I am new from Camuy,Puerto rico

Hello there
its cool here i like this forum^.^
Well im new to the fishie stuff
but i love them specially Male betta's
I always loved Betta's but i could never
get one cause they took down the pet shop
near me =(
but my friend gave me one as a gift
and i bought the tank its a 10 Gal.
its pretty big for just him but i preffer
for him to be in that big one than
in a little bolw i cant wait to see him
swiming around in his new tank i
bought the tank last night so i cleaned
it and set it up and left it runnin from last night
i plan on later on putting him in there
but sadly i dont have a heater but he
seems pretty happy with the water he has wich
is not cold cause Puerto rico is tropical too
and the temperture is mostly in the 90's
he loves when i stand up to his bowl
and stand there and staires and blows
bubbles at me ^.^ hes so adorable

Hello Haze Betta. Welcome to Fishlore!

Sounds like your betta will need a cooler sooner than a heater with temperatures like that.

It's great that you're giving him a 10G. That's what I did too.

Congrats on the present (the betta you got from your friend), and I look forward to all your posts! If you have questions regarding bettas, you've come to the right place. I'm a newbie betta owner myself and these betta nuts here on Fishlore have been so helpful every time I needed help or information or reassurance.

Oh, and these are also nice links:

What everybody's real name is, so you dont' get confused: http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/index.php?topic=11720.0


What everybody looks like, to get to know us a little better. Feel free to post a picture of yourself on there too if you like: http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/index.php?topic=10547.0

Oh, and here's a list of early/beginner's mistakes: http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/index.php?topic=9651.0

And finally something on the nitrogen cycle which you really must read if you're settling your betta in a new tank. This is super important as he may become really ill from the nitrates/nitrites/ammonia: http://www.fishlore.com/Articles/TheNitrogenCycle.htm

Happy reading!

Re: I am new from Camuy,Puerto rico

Welcome to fishlore It sounds like your male betta will be very happy in that tank you have set up for him. And you really dont have to worry about that heater for him unless your 'winter' temps get cool. Which I doubt you will have to worry about! I have never been to PR but have many friends that have enjoyed your beaches and great resturants.
Armadillo gave you some great links for you to read up on... Good luck with your new Betta.. have you picked out a name yet? And be sure to post photos ~~ we love photos !... heheh

Re: I am new from Camuy,Puerto rico

Hello Haze_betta, welcome here. I am a recent Betta owner and am hooked.
The People on here have taught me everything basic i need to know about Bettas. However each fish ( as i have learnt) has a personality..............so there begins your job!!

Call here for advise OR to chat about anything!! We love to chat and chat and chat and learn about different cultures etc. But at end of the day we are fish parents!
