Silverdollarboy2 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Here are some photos of my two fighters in a betta duo tank http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l350/CurtissKittyhawke/imagejpg3_zps20e740a7.jpg Got this one at animates today http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l350/CurtissKittyhawke/imagejpg2_zpsc165c8c5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanityChelle Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi, if you can get a picture of them flareing (hold a mirror up to them and they will), we'll be able to tell if they halfmoon, super delta or delta. In terms of rarity, "Killer" is a common red/blue crowntail with severely broken fin tips. Does he spend much time against that grate? If he does, the current might be too much for him. The white one (I can't see his tail that well) looks to have a few red spots on him, and rather messy fins. Maybe slightly uncommon because of the white? But not much above the ones usually weekly imported to Animates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Killer looks like a pretty tough guy. But yeah as Sam said it looks like hes damaged his rays The lighting is pretty bright on the new one so we cant see much of his colour but looking at his face it appears that he has some dragon in him Are his fins orange or yellow? Tail wise he looks vt or delta (cant really see the tail rays in this photo) both tail types are common though. But if you can get a side on flaring picture we will know for sure what he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Could somebody help please The tank getting a lot of algae.The pump is pumping but because the holes are to small in the divider hardly any water is going though the media. I had it on high but because it was too fast I put it on low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanityChelle Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 What type of algae is it? What colour? How long has the tank been set up for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I think it's brown algae pretty sure that it's common in new tanks. Any ideas what to do to make sure lots of water is going through the media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanityChelle Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I've never heard of the gaps in the Duo's dividers being too small. Maybe try posting on the kiwi Siamese Fighters group on Facebook. I know people there have the same tank as you, I'm sure they'll be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 How often are you changing the water and what are you feeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Set the tank up 4 weeks ago.Did a 45% water change 2 weeks later and I will do one tomorrow.Using an algae scraper makes a difference.I am feeding granocolour and freeze dried bloodworms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymate Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Isn't algae to do with light. Green too much light, brown not enough, could be wrong so don't be afraid to correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanityChelle Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 It's not always. It depends on the type of algae. Some appear when there's too much nutrients in the water, or too much light, or when the tank is just going through it's cycling process. This one is probably just from new tank syndrome. Just keep up the water changes (maybe do 30% every week rather than once every two weeks), and keep the substrate nice and tidy so dirt doesn't build up. If it gets really bad, cover the tank up completely for three days (the fish will be fine without food for this long), and the worst of the algae should die off.

Adrienne Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks,the veil tailed one jumped out a week or two ago. Dead? If so thats bad luck but they are good jumpers. Best to have a tank with lids on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Dead? If so thats bad luck but they are good jumpers. Best to have a tank with lids on.

Silverdollarboy2 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I pulled the divider out so killer gets the whole tank: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Now I'm looking for a small schooling fish that can escape an angry betta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 If you want that to happen you all need to put in a whole lot more plant cover for any small fish. What makes you think he will chase them? Not all fighters do, some ignore other fish completely and others only chase fish that annoy them.

Silverdollarboy2 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Because when I was cycling the tank he was put in a betta box that floats in a tank.While he was in it he flared at every fish that cam past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjansss Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 My Betta loves to hang out with other fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 You really won't know until you put him in with other fish. I used to have my male in a community tank with lots of plants. The other fish left him alone so he ignored them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
