Bubble nests are a sign that your Betta is very happy and even getting a little bit "ready" for a female! (or a male) :blush: :wub: and its so cute when you actually watch them doing it! Hehe... Mine did it all the time! :good:

Thanks Liz. No i cant make the tank into one, but Ill keep an eye on Neo. :-(

What does epson salt do?

Yeah but the tank is split into 3 sections, so they can fight each other though the glass. They were not all in together! The pet shop sell the fish in containers a third the size of one section of our tank, so how come they live?

Until Friday Night, we had 3 fighters. Homer, Squirt & Neo. One of our fighter's (Homer) died last Monday, and on Friday night, Squirt died. They both had similar symptoms. Firstly Homer was swimming erradically for a week so, darting to the top of the tank for air then resting on the bottom and...

One of our fighter's died last week. He was swimming erradically for a week so we got him some parasite medication, but then he developed a lump in his bladder. I thought it was swim bladder so we fasted him for 2 days, then fed him again cause he was not getting any better then 2 days later he...

Thanks guys, but he never flares. I have noticed in the last day that he has a bulge (only a small one) on each side of his body. Maybe it is swim bladder? We bought him some medication for parasites yesterday which i hope helps cause he is darting around a lot too.

Can anyone help me with my Betta? I have had him for about a month. He usually just swims around, rarely on the bottom and is very happy. The last 3 or 4 days, he has been floating on the bottom for long periods of time and not moving, sometimes not even appearing to be breathing! As soon as I...

Ok now for my next question.... What are the personality differences between veil tails & crown tails? Because Homer & New are total guts's with their food, and Squirt never eats! I mean i have never seen him eat in the 3 weeks we have had him and the dried blood worms sit in the top of the...

Thanks guys! And introducing.... Neo! Is he a veiltail too? Cheers :good:

Hey guys, I said I would put up pics of the boys, here they are! Homer and Squirt (in that order) I am yet to get a pic of Neo. Sorry bout the bad quality, they were taken on a camera phone :blink: Can anyone tell me what type of fighters they are? Cheers

I have a tank that is about 50cm long and 15 cm wide. It is seperated into 3 sections and we have 3 fighters. Wanting to know what types of decorations i can put in there by way of plants etc? We have yellow stones already in each section. Cheers
