So i picked up 2 bolivian rams today. The LFS assistant said that they were a male/female pair. But im not so sure. Niether fish has extended caudal and dorsal fins from what i can tell. They also seem to be 'locking lips' alot, and the fish in the 1st pic chases the other fish away...

IMHO a 15g is big enough to house at least 6 female bettas. As long as there are no other fish in the tank though, except for maybe an algae eater. The only ways to reduce the aggression between the females would be to do what has been said above. Otherwise the 2 most dominate females will...

Depending on what other fish are in the tank, i would go out and get some more female bettas. The finnage certainly looks to be that of a female. But as said above, make plenty of hiding places for them, lots of plants and 3 more females to spread the aggression out and everyone *should* be...

You shouldnt keep females with males unless your breeding them. There may be a chance that your female is a male plakat. Any chance of a pic? What size tank are the females in? Its recommended to have *at least* 5 females to spread out the aggression. But if you keep less that that you NEED to...

Hydor makes a 7watt Heater. Though i've heard it only heats the tank 2 or 3 degrees. Your best bet would be to upgrade the tank and get a 25w heater.

Not sure they sell that brand in australia. And we dont have wal-mart here either. Tank is a divided 4g. Filtered and heated. Not sure on tank stats. Only have a ph test kit :blush: bad i know. Test kits dont come cheap and my parents think they're a waste of money :angry: Is there any other...

I was looking at my 2 beautiful bettas today and noticed that both of them have got white spots on them. Im assuming this is ich as they look like tiny grains of salt and look much like pictures i have seen of fish with ich. They are currently housed in a divided 4 gallon that is heated and...

lol its ok. I didnt get offended. Just kinda shocked i guess. I am strongly against dying fish though. When i saw him in the shop i remebered that i had seen some posted somewhere else and that they were dalmation bettas? Anyway, he flared before so i was able to see his fins properly. He has...

I highly doubt this fish has been died :blink: . My camera is out of action at the moment. I'll try and find a similar pic on the net somewhere. Okies i found some pics. My betta is very similar in colour and has the same colour spots as the bettas in these pics I found the pic of the HM here

Ugh so i got up thismorning, put the tank light on and the CT had gone to the other side again! My VT was just sitting in the bottom corner again still breathing thank goodness! I dont think there is much more damage to his fins. I think i'll attach a piece of hard plastic to the top of the...

Goodevening everyone (depending where you r ofcourse) :D Ok so i picked up a new male vt betta today. Hes a yellow colour with some red dots on his fins. So i had a bit of an incident this evening after being in his new home for a couple of hours i decided to check on him and to my suprise...

Nope it wasnt red. It was the colour of whatever she had been eating. I know that might sound strange since she was really skinny. But she was eating little bits of flake whenever i fed the other fish. It was just last night that she was refusing to eat. Even if the food was touching her mouth...
