And I named my female Lady Thiang (from The King and I). As I adopt more betta fish, I think they will all...

If it's not too late to throw in my two cents, a proper English garden should have a sundial or a birdbath and lots of rose bushes. Not sure how you'd find those decorations or make them, using safe materials. Maybe the birdbath/sundial pedestal could have a cutout hiding place for the fish. I'm...

I got a betta from Petco, labeled as a Baby Girl. I named her Lady Thiang. She's been enjoying a 3 gallon planted tank for a few weeks, along with her tank mate, Leftie the Snail. She's definitely a bit bigger now than the day I brought her home. Her body appears to be about an inch long now...

That betta is a cutie! What did you name him and how big is his tank? Good for you to do the research! I did the same. I can't believe how inhumanely these fish are treated!

One more attempt from a different browser... Hopefully this will work.

Leftie looking pretty on a leaf... AGAIN, NO PHOTO... CAN'T SEEM TO UPLOAD TO THIS THREAD.

Oh, I had to get in on this thread! What a fun thing to request: cute snail pics. I'm new to the aquarium world, and if you had told me a month ago that I would be spending endless amounts of time admiring and chuckling at the adorable, slow-mo antics of my pet snail named Leftie, I would have...

Sctjn, I have the same tank and so far (fingers crossed) have not lost any LEDs. But I don't like how much condensation gathers on them. They're practically in the water! I keep the feeding hatch opened at an angle 24/7 to release some condensation and heat, which really builds up in there...

MKeys, could you describe the black aquarium paper a bit further? Is it meant for submersible use? I've never heard of that. I would think it would leach into the water, no? Also, how did you adhere it to the filtration column? It looks really cool, and your Betta is gorgeous! I have the same...
