I've had an idea. I want to blog, and to put as much information as possible in it as to the care, maintenance, treatment, breeding, etc. on betta's.
What I need, is a small bit of help. I have 5 betta's. I have pics of them....but nothing else! If anyone is okay with "donating" pics that I can use of their betta, spawns, tanks, etc. I'd really appreciate it. I want to make this the best I can, and while information is fairly easy to gather pictures are a bit more difficult; I don't like using without consent either. >.< If I can use some or all of your pics, just let me know?
I plan to get some pictures of my new sorority when I find my camera, and you are more than welcome to use that! I also have a male betta with ripped fins being treated, do you want day-by-day pictures of that?
End of day 1: Moved into a one gallon tank with a teaspoon of aquarium salt, camera phone picture so bad quality, but you can see the fin damage for sure...
Definitely make sure you have a person's permission before posting their pictures or words. I once saw a post I'd written posted on someone's website and I was NOT happy about it. Especially since I was not asked for permission to quote my words... straight up plagiarism.
Yup. I'm on an art website, so I'm very careful to ask permission. I would hate if something of mine were stolen, so I try to be just as fair. I appreciate all the help I've received so far, keep 'em coming!
Littlebettas; if you can get a better shot of the fin rot, cool, if not I'll use that one. Either way I really appreciate all the shots you just posted
Ok, heres the best I can get, he has NO fins but he has figured out how to much by wiggling, and he LOVES to wiggle, lol, he doesnt have a name yet so if you have an idea let me know
(taken with my cell, I get better pics wth natual light so I may try again in the morning)
Yeah, I think Jazz learned the hard way not to get through his divider...thank god he's so submissive and the only damage he has is a badly ripped anal fin...but it is a VERY good point not to try and keep males together. The male that did that to him went back to petsmart and now I have three girls XP
One thing I would like to see there is male/female compatability, because I see a lot of mixed reviews on it. SOme people say if you have X number of females in X sized tank with one male it could work, others say don't even try it...anyone else have experience with this?
My Jazz was in with my {RIP} female Alma and they were fine together. No thought of spawning, nothing. No picking, shared food, fine. But that's the only time I've seen that.
Also; while I'm thinking of it, what all would you guys like to see in the blog?
I'll have sections for general care, feeding, breeding, diseases....what else?
Yeah, that could cause issues but the male is so submissive, I swear he thinks he's a girl XP I think the biggest worry I would have is Horizon (the alpha) beating him up...
He does (assuming you mean Chile, lol), he wont eat with people around, i have to drop a pellet in, run off all the lights and run, I had his tank set up in the living room and he was doing really well (he actually like my dog who presses her nose up against the tanks to watch)
I had to move him though because one of my other dogs open his tank and stole one of the plants, shes a semi-feral mutt and makes NO sense
And yeah, I meant Chile. lol. My new guy was the same way this afternoon. I had to drop his food in and go. But it's cause he's still timid. New surroundings and all.
