hmm I haven't tried salt or anything. I have to go get some dechlorinating stuff for his tank though, I'm out of it :( He is breathing a little bit differently, and he keeps his mouth a little bit open most of the time (whereas he used to keep it more closed) How much salt should I put in if...

Hi! My betta fish Marvin, almost a year old now, got knocked out of his tank last week by the cats :blink: he was extremely lucky because he landed in a puddle of the water in a safe place; if he hadn't he wouldn't even be here right now. (This happened a couple of weeks ago) what REALLY...

well okay.. I doubt my betta is lonely. But he's definitely kind of bored. I am going to be moving him to a fairly big tank, and I was considering putting in some other little fish with him.. I did some research and found a site that says that I can possibly add angelfish, platies, mollies...

Hi, I am new to this site, just registered because I thought you might be able to help me out.. I am thinking of buying a betta. I have picked out a small tank(gravel included), a bottle of water de-chlorinating liquid, some special betta food and a plant for his little home.. Also, I need...
