How often do you do water changes? ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

Guppy gurl Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 79 Votes: 15 Registered: 25-Aug-2004	it's about a gallon, its kept at 78F-80F. no filter. when i clean the tank i do a 100% water change. i decided to put a female betta in there and a divider to see what he would do,but he still didn't do anything. his fins are clamped to his sides too. i always did this with him, but one day he just stopped moving...

Two years ago, my Betta died of old age & he was between 3 & 4 years old. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
