Thank you so much. Perhaps I can think about one of those when my alien betta is no more in my 38 gal nano fish aquarium. There is a long established amphipod colony already thriving in that aquarium too.

I don’t have anywhere to put another tank. Even if I could figure out where to put one, I think my husband would have a fit. I’m lucky to have the 6 currently. The hospital tank gets set up on the kitchen counter, when needed, and that pushes it all as far as possible at my house.

Thank you for your reply Gary E. I’m going to refrain from acquiring one for now. If the 3 gallon ended up being too confiding for the little guy, I could move him to a larger aquarium, but not while I have a betta in my 38 gallon, and not into my 29 gallon with one full grown angel fish...

Thank you so much for replying to me poking around online. I did see one person who kept theirs in a 4 gallon tank, but it might’ve been a rectangular tank and not a cube tank. I do know that a larger footprint is often more beneficial. I’ve always been drawn to these little fishes and maybe...

Do we have anyone here who keeps scarlet badis (dario dario)? Are these fish known to be jumpers? Please let me hear from those who keep or have kept this fish and not from helpful others who google tank size and then come at me saying 10 gallons is the recommended minimum. Dan's Fish has...

Just posting another update to say all is still going well with this betta and his tankmates. He definitely has places where nobody else hangs out and nobody seems to be getting picked on. I still spend a lot of time sitting by this tank, sipping my coffee, watching the happenings. Here is a...

I agree. I also exercise my betta with a mirror each day, ever since I heard about students who exercised one group of bettas and not the other group, and in the group that was exercised, those fish lived to be nine years old whereas the other group lived nowhere near as long. It was discussed...

I believe it because I’m on week three with a betta in a 5 1/2 gallon aquarium, and the water still shows zero ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

Amphipods have live young, just like neocaridina shrimp do. Snails have not been detrimental to my scud colonies whether I keep everyone in a mason jar or in a fish inhabited aquarium. Just an FYI. I’ve also kept lots of snails in my shrimp tanks where I also have copepods and nothing...

I would say go get your betta! I would love to see pics too. I got the urge for a betta about 6 months ago. I hadn’t had a betta in over 30 years. I brought him home and he’s been a joy to watch, feed and keep. Now I’ve also converted one of my four shrimp tanks into a betta tank, and I...
