My new fish Frisk lives in a 1 gallon Micro Bow1, with a filter (which we put a suppressor over), a decoration shaped like a vase (smooth edges), and a plant (not sure the name but it goes well with the bowl). My fish's color has been improving immensely since we got him, and since he is a...

I just bought a new betta about 5 days ago. He lives in a 2.5-gallon tank with a lava rock, a fake plant, and some live moss. I disinfected the water before putting him in, and I let him get adjusted to the new water before I added him. I added a heater to his tank setup about 2 days ago when I...

I have enjoyed bettas for 2 1/2 years since caring for my daughter-in-law's elderly betta (Pink Floyd) when she and our son moved. Although I registered only today, this forum has been invaluable in helping me to provide the best home for these special fish (and I am still learning). Thank you...

Yay!!! So I was looking on pet store sites, Petland, Petsmart, Big Al's, Pisces Exotic Pets. When someone on one of my other threads, said I should look at Kijiji and Craigslist. So I did that. I was planning on buying a 5 gal tank from Big Al's for $50, but thought to wait and see what I could...

OK, listened to all the advice and went out and got a 5 gallon tank some eye candy and Bubbles is set!:lol:

Right now my betta is in my quarantine tank (I had some problems with shrimp eating and right temperatures...) but this is a temporary solution. He clearly can't stay all his life in there.. Ive been saving for a new (second hand) tank, but its taking really long.. maybe just too long for my...

Hello everyone. As I posted before I have put my two fish into a split 10 gallon tank from two vases (approx 3-4 gallons each). Pinkman- my CT was very.. "flarey" from the day I got him. He will flare in his new home too- only if he sees his reflection or if he sees a glimpse of his room mate...
