The victorian could be a Sp 44 but a Nyererei seems more likely because of all the red on the head. I guess when he colors up more you will know for sure. And if you still have the ones in the first post, the second silver female is a female Red Empress. I have one :/ was supposed to be a male.

Blah cant find my pump put two hang on the backs rated for 60g each on there plus the fx5 is for 400 gallons I mean they should have enough freakin oxygen. I did another water change turned off lights temp says 80. I don't know what else to do I have to go. God speed fish.

Horrible picture I know. I cannot remember the name I said it the whole way home but no.... it's gone. Something deep. M..... "deep" $12.99 Anywho please help :) he's starting to get a black dorsal and the rest of his body is solid yellow, just the two stripes on the face.

He is about 3in now, fat as fat can be and seems to be getting uglier. He showed a lot of promise when I first got him at about 1.5in. As of now he is just silver with a horizontal black stripe and some blue flecks in the face. My last red had started coloring up by now. Any thoughts?

My female peacock's mouth gets very triangle shaped, like a pelican I guess is the best way to describe it. I wondered if mine was holding too then one day she was doing kind of a rolling motion with her mouth adjusting and a baby popped out! It was so exciting. Never saw any of them, I'm pretty...

I haven't had much problem with flash on the glass, they show up dark when the fish are at the back of the tank. I turn up the iso but don't notice much difference I have a telephoto zoom I have to stand across the freakin room to take a picture it's annoying, the default lens and another...

Sony A200 dslr. Have 3 lenses that I'm still trying to figure out. You can see some are dark and some are blurry. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon!

Name Ideas? And the one I bought for my friend. We named him Butters b/c I brought him to her in a I can't believe it's not butter! container lol

Also, he couldn't have caught it on anything b/c I don't keep any decor in my hm tanks for that reason. Just gravel or sand.

My melafix is the concentrated stuff for ponds, 5ml per 50 gallons. I so it would be 0.10ml for a 1 gallon tank and that is what I used. I will do a water change when I get home from work. Can anyone give info on why melafix is harmful to bettas?

Do you guys think his tail is blown, or is this tail rot? Not that it makes much difference the treatment is pretty much the same. I already cleaned the tank, added salt and melafix. Anything else? Just noticed this yesterday. Sorry about picture quality
