If you were just looking to put 1 fish in there - a betta would be an awesome choice :) Full of personality - and they come in almost any color. That's my 2 sense...

If you get him from a place that keeps there betta fish in cups - take the cup with you. If the store _has_ cups, even if the fishie is in the tank, see if you can get them to give you a cup. They're great for water changes! Allows them to accimate each time you do a WC. If not a small...

You asked..... Kepi - her tail has sense grown back the few nubs it's missing Wisp- Calypso - Angie - I also have a green/blue female - Akane, and a yellow delta female named Winry (camera broke, so I don't have pictures of them)

OMG that is horrible....fish need water? Hey that's a novel concept!! :S Hopefully you'll get a response back from them. Maybe next time you're there, if you see this again, ask to speak to a manager? Oh, and yes the blue colored water in the cups from (Petsmart for example) is...

I have my boys in 1 gallon - 3 gallon containers/tanks (different sizes) However in a pinch I have used a 2 liter soda bottle. (with the part where it starts to form into the opening of the bottle cut off of course) (Upgraded to a gallon the next day, and then a 2.5 gallon a few months later)...

I'm wondering if the septicima has anything to do with the white bits coming off of him? My other thought - could it be his slime coat? I know sometimes bettas will start producing more of a slime coat then they normally should.... Though what that looks like I haven't a clue :/

Awwww :wub: he's very cute!! Does he have a name?? What do you have in the tank with him?

Male PK betta: See how long his ventral fins are? (The two that hang down in the front?) Females ventral fins are much shorter. http://www.geocities.com/pacificnorthwestb...rashplakat4.jpg Female betta: See how short her ventral fins are? That and she'll have an egg spot also called an...

Just curious is he a giant? As well as OHMPK? Either way.... :drool: all of your fish are sooo pretty!

If not feeding him for a day or two doesn't help and he looks like his tummy is rounder then normal (but his scales are not stuck out like a pinecone) then try feeding him a cooked pea. Take a single pea - put it in water and in the microwave for a few (15 seconds or so) and take the skin off...

Nice fishies!! Personally I've chosen to not heat my 2.5 gallon tanks and just make sure the room stays nice and toasty. However, sense your in a dorm room I would see about getting one - you can't directly controll the heat - so it would probably be a good idea. Just be sure that the one you...

One of my girls didn't eat for a whole week as well. Just be sure to remove any of the uneatten food and he'll be fine. I usually try to feed my fish at the same time everyday so they expect me coming... Good Luck! :good: And he's really cute btw! :wub:

What I do, is first, request that they take a look at the potentially sick fish. If I am able to take it home, I will but I will inform the place that I'm only doing so because I'm trying to rescue it. Most chain petstores won't require you to pay for a sick fish. The other way, is to buy a...

Care to elborate more on this? I thought distemper just effected dogs and cats??

Beg plead and cry until I'm able to get a new tank....but the little betta needs me!! I'd say 50% of the time it works. Bf is getting used to the idea that every surface in the bedroom will be covered with fish tanks... And sense my betta females are going into the 20 gallon - there's a good...
