Okay, thanks. I'll do that.

So, I was watching him and he was twisting around in his tank. I didn't actually see him bite his fins, but maybe it's a sort of stress habit? I don't know how long he was kept in his little half cup bowl, but it couldn't have been good for him. I was planning on ordering online, but I saw this...

Hi, I recently bought a beautiful new betta from a local pet store. He's a blue and red Cambodian crown tail, really pretty, but on closer inspection, his tail is short and looks almost as if someone took a pair of scissors to it and cut it off in a strait line. There's some feathery crown, but...

Ok, thanks. I suppose the bright coloring would make cherries more noticeable.

Ok, so I'm wanting to make a little tank for my room. I'm not sure exactly what size, but I'm moving my little female Betta (currently in a one gallon) into it. Thing is, I've always wanted some shrimp. I've owned some ghost shrimp, and I wanted to go with some red cherry shrimp. Will my Betta...

I am wanting to set up my first planted tank, but I'm on a low budget, and plants can be expensive! I know I can use the ones from this tank in others and stuff, but I don't think I'll have tons and tons of tanks anyway. I just live the look of planted and thing my betta would be happier that...

I want to feed my betta live foods. I bought him a week ago at a pet shop, inside a small drink cup. Seriously. The lid had the slits for the straw and the things you punch in if it was diet and such. It was even smaller than the usual plastic cups you find at walmart! Anyway, I bought him...

Oh, I definitely wasn't going to put him in .5 gallons, I was just wondering if anyone knew of something similar but larger. I am actually planning to do a planted ten gallon for my betta right now.

I am a betta person all the way. I love how each one's personality is totally different!

I really want java moss to help shelter some shrimp I might get for a ten gallon. But when I went online, I couldn't find out if either petco or petsmart carried java moss. I checked at my lFS, and they didn't have one. I suppose as a last chance I might buy online, but I would prefer to not...

Ok, so it started when I bought my new betta, Basil. He is a beautiful Cambodian, and of course, at the moment, he was the prettiest betta I was ever going to find, so I bought him for a little tank I had prepared. The next day, I was in walmart, haunting the pet area as I have been lately (I...

There is three divisions in the tank. Would I be able to drill through the glass without breaking it?

I found an awesome tank that comes with fitted glass dividers. I thought I would sand the dividers to cloud it and use it for betta's. The thing is, will it heat correctly with the dividers in place? There isn't any holes in the glass, so I already ruled out a filter and will just have to be...

Oh, thanks, I hadn't found any information on crossing tail types. I suppose it's just like crossing dog breeds.

Thanks!

Thanks, and yes, I thought I would buy the betta's online from a good breeder. I found a really gorgeous pineapple plakat, imported from Thailand, so I was wondering how those would mix. I am debating in whether to use my veiltail or buy another betta somewhere else. I really like his coloring...

I saw an awesome tank designed specifically for betta's that comes with built in dividers. However, the lid is plain glass, no lighting. I could buy a separate light that sits on the glass, but those can get expensive, so what I was wondering was whether or not low-light plants, such as anubias...

What if I bred him (my Cambodian red veil tail) with and orange pineapple plakat?

I have a very pretty red Cambodian veil tail betta. I wanted to breed him, and while have most of the research bumps worked out, I still have a few more questions before I get started, as I don't want to get into this before I know as much as possible. Right now, what confuses me is genetics. I...

Thanks for your reply, but I noticed too late. He died earlier today.

My betta's head is covered in white fuzzy stuff, including his eyes. I have read online but nothing seems exact! It's only his head and a bit if his gills, no where else. I was thinking it might be a bacterial something, and I read to lower the tank temp. And such... Right now I have him in a...

I am planning a low-tech planted tank. I will have anubias, java fern, and java moss or Christmas moss. Should I buy Eco complete for this? Will these plants actually benefit from it, seeing as none of them are actually 'planted'?

My pet store betta might have been inbred or something, I am not sure, but he is very small. He is a blue veil tail and it about and inch, including fins. Because of his size, he has trouble eating betta pellets, I have to crush them first. I was thinking that maybe a diet of live foods would be...

Oh, I have room, and especially for only one gallon jars. I wanted to buy them online because I like the rose-tail variety. I would only breed one pair, and Raja, my pet store betta, isn't very pretty. I adore him, and he has such a sweet personality, but his tail is... Thin, that's the only...

I am getting a 1.5 gallon betta tank, and when looking for heaters, most designed for small tanks are unreliable. I was thinking of an adjustable 50 watt heater, but would this heat it too high? It's adjustable and turns of when the required heat is reached, and turns back on when it needs it...
