Once a day should be fine, overfeeding is bad anyways. They will always look hungry and will be looking for food.!

I know a lot of people here will say the best to keep bettas is between 5G to 10G. like i said i have him in a 2G and so far he is doing fine, anyways is better than where the LFS has them in a smaller space. I think they will do fine, but i guess like many here say they will do best at 5G :) If...

A picture of my little guy

Yes, i kind of want to get another one haha. I don't have space for a 10G. I wanted a community tank before, but i couldn't :(, and since i have a 2G that's why i decided to get a Betta, i could get a 5G though. I am thinking to buy real plants, right know i have everything fake, but will...

Welcome AnabantoidLover, i am new take care of fish, and love to come here and get to know more about it :) Starting with a 2G hehe

I just got a new male halfmoon betta fish, and he is just gorgeous!!! he is a very active little guy! At first i didn't like the idea of having a betta since they look sad and inactive in that tiny little cups that LFS has them. I though they are not active (as many people might think too) BUT...

I have attach a picture of how the fin of my swordtail looks, keeping the water clean seems to make no difference, her fins looks like is getting worse, i think i might have to use melafix to treat it :(

I don't know the nitrites, don't have the test kit for that :huh: the tank has been set up for months already and i did fish less cycling. I was using Melafix for a day, but then my swordtail kind of didn't want to eat and always stayed at the bottom so i decided to stop using it and now she is...

Hi, some of you already know i have only one female swordtail in my 2.5G and i know it is too small and will get a 5G soon, once i move some stuff to make more space for a 5G tank. Right now my swordtail has fin rot, what will be the cause of that? i know is not the water being dirty since i...

I wanted to move it to my basement, but then is more work. Yes i know 2.5G is too small for my swordtail and i will soon upgrade it to a 5G, i wish i could do more than that, but i don't have enough space :(

oh, thanks from now on i will turn it off when i change the water And yes as of now i have the fan on blowing by the fish tank, but i don't know how to put the bag with ice, if i leave the top open is not good, because swordtail are fish that can jump :blink:

When changing the water with the tube to suck any dirty thing from the gravel do you turn off the filter? i usually don't, but was wondering if its better to turn it off or is it ok to leave it on? Also its very hot here in my living room where i have my fish tank and i don't have an AC only a...

When i got fry i feed them with Hikari First bites i know you can feed with normal flakes just need to make them into little tiny pieces so they can eat, but the Hikari First bites provides a rapid growth for the fry :)

Let them adjust to the tank and when you feed them don't bother them just go away or stay a little far away from the fish tank. :fish2:

It could be a lot of reason, i agree with the above you need to give more information. and what kind of fish are they?

Wow im sorry for the lost of your fish, that's why we need to show to the person who will feed the fish how much it is need to feed. Just saying a little bit can varied from person to person. I did that once, i told my dad to feed a little bit and after 2 days came back home and the fish tank...

Mine were unexpected too, i got two swordtail a female and a male and before i knew they had fry already i didn't even know she was pregnant and did a pwc so i might even accidentally suck out some fry because the way i find i got two fry it was because they were by the filter, i saw two tiny...

Wow the fry looks big i mean it doesn't look like newborn it looks like they have been there for maybe a week or two? if i am not mistaken, since i did have fry before and they were smaller and you could barely see them. Congrats on the fry they are so cute, but so hard to take care, mine...

Do you think you could take a picture and show us here? maybe someone can help you when they see a picture and know what it is. :huh:

He died yesterday :( i guess it was because he got stressed out, since i was giving away my 3 bloodfin i decided to take them out and put the swordtail male together with the female in my 2.5G i did this on Thursday, everything was fine he was eating, i stopped using Melafix since i had the...

I don't think is the cleanliness of your water, and it is most likely that his tail was bitten off by another fish in the tank. Maybe try to re arrange the decoration, you fish will be more passive if the think they are in a new environment. And maybe put Melafix to heal fin rot.

I found the crayfish are C. Patzcuarensis, i have seen when putting them together my bloodfins are not even scare of them and the crayfish wont do anything to them although some seems like they dont like to be disturbed other than that it seem to be fine since the bloodfin swims pretty fast and...

Thanks everybody for the reply, i already give away my bloodfin so now i have my two swordtail in the fish tank for now, i will see how they do, keep an eye on them and see if later on will upgrade to a 5G :fish2: or maybe get least killifish :)

they look like lobster, but are small ones. I already put my bloodfin in there to see how they adapt and so far they are doing good, i will keep an eye on them and see how they are doing, otherwise i will give them back to a LFS, maybe i can upload a picture of the crayfish when i get a change...

yes, but no more cories and i am giving away the bloodfin so only swordtails for now in my 2.5G i know it is too small for them so i might also give them away and get a betta instead :huh:
