well, I don't mean A HUGE fish. But an intresting "larger then average" fish. A few inches that lives by itself

what larger fish are friendly and fun to watch? I have one of those tall hex tanks. BIGGG FISHES

I think a larger tank would suit me much better, I don't mind throwing down the cash for a larger tank but they're just so expensive. Have many of you tried building a tank? Not even from a community standpoint but just a practical way to store these little monsters. I don't like leaving them...

I think that fifty gallons is awful exsessive. It's certainly easier but I think by creating 2 possibly 3 territories within the tank hoping that I can limit the males movement to the point where they're so satisfied with that envirment that they rarely leave that area. Coming up with a...

I was thinkin piranha :D :hyper: And I've done the female tank thing, it's nice and all but they just always seem to be waiting for a male, and all swarm to mate with the net when I put it in there. I was thinking 3 females for every male. Maybe four if I get a large enough tank.

I think I'm going to start with four fish and a ten gallon. Seeing as how they like swimming at the bottom or at the top, it makes alot more practical sense to use a longer tank instead of a taller one. Simplicity it seems will play a big role in my tank, since betta fish seem to enjoy that...

Fair is fair, I took what everyone said into consideration and I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the tank. The betta fish are isolated and while they are functioning less then in the tank I am noticing a better more natural mental health. While I'm still going to presue a community...

:thumbs: :D :S

I have stuff to do today, I said I'll post them tonight and I will. jeez. :dunno:

i didn't mean to sound rude, or to imply a lack of knowlege on germanlv's part. Infact I didnt even notice her post count. i don't appreciate people just saying things to say them, all she did was repeat the general consensus of what she read. I don't mind reading the same thing from diffrent...

I'm impressed with your INCREDIBLY thought out response. Seriously though, don't post meaningless dribble like that. You're only saying whats been said but in a way less constructive response. I'm betting you probably care about my lost betta fish less then you care about your own post count. I...

I was speaking of the process, not the loss of those fish. The original tank was too small and I was too rushed in my work, that was when the fatalities occured. The entire process itself is rather safe. Other then lack of impressive finnage and some lost scales, little damage was incured to the...

Wow, I stepped away for like not two hours. I'M SO HAPPY that there's such an intrest here, most people have little respect for what I've been trying to accomplish. I'll admit, I was unorothdox originally. i didn't have to health of the fish in mind, HOWEVER from my experiences and the losses of...

No, I'm just trying to collect stray nest. thanks for the advice though

Anyone have any good techniqes for moving the bubble nest around the tank by disturbing as little as possible?
