I too have been tempted to do a sorority in my 4 ft one day but feel the risks are too high with personality and temperaments of individual bettas which are highly unknown until you put them into the tank together. Plus to do it "right" and to have back up tanks with all the equipment for 5+...

Thanks everyone! I bought the sera snail trap and am catching them and putting them into a spare tank for the moment, when I have a bunch I'll find somewhere to give/trade them

I would love one of those but I can't get them in Australia unfortunately - They are a banned species here

I am starting to have a snail problem in my 4ft despite being meticulous, or so I thought, in removing them from plants prior to putting them into the tank. I think they are ramshorn snails. I have been manually removing them as I see them but there is just more and more babies. The tank is...

I didn't know I had even pressed that function - really sorry all, was not on purpose and really appreciate all the input

Hi! Can anyone please suggest some easy to grow (non c02) foreground plants that don't grow much higher than 5cm? All my tanks are in need of some filling out in the front region Thank you in advance!

(Well for now anyway ha)

Thanks guys, yeah tbh I expected as much on the livestock front but thought I'd ask anyway! I have no problems keeping it critter free and think I'll go ahead with the planted bowl idea thing instead, as I said it is just a side project - something to keep me busy and stop me from buying another...

Just curious really. I am getting the bug to do some more aquarium related things and thought this would be a fun side project for perhaps shrimp (thinking of red nose shrimp which only bread in brackish water so no chance of overpopulation) or even just for some aquatic plants as a feature...

I do 2 x 10% wc in this tank (75 litres) and in my other tank 1 x 20% - if that info is important also

Thanks for replying and that is a good point. The only reason I do the twice weekly is because he has long fins, I normally do once weekly but like to get the poop from the substrate out twice a week for this tank/tail type to avoid it dragging on excess amounts of poop. Do you think I should go...

Hi, I've read that white stringy poop can be a sign of internal parasites in fish? I've had my newest betta George for around 3 weeks, and whilst doing the latest water change noticed there was what I thought to be stingy white poop (was not 100% sure if it was white/stringy "enough" in the...

Looks amazing!!

Oh! Very new indeed I would say once he is more settled into his new home he will feel more comfortable and colour up a bit more! What colour is he supposed to be? Is he a wild betta species? From the photo he looks to be so?!

Wow, I really had no idea.. thank you for the heads up. Thankfully, I used the leftover as extra mulch on the veggie patch
