Hello, not sure where this goes so if it's in the wrong section sorry!! I want to put the sea shells I have found into some of my freshwater tanks for decoration. How do I treat/coat them so they are safe for my tank??  

I have 3 cory cats, 2 frogs, 3 dwarf gourami, 5 balloon belly mollies, 4 Dalmatian mollies, and 1 female betta. Plenty of mouths! For now they just stare at the fry and try and nip at the sides. they are definantly still eating size lol. The betta practically stalks them.

I don't plan on keeping all the fry born lol, but these are my first so they are kinda special! Plus they are the only ones that i'm guaranteed are not mutts. I'm thinking that in a 5- 10 gallon I could just add fry as they come and move them into the main tank when I think the gourami, cory...

Thanks! I have them in the breeder box right now and am giving them finely crushed flakes.   If I got a 1.5 or 2 gallon would an airstone work or would I need to get a filter? I'm afraid of them getting caught up in the filter if I do get one.

Well I woke up, went to feed my fish, and found some molly fry swimming about! I quickly scooped out as many as I could find and have 8 so far. I believe they are from my Dalmatian that was prego when I got her.   Now - What do I do? I have them in one of those little breeder boxes that go in...

Have you ever bred balloon bellies before? I have a few and my one female is huge! But I have no idea when she will be ready to pop. Keeping my fingers crossed for yours!! I've bred guppies before but never mollies. Your girl is very pretty btw!

Working on the photos! And unfortunately my tank is fully stocked, so I don't think I'll get any more fish. My current corys aren't schooling =/ which is weird but they seem fine otherwise. As for the Gouramis - Day more than holds her own lol and they don't even mess with her. The Mollys are...

Well she and everyone else has survived the first night. I don't think she has picked out a territory yet, she is still just making her way all around the tank.

Thank you! I think I wont feed him tomorrow and see how he does. I gave everyone bloodworms today but he wasn't a fan lol

All of my fish are fed individually, and normally its only 2-3 per betta, except the females only get one every other day because they don't seem to eat as much and Tiger is my only Pig lol I'll watch how much I feed him from now on, what does a bloated or constipated fish act/look like?

Thought I'd share my experiences with adding betta to an established tank.   So far Day seems to love the space! She has shown no aggression so far even when my mollies crowded her personal space. She spent a few hours exploring and I guess she is searching for a territory now. After a few...

Well I have 5 males and 2 female betta, but my boy Tiger eats like... well a tiger.   Where as my other males eat 2 - 3 pellets and they lose interest, my man Tiger eats an average of 10 pellets a day at least. He is larger than my other betta though. Can I over feed him? He's acting fine...

Thanks! So I've tried dividers before in a ten gallon split in half, but I had the problem of one jumping over and attacking while I was at school. So instead of buying the typical fich store divider is there something else I could Use?

Ok - so after reading these posts, It seems to me that everyone agrees the smallest tank for a male betta is 5 gallons. Betta's also need heaters and preferably a filter.   So how do you do it? How do you have more than 2 betta and not have a house full of tanks? or is that the only way to go? I...
