BettaVishVish

I'm looking for a forum in general, not limited to the camera's type. However, if there is specific forum only for Nikon is also good to know. Thanks for the info

Any suggestion for a good, local photography's forum?

me too!

@BFM: yeah..I was thinking about that when he was sick. Now that he's gone...I'm not sure yet what I want. The bright side is..he has kids ...so I may adopt one of his kids @sierra: no you didn't make that up. It just my post wasn't clear enough. I had him over a year @CBG & Tobe: Thanks. He's just my special little fishy. and he's the reason why I joined this forum

Some of you may remember my post : Betta Not Want To Eat . He was getting better for a while but after 2 weeks since he had problem eating, I saw him go for good last night I know ..some people said , he just a fish.. but he meant so much to me. It's so sad to see the tank is now empty and I won't see him with his blue fins swimming around again. Good bye my M....thank you for the joy and all good memories you gave me right from the first time I saw you at the store until last night before your long 'sleep'.

'unladylike' ??? hahahaha...it works doesn't it? Yes I did the same, just sucked it and it worked perfectly. Onetime friend and their kids coming over and saw me doing the water change. One of kid said..." dad I saw her sucking the pipe!!" Since then.. I bought a suction ball (siphon) and it also works great. You just have to squeeze it a bit harder and the water from the tank will flow nicely. But once in a while I still use the 'unladylike' technique because it fast and less time to set up. For the gravel vac itself, I used the one from Fluval. works great for cleaning my Edge tank.

I thought i should give an update on this. I checked him this morning, and for the first time I saw him swimming actively. He's also eating He looks so blue and pretty (or.. it just me being happy to see him recover) Thanks again everyone for all input and suggestion. Have a nice weekend

great video..and I love the music too, great for lounging

That could be. I'm slowly preparing myself for that so I won't get :shock: . Thanks for your info about the salt, I really appreciate it.

I bought the aquarium salt but didn't put it right away since I'm not too sure if this would do any good. After reading and talking to couple people, I decided just to try it. I added 1 tbl spoon as per instruction in the package. Before I added the salt,betta just lied down at the bottom ..curled up. I hope it's not too late.

I took a snap using my phone. It's probably not really clear.

yes it's flake foods and I tried the pellet too. I haven't tried the live/frozen foods yet especially now I suspect that he might have an ich. I had moved him to another tank on Monday and bought a new adjustable heater. I just thought my old heater doesn;t function properly and made him uncomfortable. In this other tank, I was able to maintain the temp to 28 C. I saw him eating a little bit after I moved him out...but he still doesn;t look active (looks like he just floating not swimming)

He still doesn't want to eat .

The side by side and the contrast setups look nice. I wonder how they look like when the room is dark ..of course leave the tanks' s light on.

thank you for the suggestion. I will keep that in mind when I need to change the food. yes, I'm curious why this is happening. I've been using the same food for approx. 1 year and he always ate it happily. Lately there seems problem with him. Few days before Christmas, he didn't swim as usual, he was just sitting at the bottom. I suspected that had something to do with the temperature. I noticed the temp was 24C while usually between 26 - 28 C. My friend suggested to do a water change and increase the temp. Since I don't have the adjustable heater, I then added another heater which increased the temperature to 26C. I also did a water change. He seemed better and swimming normal. Now, it's the 4th day he refused to eat. I got him a year ago from a store, so he could be 1.5 - 2 years 0ld now. I would do anything to make him eat again.

My betta doesn;t seem to have any appetite to eat. It's been 3 days...I'm a bit worry now. Any ideas how to make my betta start eating again? Should I change the food? I've been using Nutrafin Max. Any suggestion what other brand I should try? Thanks.

cool :thumbs:. Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the critters

So..my betta hunting today had no result. I didn't find any half moon betta ...nevermind red HM betta. Oh well...maybe next time I get lucky. At least today I got to see two stores that I never heard or came there before

Lol... you probably right. Thanks for the info. I'm taking Friday off to hunt for red betta

thanks fishclubgirl. Yeah I heard there's no such of full moon betta, but some people argue that there is FM betta. I never heard the Imperial aquarium. Is it in Calgary? I wanna check it out .

Anyone knows where to find red full moon betta? well... half moon probably ok too. thanks

Nice shots. Very cool. I like the 1st, 2nd and last photos.

hey I may get an idea ..this SW Fluval Edge looks so cool http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=63441 well..that just a thought. I don't think I'll go for it..cause then my betta will not have a home

I am sorry to hear this. I too have a hard time dealing with loss..especially losing someone whom I know very closely. I pray that you find a strength to deal with this loss and each day you'll find something that brings peace and joy in your heart. May good memories you share with him always be remembered and cherished.

It is black.
