Whoa! Thanks for the stocking tool. That's really awesome & super helpful. I'll definitely keep that link. I do have the water test kit & I also have used that water conditioner before. I've heard it's the best, but because I have quite a few tanks and I had the whole issue with the moss - I...

Thank you so much for this information! Very helpful! I'm hoping in the future I can get a big tank just for a female betta sorority/community. :wub:

Thanks for the response! Have you kept 2 or 3 together before? What was their behavior like?

That's good to know, thank you! I'll definitely be doing more research on plants. Pretty cool stuff! :nod: I honestly couldn't say what kind of lighting I have, unfortunately. I should probably start to learn those specifics. I was gifted a tank kit that came with the hood & light, so I'm not...

Whoa! Beautiful! I would prefer to have something heavily planted like that. I'm still working my way up to getting more plants and the kinds that would do well. I think I will just have to toss the moss. (Heh, rhymes.) I thought that java moss didn't respond well to strong lighting? Wouldn't...

Awh, shoot. I didn't move them back because I was too afraid, lol. I wanted someone to see the photos first. In that cup they smell like farts. Sorry for the immature wording, but... yeah. :/

I have pictures of the moss!

Ah, I see. I've heard about getting a strong filter for goldfish because of the waste & I like to clean it out/water change once a week. I also keep a strong bubbler in there for oxygen. I guess I thought I was off-setting the smaller tank in this way. They're all pretty small, but I know...

So sorry to hear about your fish pal. How long have you had him? If everything else is going well - I wonder if he's beginning to show old age? I actually just told this story about how I had a betta that I thought was dying, but really it was his old age beginning to show. I thought he was...

Forgot to mention that with feeding, be careful not to over-indulge your fish pal. I keep a strict diet for mine (3 little pellets that are 40% crude protein). If I ever feel like giving my bettas a treat, I'll give them 1 freeze dried bloodworm. On weekends I'll even let them fast. They're OK...

I'm sure he'll be okay! Betta fish are incredibly hearty, and I've heard they're mindful of their owners. I'm sure your betta appreciates you. I had a betta fish that I rescued from the LFS and kept for a few months until he began getting strangely sick. I never was able to pin-point why, but...

Ah, I see. Well, that stinks. I wouldn't want to risk them killing each other. I've heard my mom talk about 'sororities' - a group of female bettas. I wish they had flippy, pretty tails - the way males do. Do you all think that female bettas need to be in a group, or would they work well with...

This is a 'newbie' question, but seeing your response & skimming through what others mentioned about homing more than 1 male betta together - is it possible you could have more than 1 male betta in a tank? I find myself falling in love with betta fish and always want to rescue them all from...
