What would you do with a 40g tank?

[Sena Hansler]

LOL. I think mine needs to learn to SHHHhhhhHHH >< lol.
And on the subject of employees... I was told betta fish breeding is easy.

Well it isn't rocket science no... but it isn't easy either xDD

[emeraldsky]

From what I'm readin on here, its doesnt seem hard, just time consuming.

Plus, I lack the room and proper tool to care for them so I dont think it's for me X3




Mine needs to learn that too, he just has it down on the topic of fish LOL

[Sena Hansler]

LOL!! xD yeah mine is a know-a-lot :p except he hasn't owned fish... other than his mum has goldies in a nice tank. But uh.... yeah. No. I own the bettas. I researched the heck out of everything xDD sure they can stand living in small, dark, cold spaces. But I don't think my bf will let me show him how that would feel xD (be inside a cold kiddie pool, not allowed to get out and there is no light?) and I don't think I'd want that lol.

I plan on getting the tank Saturday, making the dividers later that day, letting the aquarium sealant cure for 2 days, set up the tank on monday then go shopping on tuesday when petco AND petsmart will be getting their shipments of bettas

>:3

Ooohhh betta shopping after a new shipment. Nice! I would be like a kid in a candy store lol. Of course I would tell myself no I don't have room and then go home and be miserable! I try to stay away when I can. Haha. OMG I was at petsmart last week and some little kid ran around the store with a betta cup and shook it like crazy! The mom was like oh no sweetie, don't touch that. But of course he didn't listen. Ugh I just got out of there before I have a spaz at the kid. Just needed to post that somewhere it was driving me crazy!

[Sena Hansler]

woow >< that poor betta

-watches my betta beat up a fly in his water- .... I think he's the kid shaking the cup.

@Sena Hansler

Same here, he's generally very informed on random things, but fish is my hobby, so I know a ton about it, and I love researching them X3

Also lol!
Maybe I'll threaten my BF with that next time he smarts off to me XD



@BlackberryBetta
LOL YES!
I called both places to make sure when they would be getting the new fish, its sad though, my petsmart doesnt carry female bettas anymore >:C

aw, poor betta D:
I totally would have taken that one home after that, he probably needed a LOT of TLC after that ordeal D:

[Sena Hansler]

xDD

I kind of wish the pet store here didn't sell females... not very many people want them.

[emeraldsky]

I'm glad my petco does, or else id be SOL on them lol

My other LPS only had one, very sad looking female, im half tempted to go and pick her up so she wont be the last one ;A;

[Sena Hansler]

dawwwww
yeah that's how I got my 4 "little" girls (now huge xDDD)... because they were there for what... 2 months? no one wanted them. their bowls were... -shudder- filthy! and they were so lethargic ;( now they are happy :)

[emeraldsky]

My Petco generally does a good job of taking care of them, the water is usually pretty clear

Though they do have a few dead ones I saw last time :C

Hopefully I can rescue a few of them ^^





Hmmm I should probably look into how many girls I can get for a 20 gallon tank, since I plan on splitting mine in half o3o
