Thank you both! The stripes were vertical, but many sites I looked at said either one, so I wasn't sure. They are both store bought and I think she may have aged out anyway.

I tried to breed my bettas for the first time. It was going really well at first, he was just flaring at her and not attacking too much. But when he pushed her up onto a soft live plant, she played dead. I immediately removed her and put her back in her permanent tank. I then noticed that she...

Thank you! I will try the hydrogen peroxide method.

I bought a bunch of minnows from a bait shop that came with red mouth disease. After numerous different home remedies, all but one died (he was seperated out into a different tank immediately). I have kept the one alive in a different container, but two days ago decided to try the airstone and...

I've never dealt with this instance so correct me if I'm wrong, but maybe bettas would work? One male OR two females would be colorful and make it pop

Personally, I think you can add a few more. As long as your tank was healthy before the trip and now. You may want to wait a while to monitor that everything is good.

How many gallons is the tank?

Just to warn you that depending on how or where you get the plants you may need to quarantine them. I bought some live plants and put them right in the tank, and now have about 100 pest snails running around.

So true! My ADFs don't really stay still long enough for pictures, or hang out in a corner I can't see.

Never knew that, great information!

No problem! I try to help, even if I don't know much, sooner or later I'll learn something new!

Great Picture!

Looks pretty good! Based on my limited knowledge, (mostly from Nemo) the little black dots are the baby fish, and should be hatching very soon! Watch the adult fish to make sure they don't gobble up the babies!

You're Welcome! Currently trying to raise my first batch of betta eggs!
