Yes, I did. A lot of people may disagree that this is safe to do, but as long as your tank is on a solid, easy-to-move stand and you don't have to lift it more than a half inch to an inch off the...

I JUST did this like a month ago with my 30 gallon!

I just dropped the water down to about 25%, moved it forward with the help of 1 person, then filled it back up and got it running again while I...

:D Thanks!! I always name my Betta's after Greek Gods hahaha. Well, the first one was technically named after the lover of a God--but still.

I think I'll name him Dionysus. :) He was the Greek God of Wine, Frivolity and Merriness. A big partier, haha, just like this little guy.

:D Thank you!! I'm so excited about his recovery. I knew it couldn't have been any disease because he was showing no regular symptoms other than moping. He was floating upside down, but then when I...

Before, in his cup: (he wasn't floating weird in the cup)

Sorry for the...

I don't have any of him in the 5 gallon, but I have one of him in the cup and I just took one of him in my 29! I'll post them. Sorry, they're crappy cell phone pictures lol...

Edit: I have to go...

The personality they show never fails to amaze me!

Since I got my sister and nephew a betta fish and 5 gallon tank for him, I have had the itch to buy one of my own again to keep at home! So, I...

Where outside of Boston? North or South? I'm just South of it and I LOVE Lovely Pets in Quincy!

:D Okay thanks! This is making me feel much better haha.

He's already been processed through my post office. So he should be here within the next three hours. It says he's guaranteed by 3 pm! :)
...

:D Thanks guys!

I'm just nervous about receiving a fish through the mail lol. I can't wait to see the look on my nephew's face when he sees his new fishie on Christmas! :D

:) It sounds to me like you have a perfect little set up for him!

My betta lazes around a lot, too. They're like royalty--they like to swim around and show off for a little while, then find a...

BethyMT has mailed me a baby betta HMPK! If USPS behaves well, he will arrive at my office tomorrow morning. I have an empty 5 gallon chi waiting for him there, and I'll be bringing some filter media...

LOL I'm still trying. I'll have a picture up soon!

Oh my gosh! I keep trying to get a picture, but they're too active right now and my good camera is dead.

Both of my GBRs are developing some really fantastic red and purple colorization on their...

:D Thank you very much!

I did, actually! Haha I was just reading about it over lunch today. A friend mentioned she was interested in getting a tank, so I decided to buy her one for Christmas. She originally said she liked...

:D Aww thank you. Yeah, I can't stand it when people think they can throw a betta into a cup and it'll be fine. My betta before this one had his own standard 5-gallon tank. He died of old age around...

:D I actually love it. I used a little filter media from my 29 gallon at home and stuffed it inside the filter, and have had perfect water parameters from day one! The filter is actually pretty...

Okay! I'll put it in a ziplock, inside tupperware and in a small priority box. It'll onyl be $5 to ship it but it'll arrive fast. :D Thanks. I'm pretty sure I actually still have pure ammonia from...

What if I put it in a tupperware with a piece of shrimp? :)

I can pretty much guarantee it'll arrive within 3 days because I will be mailing it AFTER Christmas (She'll need a week at least to get...

Hey all!

So I'm buying my good friend an aquarium for Christmas. She's had a tank before, a 10 gallon with a betta, and knows all about cycling, and all the rules for what fish you can have etc.
...

I vacuum mine around the plants, picking up just what can be easily reached and allowing the rest to remain as fertilizer. As long as you do regular water changes, you'll be fine without vacuuming a...

:) Aren't you personal friends with Scottishfish? Why not just ask him for some of his media for an instant cycle?

Oooh that's a great idea actually! Thanks!
