Gave Phoenix an Epsom Salt bath last night (thank you for the information all), and while he seemed annoyed at me for moving him, he was not looking sick-upset (if that makes sense). There was not much in the way of information on acclimating between a bath and his tank, so while he got dropped...

*bump* Looking for more information on what someone had recommended for Epsom Salt. The lfs had no idea what I was talking of, and a few stores locally only had the lavender/green tea type bath salts. I have continued to starve them :( for a few days now, and they are not getting any worse...

I didnt know about the recall, but let me tell you that those betta bites hit the can SO fast. The other betta food we have is the TetraMin "The Rich Mix", and I realized that I have not been feeding Spaz (Unaffected) the Betta Bites as much as the other boys. I did another water change but...

B)-->QUOTE(Lynda B @ Jul 18 2007, 11:44 AM) 1695950 Just one pea each. Don't give them the garden. I dont know that they would even take as much as a single pea to each of them. :) Mix of Betta Bites and some color-enhancing pellets. Same thing the GF feeds hers (Marge, Jean-Luc, Caspian...

Images from the past - Phoenix: MZ: Mind you these are pics from a while ago, and they show no indication of swollen belly. I can see if they are willing to let me take a pic of them later to see how visual the change is. I will try to feed them both shelled peas only. Luckily, I keep a...

B)-->QUOTE(Lynda B @ Jul 18 2007, 11:19 AM) 1695905 Are they male or female? Any chance you're just looking at very eggy females? I am pretty sure they are male, as they do flare from time to time. Let me see if I can dig up some pics of them from the past. :D

Heyo all, Recently, I have noticed that 2 of my bettas are getting a swollen white-ish belly (Phoenix and MZ), but another one is not (Spaz). This seems to be localized to just the 2 of them, and not any of the other fish. None of mine GF's bettas are showing anything of the same, and it seems...

MZ likes to hide in his 6.5gal tank where I cant see him. Since moving things around to give better hiding spots to the Otto Cats in the tank with him, they all have places to hide that I cant see any of them. Color me worried... Caspian likes to build huge bubble nests on the top right side of...

Been sitting quietly in the background for a while, and I saw someone mention looking for more betta photos. So with little more ado, here is a few of mine (& the GF's) Bettas: MZ: Marge: Buttercup: Current Tank Setup: All tanks are in US Measurements. MZ is mine, while Marge and...

Hey Folks. Am here on a potentially bad note. My male VT (A deep blue betta nicknamed MZ) has not been eating, and not been his usual self. I had changed the filter in his 2gal tank a day or so previous, and then I noticed his change in demeanor. Rather then swim to the top to get food, he...

To address the most questions asked: The tank is indeed filtered. When I initially got MZ, it was just in a basic bowl, but quickly decided he would probably be happier with a little more room, plants, and space. :) That is good to know about the companionship. I have been trying to find...

Hey all :) Been reading through the forums, and learning quite a bit, but nothing beats asking a question directly. But to open with a story: I have a Male Betta (Name of MZ) in a 2.5gallon tank. I have tried a few times to get tank mates for him, but I do not know what I may be doing wrong. I...
