Hello i have got myself some Golden Apple Snails, and has just read that lots of fish, including Bettas (which i have) will eat or try to eat them.
What fish are they okay with?
i would like to have them in a tank with Red Spot Pleco, kuhli loach, silver sharks, neons.
thanks

Hello, i want to redecorate my short finned eel tank. I want to give her/him a rocky backdrop with hide holes and maybe some land with ponds/little streams/water fall, and some plants.
i just got it back and all i have for it is a log, some substrate and water. and i dont think thats very nice considering my tropicals have a cool tank.
can i use silica sand in my eel tank? i want something nicer than just plain gravel.
if anyone can help it would be awesome
-
can u pick them up and hold them, are they friendly??
-
poor thing .
When I see how much my bettas enjoy their tank and swim around the plants investigating everything , it makes me sad seeing the petshop bettas sitting at the bottom of little cubicles motionless and looking dejected.
it was an experiment and he is so much bigger and healthier than his siblings. i havent done that to all them, just wanted to see if he would grow faster

i have young males in jars in our hotwater cupboard. brought out at night to feed. we experimented with one male , when they were 6 weeks old we took one out, not the largest. put it in one of those small baby food jars u get (this was an experiment remember) and feed it up. he had hardly any water and is now got nice flowing fins, nice and bright for being in the dark most of the time. and is at least 3 times the size of the rest who have been in lots of water. interesting experment we thought.
-
rest of tail is nice colour. i will get test kit tomorrow, i run out,changing water for him . i think its a case of perhaps not enough room so will fix that up.
-
thats the thing, he is the ONLY thing in his tank, boring i know. there is nothing he can catch it on. either for somereason his rotted or he ate it
-
no, he is all by himself. as said he is a Veiltail betta, its his rear fin that has missing part and its not like hes eaten from end up the whole thing, its the back half of the fin that has half missing. i hope that makes sense.
if you think about a VT blowing its tail out and it being cut in half longways, its the back half that is half as long as the rest of the fin. looks strange, there are a few long spike hanging off it and a couple of bits of fin on the bottom of tank.
he is still swimming well.
-
as subject says, my VT male has eaten half his tail, he had a lovely lovely long tail so long and flowing, we had to go to town for 2 nights and came home to find that he has eaten half of his pretty tail. why? how can i tell if it is fin rot or him eating it,? none of my numerous other betta males have eaten their tails.
please help me, how do i help him get "well" and grow it back?
-
must have been a big import. i get mine this week.
-
did u ever have any luck wiht them
-
we have jars in the hot water cupboard as u know and use a 50ml syringe to get the waste out, less stress than tipping it out. hubby has an idea about having them in the large peanut butter jars in a tank with holes and a pump circulating the water.
-

-

-

-

-
I'm about to start breeding my Betta's so I need all the help I can get. Any chance of some pics of your breeding setup?
-
let them fight it out and the fittest will survive instead of culling them.
jokes... xp

-
not going to give up but have to slow down until we come back from holiday - have about 300 fry atm.
is that all :lol: must have near 500 in total and hubby wants to breed our crowntail girl who is ready.
-
11 week old fighter are blowing nests already!!!!!
im talking about the one that we experimented with he is huge and blowing nests
as is some of the little 11 week olds that i removed to try and catch them up, they are now as big as the rest of the smaller 11 week old batch. there is tiny nests in the container they are in. freaky.
-
a female making a nest hmmmmmm id question her?
-
what a nice looking tank and fish. he looks happy, they only build nests when happy (or so im told). and i doubt that much scum would build up over night. be careful with filter current, sometimes the boys dont like strong currents.
if you do breed, be careful you will fall in love with at least half ur fry and not want them to go away. (thats what has happened to me )
Shortfinned Eel tank redecoration
in Coldwater

it wasnt so much to create land areas for it, it was to make give it a nice natural sort of appearance, with a small waterfall, stream, plants hanging into the water, giving it some cool hiding spots
thanks for the advice for river sand
