I'll try and get a clear picture but I don't have a good camera.   I feed them once a day, don't think I overfeed as I'm careful not to put much in and scoop any uneaten, but thought he might be eating more than his share.  Was thinking of doing a day without food a week because I have heard...

Hi, I'm sure I've seen a post here with photos that showed healthy vs over-weight Bettas, but I can't find it, can anyone help?   I lost my first Betta, poor Freddie, though he appeared healthy and was happily blowing bubble nests right before we lost him.  Still miss him :( Several weeks after...

Good luck!

Hi, welcome :)

Thanks, I really like him. He has had a little explore but is hiding up top by the filter a lot at the moment.  Thinking his own cave would be best as the Corys have already claimed under the rock and the other arch in it is a little too small for him - he's tried it.  They're supremely...

A purply-blue olour with red fins.  Very handsome fella named Freddie as in Queen ;) Only got him yesterday so hes very new and still shy.  Mostly eyeing his reflection :( but has had a little explore around the tank.  Hoping he'll settle in well, might have to buy him a little cave structure.  ...

hope you have fun ;)

LOL buy one, you know you want to ;)

Thats good to know thanks.  They do go back to them fairly quickly but I was worried they'd not be getting the nutriants.. by them soaking. Cute though; they've herded them all together a few times until they're ready.

Hi Welcome :)

Hey,   So I've not had fish for two weeks, water tests are good so it was cycled correctly :D and the fish seem happy.   I tried putting some Courgette in for them but it got all slimey, bloated looking and clogged my filter - was wondering what I might have done wrong, should I have cooked it...

I got mine from Maidenhead Aquatics, I've found them good.  Not got much confidence in the local Pets at Home. You probably don't want an Assasin snail then!...or at least not to look too closely into how they feed.   The problem is they populate a tank so quickly, I can't kill them directly...

I like it with the sand :)   I added Cory's to my tank today, busy little things and they're loving the sand, my two Assasins have are almost completely buried now they're not impressed with them, but happy to steal their food-pellets.  Your Assasin looks like he's on a mission there.   LOL...

  Thanks :D  far better than the telly ;) Thanks, I need to buy a new camera but settled for nicking hubby's phone not a fancy one but better than mine.

He's definitely had one, I saw him sliding up to one but it was behind a moss ball befire that he was doing curcuits of the tanks but then he was content and settled in the sand.  I was surprised by how small they are.
