Hey, I've been keeping fish for a while now, have had a blind cave tetra for over a year, he has always been peaceful and been moved around my community tanks and mostly got on with the other fish. He was in a 100litre tank with just a male betta, about 4 female guppies and a spiny eel. Last...

OK! he's this minute decided that he should build a bubble nest and is really going for it :S oooerr! Thanks for that, i was worried about her at night, i didnt think to do that i just thought about moving her back to the large tank, i'm not used to my fish being in such small spaces! i...

hi there, tank set up is pretty basic, i have some gravel (not much) in the bottom of the tank. I mostly put that in to make it look nice as i placed them in the lounge so i could watch them more carefully. there is floating plants, heater, no filtration currently (its off). about 20 litre...

Maybe I should take her to the breeders with me and let her pick one out herself. Like speed dating for fish :P

I think she just doesn't "fancey" him... I think I might put her back in her original tank and try again in a week or so. I dont want to cause her to much stress and I dont want to risk things turning nasty in the night.

everything is set up and ready to go tanks food etc, they were introduced properly... just no result. luckily though no aggression. :( hohum

I won't lie, I have NEVER bred bettas before! That's why I'm asking for advice :$ I've owned bettas for 2 years now, I have only had 9 though. As you said, it's expensive as they must all be kept seperately. The female in question, is unusually timid compared to my others and is very very...

Hello, I purchased 2 unrelated female dragon bettas from a good breeder. I was very pleased with them as they are stunning fish, but within a week I realised that one was a male, just an immature male. (they were around 4 months when I got them and he did look VERY much like a female) Well...

Ohhhh.... I dont know what to do with "her" now. :| I really wanted them to go in my main tank... Eep. Oh well, I guess he will have to live in a the glass bowl forever. Do you think he will grow at all? I dont really know what age they reach full size. Thanks for helping me out, trying to...

I have seen it flare its gills before, at the other female, it did have a small amount of beard, but not much compared to most siamese fighters, though as I said, its very small, about 1.2 inches. Also if it was male I'm not sure why it would attack the female?

Ok, trying to take a photo completely failed, the camera wasnt good enough so I gave up. I found a picture of the fish in the tank, from the place I ordered them from, She looks exactly like the green ones in the picture. (Also the ventral fins appear longer)

Hey just trying to get a picture though she is in a circular bowl, so its impossible to take one through the glass i'll try lifting her to the surface of the water. I watched your youtube vid, nice tank... and even cooler picture of friezer from DBZ :P Hold on just charging the camera...

Hello. I purchased 2 female dragon bettas and had them delivered to my house. They arrived healthy and everything was fine. I put them into a tank (150 litres) together with a few other fish and everything seemed ok at first. Then the smaller of the 2 females started nipping the other fish and...

Thanks for that, I thought they might be getting stressed so seperated them this morning. I'm currently working on an entire tank rethink as I seem to have quite a few fish dotted around in seperate tanks that are rather large tanks, but only have a couple of fish in. The baby whale is now...
