Wow, starving a fish to stunt it? Bad move. It's a great way to get an unhealthy cat, and an even better way to get that bichir eaten real quick.

Totally awesome fish. After reading and watching some about them on youtube, I'll probably have one when I get the chance for a larger tank. Living in a single room in a house makes it hard to get...

That's what I was figuring. I'd read mixed reviews on their size as well. I may go with a smaller species of ctenopoma for the same look and behavior.

I'm getting back on my motivation to set up my 30 gallon considering a ctenopoma for it, and my research has come to the conclusion of really nothing for the minimum tank size for these guys. I've...

I have just discovered what could possibly be one of the neatest tanks out there. Not that I know diddly about salt water, but this seems like a pretty marvelous idea and ingenious tank design. I'm...

Is the tail's edge black, or transparent? If it's black, that's fin rot and the best treatment is clean water. Do frequent water changes just like you're doing. I'd do 25% every other day, then once...

They look like double-tails to me, just not very dramatic ones. All double-tail bettas actually only have one caudal fin, but it's split down the center so it has two separate lobes. It's caused by a...

I would definitely tell him about it. My friend made the mistake of getting a secret pet for her boyfriend, and he wasn't too keen. Remember, when you're buying someone an animal, you're buying them...

You could be the lucky owner of this 900 gallon tank!

You may consider keeping them separate for another few weeks, just to be safe. But it sounds like you just have jittery fish on your hands. If nothing changes in a couple weeks, I'd just dump them...

Thank you! I really should take some time to get some quality photographs of my tanks and fish. Phone pictures don't do it justice.

It was an easy decision, but hard to do.

So far unnamed, but he's quite pretty. Might be marble, so I'm not sure if he'll stay with these colors. Sorry it's poor quality, but it actually captures his colors pretty well. He's a really small,...

Wow! No comments on these yet? Those are beautiful fish! I love the red and white spotted one. Excellent photography, as well. How big are they?

That's an awesome tank. Very impressed with the growth you got in there.

I've been lazy about water changes, but I don't think it's from poor water quality. My more sensitive catfish would be going down before a betta. I think it was from over-eating. What I may do is get...

My HMP, Charcarias has dropsy. He's been bloated for a few weeks now, no amount of food cut-backs or peas seemed to help, and he was behaving fine. This afternoon I found him stuck in a plant,...

The filtration would definitely be adequite for a betta. I'd be more concerned about the flow of water, but chances are your betta would be just fine. If it's too strong, most filters can be made a...

You could always use an opaque divider. The problem with that is getting even filtration throughout the tank. If you can afford it, it would probably be best to get two 2.5 - 5 gallon kits.

It sounds like I already do a lot of that. He's one of the most active bettas I've seen, and the most aggressive. I'm wondering if in his case he thinks it's a rival male. He's right next to my desk,...

Not sure if a spotted climbing perch would be too big, but they aren't very active fish. Other Ctenopoma and leaf fish species could be worth looking out for, too. They are abush predators, and have...

I posted some time ago about my betta's ripped fins. It wasn't until the other night that I finally caught him in the act of chewing up his own fins. So now I need to know what to do with a betta...

Yep, that's why I went with a planted tank. Since my schedule is a little erratic, I wanted that extra cushion room in case I had to skip water changes. And obviously my plan worked well. And as I...

I was gone for an unexpected month (I knew I'd be gone, but I thought I'd get a chance to stop by the house. Oops. Not so.) Basically,t he tank was only fed for a month, no water changes or anything....

Is the rubberlip the same as a pitbull pleco? If not, that's another option.

As for plants, you can't beat java fern and anubias. I have vals in my 10g and my betta really likes it, but it's a...
