Re: CapeKates Betta video
he is handsome. I think you should call him Pheonix because he just flies through the tank and he is red like fire!

Thanks! he really is kewl....I do love em'. wish I knew how to add music along with the video tho.. will have to research that. I would like another male. Right now I only have a 2.5 bow tank that is empty. But that i think is too small for another betta and thought to use that as a Q/tank if needed. Maybe it would be ok to split the 10g in half without a see thru divider. But it just seems that i would be cutting out alot of "Pheonix's" swimming room. What is the opinion on that size tank? I know you mentioned before that a five gal would be enough room. I want more than "enough" room.. I would like to have appropiately sized tank for one betta, know what I mean? Maybe if I saw some video's of 5 gal tanks I can get a good idea of the space??
have a great day! |

Re: CapeKates Betta video
I do videography so have tools like Final Cut Pro to cut and edit videos + add music tracks. If you have a PC - did you use the windows movie maker to make your movie?
Splitting a 10g does work and gives a betta room, but it's really just whether or not you want to do it. We'd love to have 2 more Bettas, but my wife doesn't want Aslan or Sora to have less swimming room. Our little Angel is in a 5g hex.
Angel's pic is in this post: http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/10-fis...-bettas.0.html & a vid of her (we hadn't gotten the marbles yet) is in this post:
http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/10-fis...ur-fish.0.html. She's very happy in her tank and we currently have another 5g hex cycling for a new Betta. |

Re: CapeKates Betta video
I just love Sora and his pea dinner. and the music going along... hehehe.. it was great! and I might add.. sora is pretty clever and playful with the pea. Looks like its balancing on his nose, as their mouths are up on top. Sooooo cute!! I tried giving "Pheonix" a pea.. but he held no interest in it. ohh well...
I can alway come back and watch your videos.
the tanks looked great! and it seemed as tho they had plenty of room! Thanks for passing the clips along!
I use a Mac, not windows. So the software is different. I use quick time player for my movies. I upload video clips thru my Iphoto and just drag them to the desktop where I can upload to Youtube. Its that simple. Im sure I will be able to upload music pretty much the same way. Or do it here on the mac before uploading to Youtube.
ANyway... you all have a great day! Im off to a drs appt.

Re: CapeKates Betta video
Well Phoenix is a beauty - and very busy!!!
Just a thought, but I have Storm in a 1.66g Qtank, and it is a hex...I am thinking I should have an oblong tank for Qtank tank when it is this small, since there sure isn't much swimming room except up and down.........well on the other hand, maybe that is the point of a Q tank??
Anyway, good job!

thanks! and thanks to Genie, my betta now has a name. And I really do love it!  I picked up a 2.5 bow with the mini aqua clear filter at a local thrift store that I love to check out. I paid 5 bucks for it. And its in like new condition. It also had the marbles that you see in the betta tank. I thought that when I saw it, that it would make a good Q/tank, as any fish that I put in there, wouldnt be swimming around alot and it would most likely be only one fish at a time anyway. I think that its most likely too small to add a betta to, and that Im sure there are some 5 gal tanks out there somewhere. With summer coming, Im sure that I will find all kinds of set ups.. decorations.. etc etc at yard sales. Cant wait!!! |

Thanks, i figured music from pirates was fitting for his vid. he was actually holding the very tip of it in his mouth. now we feed him the pea in really tiny pieces so he can eat them easier and not end up with a lot of pea bits in the marbles.
I use a mac myself. Always was a PC guy until i got into video editing and tried OS X for the 1st time on a friend's mac. It's such a great OS and going to Unix was the best thing to happen to mac OS. Final Cut Pro is part of their prosumer video production suite. The quality got lowered by google video and youtube when i uploaded them (i guess they bring down the quality for streaming speed and storage.) I could send the originals to you sometime if you want over aim or ym.
Hope that dr. appt went good. |

good morning!
I used to use a pc with windows myself. My sister introduced me to the world of MAC and I fell in love. I think the mac is a much better system also we dont have to worry about virus's or popups on the Mac either. I use the tiger operating system. Is Unix a new operating system for mac? I'd love to see the originals sometime. Maybe you can email them to me? I do use the yahoo IM but am hardly ever on it. Not sure if I still have the AIM anymore. I can add my email address in my profile page. Thanks for the offer!
dr appt went well. Just a check up for the thyroid pills I am on now after having the thyroid removed.

Re: CapeKates Betta video
The mac OS is now unix-based since they went to OS X. That's why you have to run mac 'classic' apps with the app for pre-OS X software and the stable base that makes OS X so rock-solid. Microsoft has tried to rip-off OS X with Vista, but despite years of trying, have failed and ended up with the best windows yet, but it's only a 32-bit OS that's a shadow of OS X (and the 64-bit version of Vista is horrible with endless crashing). LOL.
I'd be glad to email the original movies to you, but they range in size from 8.4mb to 58.4mb. Unfortunately, my email server won't allow files over 10mb.  |

Re: CapeKates New betta videos
Loved the vids.. looks like your Betta is king of the tank and likes to remind the dwarf gourami of that. |

Thanks.. yes Phoenix sure does think that, Now that the betta is in his own tank, the remainning gourami is now the king of the tank. Harrassing the platys now so much that they are hiding out from him. What a shame. The dwarf gouramis are so beautiful, but aggressive. I dont think that I will be adding anymore of them to the community tank again. |

Yea, platys can be pretty timid and peaceful. Perhaps in time, things will change, but those gourami are, like you said, aggressive. Maybe a few more hiding spots for the platys? |

If I added anymore plants I would have to call it my 'planted' tank and not my fish tank! lol.. Yes, they do have lots of hiding places. But they seem to want to hang around the top of the tank. I observe them watching out for the gourami to come around, then they move away. They dont have the spunk they used to and I also notice them at times, one female mostly laying around on the gravel bed. The lil cutie tetras, chase each other around but dont bother anyone else, and the gourami ignores them as well. |
