Managed to get a couple of nice shots of 2 of my girls. Here they are......any comments most welcome.......just hope they can find nice boys to pass on there good looks This is "Palace" she has a nice even butterfly pattern....that dosen't show up in the pics unfortunately. This is Myth, she has a lovely tail.......nice fins alround I think! (apart from the little nip out of the anal fin) Now off to catch the other 4 on film LOL

This is the first site I came across in my research http://badmanstropicalfish.com/brackish/brackish.html

Welcome to the group.....glad to have you here

Thanks for the advice guys......very much appreciated! Now, would they be OK in the hex tank........or more suited to a longer tank. The trouble is I have been offered a good deal on a 750Wx450Dx500H with hang on filter.........I mention this to hubby and he said was was looking forward to making a stand, hood and surrounds for the Hex tank I have........BLAST IT!

Does anyone have one? What are the requirements? What fish do you keep? Just really curious.......thinking this might be an option for my next tank :roll:

YAY for Richard.......looks like a bloke to me

Welcome aboard, glad to have you here with us......Look forward to hearing more from you.

YUP......I know it has a leak......but it was one of those......I bid on it then forgot about it :roll: So......I will check it out when I eventually get it, & follow your advice and fill it outside ........the good thing is that I'm in no hurry (this time round LMAO) Thanks very much for the story

Right Got that I was thinking of a hangon type filter.....are these any good?

OK, I want to get an external filter......but I have never ever had one, so really have no idea how they work. Anyone want to shed some light? :roll:

My common Pleco has changed and decided to be a big Meanie I have 2 angels spawning.....he has eaten their eggs a few times, but now he is chasing them and trying to suck onto their tails Whats up with that?

Yup thats the tank off trade me.........I put an autobid on it and forgot.....got it for $40. I'm not really keen on discus (yet :roll: ) So, guessing that my angels have a new home coming up........not sure what I could put with them. Thanks for all the help so far.

here is the pic of it :oops: OMG......I almost forgot!!!!!!! What sort of fish am I gonna put it in?

OK so I bought another tank....... :roll: It is a Hex, 900mm tall and around 440mm wide (have no idea how I'm gonna clean it. It's still in Auckland at my mums place, so haven't actually seen it yet. Anyway was wonder what type of filter would suit this tank.....what should I keep an eye out for? I'm not in any hurry to set it up, so can take my time gathering the items needed. Also ideas on heaters and lighting please........would underwater lighting do any good on a tank this deep?

Wahooooo get in quick Aucklanders

WOW What amazing fish.......thanks for your help, very much appreciated

Well done on all the fry I don't know if he has crowntail in him as that trait is very distinct. Not sure if I am allowed but here is a link to a crowntail i like. http://www.australianbettaforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7001

This is a pic of a Halfmoon used with permission from http://www.puggletopia.com Also trying to get my hands on a pic of a Roundtail.....which he could be also?

IMHO he is a stunning VT......reminds me alot of my 1st betta Uno......I think his pics are in the beginning of this post.

Are the 2 pics of the same fish? Is he flaring in the pics? I am trying to learn, so trying to look for clues

Welcome, glad to have you here

Welcome aboard

Welcome.....glad to have you here

I would say he is a lovely looking VT ( Veiltail ) that has had his tail a bit nipped......very nice colour too!

I am still learning but had a look at the pics. Can you see an egg spot? Although some males can show eggspots aswell :roll: He could be a short finned male....a Plakat I can't see what her ventrals look like........ the ventral fins are the two little ones at the front that look like arms. They are proportionately longer in males than females. Does your fish flare at it's reflection.....have you tried sticking a mirror in front of him/her? blowing a bubblenest isn't a 100% indication that a betta is male, but a betta who does blow bubblenests is far more likely to be male than female
