Thank you so much Rainbo!

Thank you also for moderating such a wonderful site for betta and other fish lovers to come to. I have rec'd such good advice and reassurance and also I apologize for not replying earlier as i have been offline (sick).

I will check out the links and wow, your 20 gallon tank must be gorgesous.

I will take a look. Thanks again for everything! Dehlia

Wow, really? I never have met another person with my same name and spelling!! That's so cool. Mine is a halfmoon blue/turquoise betta fish. He's doing much better than when I first was here. I have learned so much from this forum. The Petsmart fish 'experts' have given me some not so great advice. But now i know what he needs and don't overfeed and his lovely fins are growing back. My mystery snail is ginormous now. At least 2.5 inches in length when he's stuck to the tank wall. he just had his first parboiled cucumbers which he worked on for hours. He's so happy and he and my little fish Bijou seem to totally love each other. I am relieved that my betta does not harm the snail or bite his antenna as I have heard some bettas can do that. Maybe because they were both tiny babies when I got them, that they are growing up as unlikely friends or siblings lol.
