I know it's been a month since you posted, so am probably too late with this reply, but thought I'd add my thoughts in case there's anyone else out there considering a biOrb: I bought a Baby biOrb a few weeks ago for my male betta, & overall have been pleased: it looks very nice, my betta seems...

Another thing to consider with bettas in community tanks: if the filter creates much in the way of a current, your betta would be most unhappy. They like still water as their fins aren't built for fighting currents. I shudder to think about the time I gave this a try: after going to great...

Would love to get a flare photo of Sutra the Beautiful Blue Betta, but he seems unwilling to cooperate. He used to flare at my finger when I wiggled it against the glass, but now he just backs away from it. Any experienced betta photographers out there who have some good tricks up their...

Dream on! I am TOOOO in love with this fish :lol:

Just wanted to say thanks to both of you for your advice. Will certainly invest in the better test kit, as I have indeed been using strips. Tks again!

At any rate, Sutra's...

OK, will cease & desist with the melafix/pimafix! Today is water changing day, so that will take care of that. Have attached a photo -- it's a little faded because of glare on the biOrb, but you can still see the pink tinge. Tks!

I've had my female platy about 4 months & she's been quite healthy until now. She's been hiding the last few days, but making appearances at mealtime. This morning, however, she's just hovering near the bottom and didn't eat. She's also got that "broken back" look, where her tail end is kind of...

I'm a betta newbie; bought a blue-green betta about a month ago (he is BEAUUUtiful and I LOVE :wub: him!). Can't even tell you tail type, but think CT (but doesn't have the spikey look I see on all the crowntail pics, so not sure). The important point here, tho', is that he has very long...
