I'll be taking Lucky for photos tomorrow, I have to work tonight and on top of that My dog Teddy is going for shots at 4:30... so he gets his shots then its off to work, I'm lucky cause I can take him with me

What an amazing fish, even if you couldn't get all the color it has into the shot. Thanks for posting such a beauty.

I can't wait to see pictures!

I dunno if its because I'm getting to be a big old softy as I get older but those boxes made me cry, I'm laughing at the fact that I cried since it was a. a while ago that it happened to your friend and b. isn't even my dog. But either way I cried. I want to say that again you did an amazing job.

I don't have a recent shot of his son but he looks very similar Gezzz Patrick ... no recent picture.... gawd LMAO old daddy there is a very beautiful male. Keep up those amazing shots!

Well Since last Sat. My husband has gone threw two bettas. Both died from velvet. So yesterday while I was at work I went threw all the bettas and found this STUNNER! He is still not named since my husband says he will just died if he does name it. So I thought I'd post a few pictures of the little guy. Hes almost metalic, so beautiful. I love how he just sat there like that and let me take pictures! Enjoy!

I have been doing some test with all my bettas to see what is best for them. I use the air stone in two tanks and in my other I don't. I only use the heater in one tank (donald's) because the rooms too cold but I'm going to have it in tropical not just room temp. I have found that even though they can live with out the stones the two that have them seem to be more active. I think this is because they don't have to always be rush for air and can breath like normal fish in a air filled tank, the two with still go up for air but only half as much as my other one.

Very interesting, I have some questions. You had an algae bloom on the plants? and when you plucked and thinned them out was there any plants that you tossed due to to much algae? How much do you think a plant can be plucked before you'd toss it? Thanks I just have some Algae on some of my 20 gallon tank's plants and I dunno what to do with it. By the way I like the vals you have VERY cute!

LOL I guess if I had taken a shot of the top of it you might be able to tell better. UPDATE: Donald now has a mini elite heater due to my bedroom being the coldest place in canada LOL he was hardly moving so I bought one today. Set on low I'm going to slowly get the temp to tropical.

Thats a reptile container. This one goes for about 6.99 at pet smart. holds about a gallon maybe a little more. He is nice isn't he, I love all three boys.

Thanks, I agree!

Thanks, Looking back at all these older pictures of when I first got him, he sure has grown up.

I noticed that no one has addressed your comment on salt and your plants. Right now you don't need to use salt, But once you tank gets stable and has run the cycle threw, you can add some salt if you wish. Unless your plants are super crazy plants, which I personally have never heard about a plant that would die off with a little salt, I would advise you that putting salt in to help your fish should not hurt your plants. If I'm wrong and there are plants out there that you have that are no salt at all plants I'm sure someone will tell me. And hey Lisa.... Seachem is just awesome no matter what it is :P *laughs*

Much more light! We'll see how the plants likes it.

Well My husband is a nut, I forgot to ask about getting pictures of the project being done, he also did it while I was work so I couldn't see it being done. My lighting is brighter. I'm enjoying it very much I'll post some picture later. But all in all I now have 4X energy 13 watt bulbs. And I'm LOVING IT!!!!

Thank you for posting that. It was breath taking!!!! I hope that when I start my aro tank that I will have such an amazing aro myself, I would sit all day long and watch it though! LOL

YES!!! I thought for some DUMB reason that it was in Feb.. I was sooooooo sad... with my hubby being in school and all... no cash flow other then mine ( BILLS BILLS BILLS!!!!) But If its in March then HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!! I'm going to be going.. with some money too!!! YA YA YA YA YA!!! LMAO

Thanks

I'd like you to meet two of my three betta's. My third, Lucky, wasn't "ready" for photos, in other words, his hair wasn't just right So Here is Donald, He is my newest, I got him just last night. Now the old man, His name is Frasier. I've had him over 6 months. I'll post Lucky some time soon when he gets his "make up" on. LOL

I have 4 gouramis in my 20 gallon and yes they all get along. I have 2 dwarf honey, 1 dwarf powder blue and 1 opaline. I know that my 2 dwarf honey will get no bigger then about 2 inch. But how big will the other two get. I've read that they will get 3 inches on one site and 5 on another. So here I am asking you... on average what size am I looking at? Thanks.

I have three, One is in a 2 gallon tank with Java Fern and an air stone. Second one is in a 1 gallon (seems like 1.5 if you ask me) corner tank with again Java Fern No air stone though. Third one is my husbands and its in one of those marina tanks.. its 1/2 gallon. I do water changes once a week for the 1 gallon and 1/2 gallon. And every two weeks for my 2 gallon, these are all 100% water chages and I rise off the ferns, Gotta love those hardy little devils!

Oh yah sure! I keep it next to my solid gold toilet HAHAHAHAHAHA Thats again why we are waiting 3 to 4 years.. By then I will have some saved up.
