Anonymous asked: can you put male and female in the same tank
No. Only during breeding
alittlepeachy asked: I have a 2.5 gallon that I was convinced to introduce two shrimp into--I'm not sure what kind they are, I was absolutely exhausted when I went and thought I had planned it out better but I even forgot bottom feeder pellets for them. The shrimp are almost the size of the betta's body, they're not ghost shrimp. I'm afraid they're going to just piss him off all day long because he's been chasing them most of the time since I've put em in there. What are your thoughts?
Honestly the best thing to do is to move them into a bigger space. Otherwise you have to separate the shrimp from the betta before he catches them
Anonymous asked: My fish create a mercury substance around his food at the bottom of the fish tank. What is that? Is he saving his food for later?
I’m not sure what you’re talking about but I suggest you take out any uneaten food. All its going to be is raise you’re nitrate levels.
fishmonger12 asked: Hey there, I have been accumulating equipment to breed my bettas and have finally reached the point where I have all the necessities, and have begun conditioning them. My breeding tank is set, just wondering if you might have some knowledge on the subject that you could contribute.
Great if you’ve got everything then you’re pretty much set to go. Just feed them high protein foods like blood worms (Live is better), Krill shrimp and what not. After conditioning place the male in first into the breeding tank that way he gets familiar with it. Get a 2 liter bottle and cut the bottom part. You can use that to contain you’re female in the breeding tank without the male touching her. When you release her and they breed make sure you have the stuff ready for the fry. Such as you’re sponge filter and live micro worms. Its better to have live food because it last longer in the aquarium if not eaten instead of it rotting at the bottom
danalauren asked: Hello! I own 2 beta fish. One is a half-moon and the other is a crown tail. I have had them both for over a year, and I am going to get a 10 gallon divided tank for them today along with a new filter and a heater. I am very confused on how to "cycle" a tank. Do you think you could summarize it for me? I have bacteria supplement and such, I just have no idea how to cycle a tank.
Usually what people do is set up their aquarium and let it run so that bacteria can start forming. What you can do is use old gravel in your new tank or use old decorations that have bacteria already on them. That speeds up the process of cycling. Also the longer you cycle the better
Anonymous asked: How did you get the trim off your tank. -_- mine looks like hell now that i've tried.
Send me some pictures! Mine didn’t look as nice either. When I took off the plastic I used. Zacto knife Or a razor and removed the silicone that was left
Anonymous asked: Hi, I have been following you on twitter for months now and have gotten some amazing advice and ideas for my dragon tail betta, love the pics you tweet too! Anyway, I am going away this weekend and will be away from tonight through Monday evening. Will my betta survive with out his regular feedings this weekend or should I get a friend to come over and feed him?
If a friend could take care of it that would be great but I think it should be fine if you give it a nice meal before you leave
