We welcomed two Betta's in our home today(housed seperatly). My kids are excited about them Very Happy We named them Sushi & Sashimi Laughing One is very blue and the other is red and purple. I can't wait to actually start a tank, but I am just not ready yet. I know nothing about starting a tank.

LOL I LOVE THE NAMES lol!
What do you mean starting a tank? For breeding?

1 male beta can go into a tank with other fish like goldies and the like. but they cant be housed with guppies or other aggressive tropicals. angel fish are the devil (my least fav fish they are freakin evil)

<3 congrats on the sushi and sashimi -- please dont eat them LOL

(yes I think I am a hoot crazy )

No, actually starting a fish tank. I kill every fish I try adding to tank, I gave up years ago. When I am in a bigger house I want a 55 gallon tank with some cool fish. Until then I will just have my bowls of Betta's...lol

I love their names, my kids act like they are greeting japanese when they say their names. The bow and everything, too funny!

well i can help you with that. i do a lot of fish stuff (I am a loser i dabble in everything)

you need 1 gal of water per inch of fish.

10 gal tank is cheap and a great starting size.

you need stress coat, fish food (lol), if you are using tap or well water salt (bought in the pet isle), cycle, and the big bang PRIME (which takes out nitrates chlorine amonia etc)

follow the directions on the bottles and your tank should go great. depending on your fish I would recogmind taking 10-20% of the water out a week and replacing it with 1-2x a year doing a entire tank scrub down. Smile

lol! I do a lot of 'experiments' with fish putting different species together and the like, so i am pretty good with telling which species can go together and whatnot. though they say betas like small bowls that is bull. I put mine in a 1-5 gallon tank depending on my resources at any given time. give only 3 pellets a day as they will either not eat them or will over eat the pellets. old pellets in the tank will turn into mold (gross)

Good luck Smile Let me know if you have other questions. petco/smart are GREAT places to talk to about starting tanks too, lol!
