Fish Lovers 3.0 [new poll]

[scuttlefish]

I'm starting a fish business and I need to come up with a clever name for it, something that is easy on the eye, and easy to say. Hopefully that has something to do with fish, but if I can't come up with anything maybe something else.

Anybody like to help me?

Nevermind, I finally thought of something

Tell more plz!

A few weeks ago I got a new betta! He had problems even getting to the top of his cup his swim bladder was so bad, but with a little TLC, he's good as new now! His name is Anakin, after the Star Wars movies. He was very tiny and very skinny compared to my other bettas, but is already a lot bigger! Here's Ani!

I've known of a few that keep them much longer than that. To the point where they have actual died of old age. It's a small store, so maybe that's why they keep them so long.

Tank size
1 gallon

Water parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH)
I honestly have no idea

Water change schedule
It's changed completely every month

How long tank has been set up
Since I got him in September

Is it cycled
No, it's a betta bowl

Tankmates (if any)
None

Food and feeding schedule
Once a day, five of the betta food pieces

This is how my family and I have taken care of them for years and all of our fish have lived around three years (except for one which was sick when we got it). We have never any any kind of problem with this method before.

Hello everybody! I'm new to this thread. c:

How many fish tanks do you have:
2. 1 40 gallon and a little 3 gallon(If you don't count the 3 one gallon bowls. I can't even call them tanks)

Types of fish that you have:
7 Adult mollies,2 black, 2 creamcicle lyretails, and 3 silvers. There's only one male. Plus 15 fry (1 month old! And are all silver). They're all in the 40. I plan on keeping the 3 as a nursery for fry until they're big enough not to be eaten.

Your fishs' names:
Bubba (Male Lyretail), Karma (Female Lyretail), Momo, Platinum, Mercury (All female silvers. Only I can tell them apart!), Crow and Raven (Raven has an iridescent green back.)

How long have you had fish:
Well, I got my 40 gallon last year I think for my birthday. When it reaches January it'll officially be 2 years old!

I might as well add a few short things about my fish keeping experience.

I first got into the hobby when I met my friend (Who I convinced to join CS) and had a sleepover at her house. She had 2 55 gallon tanks. One had a turtle and the other a swarm of tetras. I knew I had fell in love.

I got my tank as a late Christmas/early birthday gift. A day or two after I got my tank filled up with water (Which took over 2 hours considering I had to fill it up one quart at a time.) I got fish. I feel so bad thinking about it. I had no clue what the nitrogen cycle was or anything. Zip. None. Nadda. I think I got 6 neon tetras, 4 hatchet fish, a betta, a few mollies and platies, some black phantom tetra, 2 peppered corries, and 2 clown plecos. All in the same day.

The longest fish that lived were the plecos. My plecos died not to long ago when I medicated with some ich med that I got from some new mollies I had introduced. I didn't know it had a high risk of killing fish with no scales! My betta passed from dropsy (I tried very hard to cure it. He didn't make it though.) my corries from the nippy phantom tetras, my neons from who knows what (They lasted at most 2 weeks.) I've learned from my mistakes. I'll try and get a picture if I can. It is a bit bare right now since I removed decorations that my fish kept getting injured on.

It's just a tank maintaining and setting up business. Also works with reptiles and a,phobias but that's something else.

Temperature? Plants? pH? Do you want live-bearing fish? Any specific colours? Do you want easy or more difficult fish? It's hard to offer suggestions if you don't give any guidelines.

I have 100$, (spending 40 on tank), getting a 20 gallon tank, easy preferred, difficult accepted and most likely will order java moss and the like, And in general the more colorful, the better.

Platies, mollies, endler's livebearers and guppies are all small and colorful livebearing fish. They're super easy to care for and full of personality, and also really colorful. I think they can all be kept together except for mollies, because they're brackish.

Just had my water tested and I have a lot of ammonia in my water (luckily no fish for it to effect) and I need to wait for the good bacteria to grow and stuff, I can't wait until I can get some fish, hopefully soon though, that is the community tank, I really want to get another tank for my room and have a betta, I've been eying a lovely young male crowntail who is blue red and purple, really canny looking fish.
