habitat

Hi guys! I got a new betta over the weekend, and currently he is living in a 1 gal jar, while I set up his new home. I have another betta and he is in a 5 gal with gravel, but I don't reaaaally love the look of it. I was thinking of getting sand but I was told it gets dirty and it shows. Can...

Hello! We just got our very first Betta fish about 2 weeks ago. He was such a happy little guy. But, in the last three days his tail fin has begun fraying. I noticed the plastic tree stump in his tank was rather sharp, so I took that out immediately and it seems to have helped a lot. His fins...

I grabbed a pack of the glow-in-the-dark ceramic moonstone that Wal-mart carries today! Wanted to check them out, and saw an old, old thread that said they were working out well! From multiple people, no chipping of bubbling in the paint and stuff. Are they still a good quality item..? The...

Ever since school's started up again, I've had to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. When I sleep, I don't like any lights on, but I'm afraid this is affecting my betta. I wake up at 6:30-7 am. It's light out, and I open the blinds slightly so some sunlight comes in. Then, I don't get home...

Betta from Thailand coming tomorrow. Do you guys think my tank looks ok? It is 5 gallon. ty. http://i.imgur.com/Vu2cCWW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gcAuhdX.jpg

I have my Betta that I love and has been living with me for almost three years, and have had him various tanks. My latest tank has been a large stemless snifter (brandy glass looking) vase? It holds up to around a gallon. This was an upgrade from the generic plastic betta tank that he resided...

So, I recently received my very first betta for my birthday. I have a 10-gallon tank at home that I was more than happy to work with (get filter, heater, the whole shebang), but the lady at the pet store told my mother and I that the 10 gallon wasn't good enough and that he needed a smaller...

I ordered some red cherry shrimp online that were supposed to be sent to my boyfriend's house. I live in a college dorm so I didn't want them to have to go through the school's mail room and I also wasn't sure how my bettas would react to them. But... stupid me accidentally sent them to... MY...

I was considering one if those bio-orb tanks. The rectangle shaped ones that comes with everything (fake flora,rocks,filter,etc) believe its called bioorb flow I was wondering if anyone has one and could tell me how good quality they are and if they look good in an apartment or are a bit over done

I have finally been able to upgrade my fish's tank up to a 5.5 gallon (yay!). I've had him for about three weeks in a bowl half the size which he didn't love, but it was a temporary solution.:-? I made sure to have a couple live plants and a smooth hiding place, heater, and did regular water...

Hello, fellow betta fish peoples! :P I'm VERY new to betta fish and actually just ordered my very first betta fish from a breeder. He is gorgeous and has an over half moon tail. I'm expecting him to arrive soon, and I want to have my tank set up and ready for him when he arrives. I have a 5...

My little guy bit his tail a few weeks ago. Since he has never had a tail-biting habit before, and hasn't done it since, I assume he is lonely (It was around the time my brother's betta died, he was in a separate tank but they knew of each other). He is in a half gal quarantine tank currently...

Hi there! I have two bettas and they live in a bowl and a tall vase without any kind of heater. I used to have another betta that lived for three years in a vase without a heater. My question is, do I absolutely need a heater? And if so, do I have to buy a tank for them that has one? What should...

Hey everyone, So I'm new to this forum but I decided to come here for some advice on making a new habitat. I converted an old ten gallon tank into a plant terrarium, and I think that it would be really cool to add a small betta habitat to add to the atmosphere. What should I do to get started...

Hey people just looking for a bit of advice again. Im finally finished with the main tank set up and cycling in atticipation for getting a lovely Crown Tail betta. Juest wanted a final bit of help with making his tank perfect for his arrival. Whats a good food for him as well i have blood...

Hello, I was considering buying the Biorb, but after reading several reviews, decided it wouldn't be worth it. Apparently, it's poor quality for the amount of money it costs. I would really appreciate any suggestions on a tank that offers the following features: 1) Reasonably priced $75...

Setting up a Betta Biotope So, my first betta just passed. In his memory I decided to set up a biotope in his now vacant 10 gallon tank for my next betta. I already have a heater and a filter in this tank and I am working on replacing the water and cleaning everything up. Currently, the tank...

So, Cryo currently lives in a filtered 2.5. He's got a case of SBD that I can't seem to shake, so he doesn't really use the space he has, and it's a challenge to get him fed because he has to come to the surface and sit on one of the structures to get at the food. I put him in a little...

Hello all. I am a new betta owner. I have a red veiltail male, I bought him a little over three weeks ago. His name is Mongkut... yes, as in the King of Siam in 'The King and I.' I purchased a very nifty 1.8 gallon bowl with a built-in filter and light at WalMart. He has adjusted to the water...

Hi All - Posted a while back about my fish, Goliath and Gallimimus, who constantly bounce back and forth between healthy and nearly finless due to rot despite water changes, heaters, attempted filtration, etc. Goliath is a crowntail and Gallimimus is a veiltail. We recently adopted a halfmoon...
