Thanks. That's a relief, I guess. As I said he's very aggressive. He was going crazy about the nerite snail for a full 36 hours. Flaring and attempting to bite his shell. The snail is fine and completely left alone now. He also gets agitated every time I get close to the tank. You think all...

Hello! I recently picked up a new Betta, he seemed very active in the shop, good colour, and bright eyes. He's been very active in his new tank. He was incredibly aggressive towards a nerite snail resident when he first went in, but thankfully he ignores him now. Shortly after I got him home I...

when you say surprised...will they be dead on the floor/floating, or will the parents eat them?

oh dear, I'm just realising I may have bitten off more than I can chew with these guys. I never imagined they would spawn so easily and frequently!

It sounds like I have a few weeks before it gets ugly, but really what can I do? Can I give them away when I take them out of the tank at 4 weeks? How big will they...

It looked more like token aggression rather than anything to really worry about. Only did it while the fry...

Well, I waited a month and so the other fish were fine. Added 5 more T. Hengeli, waited another month, no problems. 2 weeks ago I added a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides, today I have a ton of free swimming fry!! Will post in a separate thread about them, but no idea what to do now!
