How’s everyone doing?

I dont have any advice to offer, but good luck to you and your betta!! Hopefully she recovers!!!

Ok so I stripped the male after 14 days cause I was scared he was going to starve to death. Got 25 fry. Had some problem with BBS kinda but not really solved now. Male still refusing pellet food so I’m just putting in some BBS in every day and hoping that he eats it. The fry I’m feeding mostly...

I managed to get some photos of the male. Any idea if he is brooding?

I already bought the pair though… They only sold that one pair so I had no other paired to choose from. The males chin does look kinda like the one in the photo, so I think he hasn’t swallowed the eggs. Hopefully the fry can maybe survive.

Ok so I searched it up and my water hardness was fine, so I bought the pair! They are currently hiding at the back of the tank, not really active. I don’t have any live plants yet as shops closed for Chinese new year and the pair didn’t sell plants, so I’ll probably gonna get some for them this...

My place’s water hardness is 64ppm according to the government. Is that fine? Also, I was wondering if it’s possible to get like maybe the channoides and another wild betta pairs for the tank instead of the channoides and some harlequin rasboras?

In your experience with them, are they very active or do they not like to move much? My water is quite hard even after adding the black water mix that lowers the PH, but is the ph a very large problem? According to the seller of the pair, they have even spawned successfully in waters of a...

Wow, never new that honeys also had an aggressive side! That’s surprising! Does this make them unsuitable in community tanks too? Assuming that the pair does well together and does not fight, would a small school of 6 harlequin rasboras and another 6 of a peaceful schooling fish be fine with...

I’m just curious, but why? I thought honeys are quite peaceful. I have searched online about keeping betta Channoides with them and I saw that someone on another forum had kept them with licorice, honey and sparkling gouramis and it worked out fine. One an article about betta Channoides also...

It should be fine, the pair that I’m looking at currently is actually trying to spawn according to the store owner, so should be fine. But I’ll observe a bit first after I get them. How long will roughly be long enough? Like how long should I wait.

I want to get a pair of betta channoides for my 22g and I’m wondering if I could get any other fish with them. Could some harlequin rasboras or some honey gouramis work? Or is the tank too small for tank mates are it’s just better to keep them alone?

I just got 2 new tanks! However, my dad says that only max 2 tanks, so now I’ve gonna keep my original tank and the new 22g. It’s kinda sad that I can’t keep another betta in my new 5g. Whatever, at least I get 1 new tank ig.

My nerite snails shells’ have little white dents on them, I searched it up and it turns out it was due to calcium deficiency. Is there any way to increase calcium level using stuff found at home? Cause my LFS is quite far away and I don’t have time to go there to buy calcium supplements recently.

Maybe your tap water had ammonia in it originally. Have you tested your tap water’s ammonia level before?
