is a slave to the betta girlies

I've had bettas in these before, worked really well :) You could just cut a little circle out of the lid for filter/heater cables etc. Good size too. Only tiny drawback is that the plastic scratches easily from rocks, scraping off algae etc.

I think that's a great size! I've had bettas in tanks from 8g down to 1g, at the moment I have Lemon in a 3.5 cube which she seems to be very happy in. Blueberry (my tiny weenie girl) freaked out when she was in her 3.5 gal so now she has a 1.5.

How often do you feed? I feed my two girls - siblings in separate tanks- once a day, time varies, usually about the time I eat my own dinner. What do you feed? Hikari Betta BioGold - it's a bit pricey, but betta food lasts for ages and the tiny pellets are easy for them to eat. Every now and...

I want to get one. And call him Bruiser ;) Gorgeous fish...

I think it was an Aqua One tank? It only came with the cube and a sheet of foam for underneath but it had an Aqua One sticker on it. It's a good tank, it's got two glass panels for the lid. I'm putting a black background on it today so Lemon stands out more, she's so tiny haha.

Here's Lemon's 3.5 gal: Beautiful setups everyone!

http://bettatalk.com/betta_finnage.htm She also has a section on colouring, very useful. :)

One of my girls shares her 3.5gal with an apple snail and he (she? it? whatever) takes care of any algae that pops up. The snail's a really interesting little thing to watch too, only downside is that they do poop a lot but with a large tank like yours I would think things would be fine :) I...

Apologies for the dodgy quality, they're taken with my phone haha. Here's a pic of the tank, which Lemon shares with Mango the golden apple snail. She's ridiculously fast so I couldn't get a clear pic (maybe it was the phone..) but this shows her colour: And this shows how little she...

Far out. It must be at least a year since I've logged onto the forum, starting uni and everything really takes its toll haha. Glad to see some of the old members still here :) Last week or so, got a new yellow girl (named Lemon :blush: ) who has settled very well into her 3.5 gal tank. Will...

My female betta developed a bacterial infection apparently overnight - it's a pinkish sore. She is acting fine and eating normally. I bought Waterlife Myaxin on the reccommendation of my LFS owner. I'm proud to say I've never had to use strong meds on my bettas before - they've never developed...

Almost every shop in the area does, mainly barbs or comet goldfish. What shops did you visit? I've been doing a lot if fishie shopping lately, maybe I walked past you :lol: I am of the opinion that if fish spawn unplanned in a tank, and the parents and or other fish eat the fry, it's just...

Looks awesome! If this is your first tank you've done a great job! In fact it's a great job for anyone! :good: I agree, a blue or black background would really make the colours of your fish and plants pop.

Yay :good: If you have other fish try giving them the betta flakes. Liz - haha, I'm in the same boat. I have a big tub full of random impulse buys: food, decor, tanks.. and of course, they never do like the food I buy. I opened a tub of flakes the other week to find that it had turned to...
