okay well thankyou!

are filters required is my question..? will they help a lot more of the babies live?

Hello everyone.. its been a while since my last post... the baby brine shrimp worked out great.. however im STILL having bettas die... I bought a test kit with strips... although i'm not sure how to use it, and i'm not sure what could be going wrong.... I was thinking of getting sponge filters...

looks so nice!

they looks like platys to me! ( the small guys with the dark tails) ! had LOTS of them and only started with 3... with all the plants you have lots of babies will survive! I love the setup! congrats:)

so I have a few questions about the brine shrimp.. how will I know when they hatched and when to take the air stone out? do I need to feed them? I have have egg yolk I read I should feed them.. boiled and then strained... HELP

I had that happen.. later found out it was swim bladder :$

Thankyou!

A 5 gallon is very small for MANY fish.... let alone that many that will grow to such a large size... neons are EXTREMELY active and prefer big schools... my suggestion would be to consider upgrading to a 20 gal OR returning the fish and going for something less active... guppies can basically...

Ive successfully housed neon tetras with one of my males in a ten gallon... HOWEVER not all males are laid back... my trick was I put a small castle into the tank, giving the betta some territory... he was older and tended to hangout near the bottom more, where as the neons were all over the...

Looks like a nice setup! I breed bettas, and have never HAD to use a filter in order to keep them alive... it just means more water changes on your part.

that's exactly what I read! but I wasn't 100 percent sure sense other sources said other wise! thankyou:)

So... I read online on how to make my own infusoria cultures.. the water has turned foggy.. some sites say that it can be fed when foggy and others say to wait until it clears up.. any advice?

sword tails are nice! I only have bettas atm... I breed them... but I had blue gouramis! they were a nice addition but be careful of aggression! goodluck!
