Girls are oh-so-difficult to keep and maintain. Its worth it, i believe but its sooo hard. They are so easy to get attatched to and then its tough when you lose them.

That happens sometimes. There's not much you can do about it. Girls tend to know when another girl is weak and take advantage of it. Termini, my most recent Petco rescue was a beatiful CT girl. I lost her because she was heavy with eggs and i wasn't home over the weekend. She died and was...

I dont understand though. Rascal's got an ovipositor. I've looked repeatedly...

Here are some shots of Rascal. I pulled her(him?) from my tank to let my new girls adjust and i placed a mirror next to her just to see what happened. Not too much to my surprise, she (he?) flared but has got a biger flare than i've ever seen on a female. She's got an ovipositor so i figured...

Wow! I've actually been looking at getting one of those for my biggie, Rascal. When I move her into my sorority, i want to put my ADF's in there so i can see them better. Little hiding frogs lol. How does it work?

So, I started my first sorority today! Help me name my girls! Rascal, btw, is currently in another bowl until my girls grow some. Her history has me leery of adding her when they're so small still. One is a white bodied, red finned, looks to be VT girlie. I named her Mayberry. (Rascal...

Very much the norm. Trust me. I just got three beautiful girls to sorority. I keep freaking out because i haven't unseparated them yet and they're already duking it out. It makes me so nervous but i know its natural. I really should have goten them during the week so i would have been at...

I dont see the harm in it. Rascal currently eats both betta pellets and tropical flakes, and i've seen no problem in her. Of course, my molly Dezzi also eats both. Really, there's been no harm in either of them so go ahead.

My dear black Molly, Othello,is slowly passing away. I'm leaving him in my tank so he can die in comfortable conditions. He just cannot live without his left fin and barely moves. There's not much more i can do for him. I love you, my dear Othello.

Yes, as long as your other fish lack colour, they'll be fine. Rascal, (my female) will not attack my whiteish dalmation baloon molly Dezzi. However, she does attack my black one Othello. I believe its a color problem. Therefore, get muted colored fish.

Let me recap what has happened first: A few weeks back I added Rascal, a female betta, to my 5 gal with Othello and Dezzi (molly-boys). For a while they co-existed quite well, but soon i found that Othello had been nipped at by Rascal and i went out to get a small tank to keep him in. When i...

Now now. Rascal has the elongated bottom fin, but she's also got a white ovipositor. I've not seen her flare,even at rascal, and she coexists fine with Dezzi...although she does chase him about. I'm quite sure she's a female. I was concerned for a while that she was a male, but that...

My mollies even eat the betta pellets i feed for Rascal...xD! So now Rascal eats thier flakes too! I keep a small concetration of "Conditioning Salt" in my tank (usually about 1/4 of a tablespoon in the gallon that i change water with.) and my molly-boy (Dezzi) and Rascal are bth doing well...

LOL! I name everything! Even my fish. I had a mischevious, Mr. Bubbles, Taper, Phantom, Mei and Kor etc... Currently, i have Othello and Dezzi (Dezdemona) named after the two characters in Othello, which I saw at the Globe in London this summer. And I have Rascal, because i saw the Rascal...

Hey, i'm curious! How big is your female tank? I'm considering setting up a sorority someday...and i'm curious.
