Hi..and Welcome. Maybe you can help me to find the cover for my FLuval Edge. :thumbs: I posted it here: http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=31099 thanks.

Hi..any idea where I can get the cover/lid for Fluval Edge? Mine get rusty and it looks bad. thanks

darn nice shot!. were you waiting for the lightning ? or it just happened. regardless.. how did you capture the lightning?

oh now.. that you mentioned about aggressive betta, I think my betta may not like the shrimps. I had seen him ate my endler . The 2 other endlers were also disappeared.. and he had fought with my ram.

Shrimps? hahaha I'd never thought about this seriously but now am thinking maybe that's not a bad idea. I have half moon betta in my fluval now, I heard that's not good idea to put betta and shrimps together.

I'm thinking to make over my 6 gal tank but don't know yet what I'm gonna do with it. Any suggestion, idea? Any pictures or link would be appreciated. Now, if I re-do my tank, do I need to cycle it again? thanks.

That's awesome that you can combine both your education and passion together. i'm sure people in this forum can give you information you need. Good luck with your research and hope you can graduate soon

me too!

Nice views. How did you shot the waterfalls?

So.. how's your shrimp? survived?

nice. are you going to hide the wire? how?

yes I agree...we often personify pets as a way to communicate or translate the pets needs. yeah I dont have any plan to breed betta...well unless I find a cool female betta . thank you for your tips.

ah..I like the mirror idea. I'll try this.

Do you think betta can feel lonely or even bored just swimming in the tank? I laughed when I typed this question..but also curious to find out the answer. The reason I asked this because sometimes people put the betta in a small jar or bowl and the betta pretty much sitting oops floating alone. I would probably bored if I were the betta . Can we know if the betta is bored or lonely? Do you know if male betta needs to meet the female?

Nice pictures as always . Thank you for sharing these..brighten my lunch time today

Show us some pictures

Nice. I wouldn't think about the foil and foam ..that's good idea for adding the insulation. and oh your Finnegan looks pretty!

Looks cool. Would be nice if you can post some pictures from the start 'till the end result

cool...thank you for showing us how the end result looks like with different lights.

hahaha...that's crazy, but I can understand why. will you post the pictures of your bettas?

hahaha ... very creative. I wonder how your wife said or how your son reaction after that

San Fransisco is a nice city for a convention. What would you get from the convention? sorry ... I never come to IBC .. so I don't know what to expect. thanks for the info.

A friend of mine told me this too. My tank is only 6 gal.. baby tank.. so maybe it's overkilled for a small tank?

Your sword looks very nice and healthy. Mine looks brown and stop growing. I almost took out the whole plant yesterday because they don;t look healthy..but I thought I should give another try.

I don't think this will answer your question but ..I know in Java, Indonesia, if you say Betta as to refer betta fish, most people won't know. But if you say "Ikan Cupang"..they know what you mean. They said they call betta as Ikan cupang because its mouth likes ready to kiss till ...(ok..I’ll stop here ) and when the fish fight, the fish will push and bite each other. In Indonesian, Ikan means fish, and cupang means kiss..more like, kissing as hickey or biting. The other story..in Indonesia, if you say Ikan Betta..(written as Ikan Beta) it can mean as an expression, to express your ownership to the fish. The word beta itself is only used in a certain tribe in Indonesia. Nowdays people don't use the word beta anymore. Even if they use it, it's used for fun ..it doesn't have the same meaning as in the old days. The word beta was used to emphasize your love, respect or ownership to something or someone. So in the old days if someone said ikan beta, that means the person has so much love to the fish, very proud to the fish. The word itself is like a mantra. Don’t even dare to mess up with this fish. Now..is there any correlation or just coincidence between the used of word beta to the betta fish as fighting fish..I don’t know . All I know..I love my betta
