I saw this on a different forum and I thought it might fit here! The questions to post here are not big enough to post as a new thread, so if it is just a 'Quick Question', you post it here.
Quick Question:
How long does it take before betta eggs hatch?
I use Hikari Bio Gold for the girls in my sorority, especially Zippity since she's so tiny. Kinda pricey in comparison with other pellets, but worth it. Also, Aqua-Culture Betta Pellets are pretty small.
Any of the attinson's products have small pellets. Also NLS betta pellets are small.
A fish is a marble if it changes color at all. There is red loss which is something different but on any color fish a marble is one that gains or loses color. Butterflies are also a form of marble that don't change color.
Two weeks is the farthest I'd recommed going with out food. Even then the betta's immune system starts to be lowered. Technically a healthy betta could go a month without food. (NOT RECOMMENDED)

What is "red loss"? Caye keeps changing colors from completely Lava to Rosewood with his head black and then back again to just Lava (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Shades_of_red). I don't suspect he is a marble since he is consistently red, since both colors are shades of red, but should I be concerned? I thought it might be stress but the changes seem too random... ;-)
When my betta is swimming, he'll act normal, but then occasionally, he randomly spazzes and swims really quickly in a zig-zag, then returns to swimming normaly. Should I be worried?
If the gravel passes the vinegar test (i.e. does not fizz when soaked in vinegar), then properly disinfected with potassium permanganate, then rinsed very, very well...then no it wouldn't affect the water parameters.
cycling is the introduction of the nitrogen cycle, and the establishment of good bacteria into the tank. Basically the ammonia becomed converted to nitrItes, then the nitrItes become converted to nitrAtes. Nitrates are less harmful in low, constant meters than ammonia or nitrites.
I have had my betta for a week and a half. I am a fish/betta noob. The top of his bowl has a mass of bubbles - what is it? Dirty Water? I just replaced 50% the other day.
If so, it is a Bubblenest! This means your betta is ready to breed. You don't have to breed, but this is a sign that the betta fish has reached maturity.
Wow! That totally dwarfs Mr. T's lil bubbles! Your fish is very pretty too! I can not seem to get a good clear photo of mine yet either. >=\ My photo doesnt do him justice - he would be horrified.
