...and maybe some neon tetras.

I have 14 neon tetras, they're awesome. In the store they looked pale and skittish, but in my tank (for a few months now) they are absolutely thriving - sleek, shiny and active, with amazing deep metallic colors. Love them

The other day I brought home a new Betta! His name is Frasier and he's a light orange/copper dalmatian Half Moon. He's now living in one of my empty 2.5 gallons.

Today I found Ryuu dead He was 2 years old. I have no idea why he died </3

I'm wondering whether or not to put Frasier in Ryuu's old 15 gallon. It's a column tank though (Ryuu was a Plakat) and Frasier's fins might get too heavy for him to reach the surface as he grows. Thoughts?

Hey guys! Today I came home with two bettas! One is a present for my dad, the other I will be keeping. Neither have names yet, but I would like a name thats a color for my boy. Any ideas?

My dad's new fish
My new boy

EDIT:
I decided on the name Patriarch (Pay-tree-are-ck), Patri for short for my new boy!

I got one of my ADFs to eat blood worms from my fingers tonight. It was sooooo cute.

I just did a water change with my 10 gallon and I didn't realize it took as long as it did. I started at 9:30 and ended at 11! Phew, Ineed to keep that in mind for next time!

Wow! What percent were you changing? That is a long time! My 30 gallon doesn't take that long! (Though, granted, the 30g has no substrate.)

I was doing the montlhy 75% change that I usually do. Though I may add that I don't have an aquarium vaccum and I'm stuck to carrying a pitcher from my room (where the tank is kept) to my bathroom and then moving the emptied tank to clean it about halfway through.

Ah, that's why! I use an aquarium vac. Makes it a lot easier!!

Can a female betta be housed with cories?

I just recently moved my female betta Fiora into my other betta fish's ten gallon tank. {He passed a while ago. ono} I've been wanting to get her some tankmates. Her tank looks so empty and she's still pretty young so it looks huge compared to her. I was thinking maybe a small shoal of pygmy cories. All that I've read about it so far has said that it's fine but I thought i'd get a second opinion just to be on the safe side. ^^

I've never personally had cories, but a lot of my betta owning friends do. They should be fine as long as the betta isn't overly aggressive! Just make sure, as always, to have a back-up option in case things go downhill.
