    Blind Betta?

    I don't have a chance to get any soon This sucks
  4. Not sure on where to get them from, there are some in Aus so I'd look there seeing as they're the closest and most similar to us. But they cost $50 ea! Perhaps Singapore or similar? As for tips, just do your research. There are many one here (myself included) that'd be keen for these little critters, but you'll need to find a larger market. Good luck!
  5. I could make plans if you want, limited to Google Sketchup though 8) The tanks are unqiue but the bioload would have to be tiny, wouldn't it? :-?

    Blind Betta?

    He's a great looking fish. Are you sure? It's more of a film over his eye rather than the eye itself "Popping" out.
  7. I'm just glad he's doing okay now Jumped out of his nest when I went to change the water, put him back in but he's keen to stay out :roll:

    Blind Betta?

    I'm not having very much luck with my fish really First they got whitepot and now this: It's quite prominant and has only appeared in the past two or three days. What is it? What can I do about it? Thanks
  9. Garuntee? Me thinks you should take in your fastest and most difficult to photograph fish and see if the can garuntee THAT! :lol:
  10. Looks like I did it completely wrong, but only recieved help when that was realised :oops: He is in a box with some dacron inside the cage with ther parents. They are feeding themselves and appear to be hopping back up to the "nest" and feeding him. They are all alive this morning and the cage is in the office/fishroom which stays far warmer than anywhere else. He is making his little sounds. Is that okay? :-?

  12. Thanks Mark! Put him in his open box back in their cage, he's cheeping heaps and they're jumping around trying to find food. Thanks all!
  13. He seems to be fine with milk? :-? I'll try putting him back, but if they parents reject him, I'll be taking him to school
  14. Really? The parents would take him back? How shall I do it? Just put him with the box n their cage?
  15. Okay, we've taken him out of the cage and he turns out to be quite the character. He likes to snuggle into our hands and eats readily. I tapped/squeezed the sides of his beak and he open his mouth. With a syringe, we put a weetbix and milk warm mix paste down his throat. He chirped for more and more but eventually he stopped so we put him back in his new box. His new box has dacron in it and is covered by a fine curtain mesh because apparently, he can fly What do I do from here? Mum reckons we should try putting him back with the parents. I think that's a bad idea, if he's eating from us then why change it? The parents are barely eating themselves! Any help? Please? :-?

    Did you breed that stunning CT?

    Some pics

    I really wish I had room for these.
  18. The nest box is in the cage with the parents but they're just sitting outside it Might make a little mush mix for it and see if it eas that, no harm in trying right? Recipes?
  19. My aviary is being moved but I have to keep the two Zebra finches for a while, until it's setup again. Thankfully last inorganic day our neighbours threw out their old mouse cage. Went on up to grab them and noticed that one of their eggs (thought to be infertile) had hatched or a baby bird had just appeared out of no where. Anyways... I am going to remove the old eggs but the parents aren't looking after their single young. It has it's first feathers but they're looking a bit manky at the moment. They're not even going into the nesting box where the young bird is. I will get some pics later. What can I feed it/what should I do?! Thanks!
  20. A popular method of seperating the males is to put them in soda bottles inside a larger aquarium. Just drill a few holes in them for water flow and pack in as many as you need/can fit. Then use a single heater to heat all the water.
  21. They can SURVIVE at room temperature but will not THRIVE at it. They become more susceptible to diseases at the lower temps. 24-28 is a good temp for them.

    sand??

    I use just sand in two of my tanks, the same sand with peat underneath in another. Just bought a big bag of coarse sand from out the back of Mitre10 Mega, make sure you wash it well. Looks great no problems so far. Much nicer than gravel IMO.
