one of the fish ate the corries fins but didnt kill them.... any idea why? they are still living anad it doesnt seem to bother them..... </3
this happened a while ago.
Well... Oscars are quite BIG on the predator side, so I think that's your villain. Weird it didn't eat the corries, though they do have pretty tough armor, so maybe that's why. But as safety measure I'd maybe move the corries to another tank, or they might really end up as Oscar snack some day... It's slight concern if the corrie's fins aren't growing back... Like do they have fin rot, or is someone nipping their fins as they grow...
--snip--
well they are slowly growing back and it looks like they were ripped not fin rot, but should i move them to my african ciclid tank?
they are smaller than my parrot fish and oscar right now (ALOT smaller)
edit; it might be fin rot but its been going on for a while and they seem happy and they swim entergeticly around....?
edit 2; a while as in about a year...
edit 3; maybe the oscar is eating the fins as they go... :[
edit 4; you know what ill take a picture.
Its absolutely the oscar, the other fish dont have the mouth to bite its fins off. Don't put it in with the africans, they'll likely beat it up and rip it's eyes out.
I'd get the cories somewhere else, as the oscar is going to be big enough to swallow it soon, which will likely result in both fish dying because of the spines cories have.

Okay so i was websearching and stumbled upon
This thank.
Wouldn't it be cool if the bowl on top had a diameter of a 46 gallon bowfront, and then an undergravel filter and an easy attatchable heater (if its not for gold fishes) and an air stone for circulation. The lid does stay on,but it has a hinge flip up section like most lids. The undergravel filter fits under the tank in the "Quarter section" it can stay locked for those nosy kids that get into everything. all you have to do is twist and pull the handle to open it

Wouldn't that be an awesome fishtank?

I am thinking a lot and I found many fishes I really like. I love the L 46 absolut fishdream, but too expensive for my pocket money. I also found the L 236 it isn't so expensive but I heard that it is one of the most L Catfishes that get crossed with other Hypancistrus

Does anyone has experience?

10 gallon is too small for two bettas! 15 gallon should it be! I don't know how it is with your animal rights in your country but in Germany you have the minimum size of 15 gallon (54l) for bettas! But there is still the high breeding who like it a bit tighter and then 10 gallon would be ok. But remember don't take two males!

Actually, a 10 gallon is perfectly fine for two bettas. And if it's divided two makes should also be fine.
When buying a divider make sure to get a black or solid coloured one c:
I don't know too much about divided tanks since I've never had one, but considering bettas are usually kept in 2.5 - 5 gallon tanks a 10 gallon divided should be good.

ten gallons is perfect for four or five female bettas, but because males like their space it would work for two males.
you can divide any size of tank as well, I saw a guy who divided a 50 gallon into quarters for his breeding pairs of bettas.
