Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

seediros thanks for the suggestion bro. I'll def try to give them a better home

Korean shoe head is my friend and we visit Niketalk on a regular basis. Im not sure about Callatya tho'. Anyways, wats ur ID on NT? By the way, i've known fishprofiles a long time ago, and my ID was bettalova. This was prolly like 2 years ago. But now i forgot the pass and had to re-register .

Lovely fish..I wish I could keep more. I think I will try Shannen's multiple betta tanks posted on this forum.

yes

Thanks for the Betta info, i never knew.
+betta 23 never knew you were viet, i only like to use the greeting cause my friend taught me.

Hey there!

One thing that concerened me after reading your posts and reply is that the bettas are in relatively small jars. I believe those were 1 quart jars? Like Miss Moppet stated previously, a betta should be kept in a 1 gallon minimum sized bowl/tank. In 1L, there's no room for the betta to swim around or live comfortably, and the bio-load (it's feces, respiration, etc.) will be much too high, and potentially fatal. Unfortunately, one water change per 2 weeks is not nearly sufficient enough. Something like 1 100% water change a day or two days is min. of water changes that should be done.

I don't mean to offend you, but you should try to give those bettas bigger homes. I'm sure you'd understand after reading around a bit. Welcome to FishProfiles by the way .

nice

^^ dude are u Vietnamese? How did u know im Vietnamese? Its Xin Chao by the way, not Xian Cho . And since u used the terms "heat" and "OG XIII", assume u are a shoe collector? And a Niketalker?

Lol. This is my tank with my Jordan XIII on top. I visit here regularly and Niketalk.com so yeah ....Lol sorry for the blurry pic guys! I got Ottocinclus, Painted Platies, Blue Platies, Albino and bronze catfish, a betta, black neon and neon tetras, a red tail shark, cherry barbs. And they are living happily together.

The coloration on the white one is pretty unique, altho i was looking for a total albino one. But nice nonetheless!

Something about a dark blue/red betta that just captures my heart. Lol!*


Been searching for this color green. Very vibrant!

And its my just-a-tiny-bit crown tail betta. I think hes just half crown. But its been long since i find one at my local petco and they dont even sort the bettas out. All for $3.49 so...

I been loving fish since 6, when my dad brought home 2 bettas. Since then i've been dreaming to get my own tank. And my dream came true 4 years ago when i obtained a 15 gallon tank and built its way up till now, as u guys can see. Im sure this is nothing compared to most of u guys here, but its my lil contribution so bear with me ok? . I've bred bettas successfully before but never knew wat to do with the brood. I dont have many jars at home. Distributing them to my friends was the only way out.

^^ yea i do water changes once every 2 weeks. I've been keeping bettas in relatively small containers since.....my first bettas when i was 6 (16 years old now). Lol and i never had a problem with that. Plus it saves me lots of room for more bowls and more bettas. But thanks for the recommendations. /:'

1 litre is approximately 1/4 gallon. I don't recommend keeping bettas in anything smaller than a full gallon unless it is only temporary. To keep a container that small clean enough, you will need to do water changes every day. There is also not enough room for a betta to live comfortably in that space IMO. Those 1 litre bowls are great for decorations, flowers, whatever, but they are not suited for living things.

Nice looking tank and fish Betta23. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the help Keith, i'd definetely will require some assistance in the future soon.

To djtj: Its not really a tank bro. More like a lil bowl i got from Michael, the place where they sell craft, u know all that foam, flowers, Xmas decorations and stuff. They were on sale for 1 dollar a bowl. I'd say the capacity is 1 liter. And im not sure how to convert that into gallon

What size bowls are those bettas in? I've been thinking of doing a similar setup with lots of bettas. I'm thinking of putting up a few shelves of them.

Are those top 2 pictures the same tank or different ones?

Personally, I think that Petco has the best bettas. For other fish they're so-so. However, they have a HUGE selection of bettas by me. I guess those cheap plastic cups really do save space.

Oh, and don't feel bad, my biggest tank was a 5 gallon and the only one working now is a 2.5!

nice tanks

Betta23

It has been said I can take photos and do a reasonable Aquscape.

I know zero - about Bettas so that makes me at the bottom of the Betta class

There is some help in Photo Booth on taking photos.

If you would like some help with Aquscaping/photography contact me please
