I did the same thing as you cat but in a smaller tank so Ibought a third one and moved them to my 29 gallon community tank and they are all getting along really well. I also have a male who is in a 10 gallon with a snail and some shost shrimp and he completely leaves the snail along but I do catch him checking out the shrimp sometimes so only the future will show there fate :/

After reading this article I gave my betta a bit of pea inners twice a day for 2 days. He improved within a day. Thank you for the good advise.

I love female bettas. I have 3 in my 15 gallon and all have more personality than the males. I found that housing them with guppies seems to take their attention off of eachother somewhat and usually see them chasing the guppies instead of the other betta.

While cleaning “Barry Betta’s” bowl, he accidently went down the drain to the garbage disposal. When we realized he was down there, I reached down & rescued him. He ,of course, was in shock. We put him back in his bowl. Within 4 days, he lost ALL of his fins, dorsel and any other appendages. If he has been gold, he would have looked like a plain gold fish. with no appendages. But, alas, a few days later, we noticed that all of his apendages are coming back. They are only about 1/4 inch long now but I am sure if we give it time, they will compeltely grow back. . However, he is not eating. I feel that he has been so traumatized & stressed & embarrased without his fins etc, he just doesn’t feel like it. Don’t know if he is in pain. I will feed him again tomorrow (2-17-10) . He stays on top in one corner of the bowl. He is not active.I have not seen any information on a situation like this. This may help someone else.

I have a water softner in my home. Just wondering if softened water would be ok to use for my betta fish?

i just got 2 female bettas yesterday. I LOVE THEM! upon reading this i decided to spearate them because one fish (Melanie) was becoming really aggressive towards the other (Sasha). At 1st i just thought sasha was being a diva, these r my very 1st pets, EVER! so I knew absolutely nothing about pecking order. Anyway, I put up a glass divider and now Sasha is swimming like crazy, while Mel keeps hitting the glass as she goes by. WOW! they have such personalities, and I thought having a fish might be boring! so wrong! they r fun little girls!
