Help! My poor betta's been getting his fins shredded! I did some research when it first started happening and I think the part was because some of the decorations had some edges that were sharper than I thought, plus a broad leafed plastic plant that can be pointy from the sides of the leaves...

Hi all, I've got a little 6 gallon tank that I'd really like to add some sort of pleco or other algae eater to, but I'm not sure if there are any that would stay small enough. I've got a betta and two african dwarf frogs already. I'd like to add one male frog as well since both of my current...

So why breed them in a 20g tank instead of the bigger growout tank? Because the grow out tank might have bettas maturing in it still? Or is it because theres too much room in the growout tank :blink: ?

I wasn't looking into it for the profit, I just wanted to make sure I wouldnt have lots of babies that I didnt have anyone to care for :blush: Its good to hear that its not a HUGE money drain in the end though, since as much as I love fishies, I can't dump huge amounts of cash into it until I...

Yep, I'm just dreaming and playing with ideas so far. Its fun to research about it :) I understand how to separate them out while they're growing, but it sounds like everyone manages to find friends/family/buyers as long term homes for them once they've grown up a bit. The idea of finding homes...

One thing thats been bugging me as I read about all the lil' fry everyone's getting and such, is where does everyone find homes for them all :blink: ? If a single spawn can get you upwards of 150 wrigglers, how do you find so many homes and be able to continue breeding after? I'm curious since...

We dont have any nearby Walmarts for me, but I have seen Petsmarts... It makes me sad every time I see them :( Petco is a little better, same size containers but at least they're not stacked on top of each other in shelves so that the back ones are completely in the dark... The petco ones are...

Phew, that makes me feel better, I don't like having to mess with the pH so much :) My parent's had a lot of tetras, platys, and sword tails in their tanks which usually prefer 6.8-7.0 (or so we were told), so they always freaked if we saw the pH end up in the upper 7s... I'll try the Indian...

Okay, so I thought my 6 gal tank was cycled... All the levels looked right, PH was at 7.2, slightly over where I like to keep tanks (I usually aim for 7.0), but not unreasonable. I decided to try adding a couple of lil dwarf frogs to make sure everything would stay that way once the betta I got...

The seller had 200+ comments on him, all positive, so I'm hopeful! It'd be a shame to see a beauty like that come all sick... I need to stock up on yummy food for him too, so I'll pick up all the meds at the same time! Now I just need a spot to keep all this stuff where my kitten wont get into...

Thanks :D ! Yeah, I saw him on aquabid and just drooled... Hes so gorgeous it makes me want to learn how to breed them and see what pretty babies he'd father! Must do more research first though :)

Finally finished decorating the lil 6 gallon tank! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9767...p;id=1006569365 No fishies just yet, but I fell in love with this lil guy on Aquabid and bought him from Zephyrnyc: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9767...p;id=1006569365 I can't wait for him...

Ahh, thanks! That pic really helps. I didnt even think about leaving gravel out, that would make it easier to clean... Good stuff to keep in mind :) My little 6 gallon tank is just about done cycling, should be ready in a day. My fiancee talked me into sticking to one betta before jumping...

That does add some color to the tank :) ! Hows the filter handle all the dividers? Is it overpowered for the tank size, or do the filters not affect it much? Also, does it seem to get algae and gunk on the sides faster, or about the same?

Oooo, I like this "Similar topics" thingy thats at the bottom of each topic... Makes me feel silly for asking the same question that's apparently been asked before, but I found a link someone posted that had all the details :blush: http://www.petfish.net/tank_dividers.htm Neon pink dividers...
