Pet Forum / Aquaria / Freshwater / August 2006

I have two koi angel fish, both approx. 1 year old who grew up
together. Both are about 3" in the body, with substantially longer
fins. They have always bickered a lot, chased each other around the
tank, took turns being the bully. But lately their behavior has become

Am new to bettas and was wondering how big of a tank is needed for 1
betta??
I would like to get 2 and was wondering if I could have 2 in one tank
and if so how big a tank??

My office tank has been running a little hot lately (82-84+) . The room temp
hovers around 28°C at the moment, so the SAEs are near their max temp?
I did a water change recently and matched the input temp  to the existing
tank temp. The next night I saw an SAE lying on the bottom ...

recently, 3 days ago I found a dragonfly nymph in my fish tank! it must
have come in with the plants cos there's no other possible away, unless
a pair of dragonflies snuck in the middle of the night, got into the
tank cover and mated? I now have this nymph in a water-filled jam jar

I think I'll ask the group about the proper care and stewardship of Mono
Seabaes.  I picked 4 up at Walmart not long ago.  I read where they

scenario, a customer with a 10 or 20 gallon aquarium just can't live  
without a couple of those cute little baby Oscars or Jack ...

For all the Clown Loach keepers, I'm curious as to how large I can
expect them to become being kept in my 55 Gal.  I've read where they can
grow to be impressive sizes and I understand that they take a long time
to reach their full lengths. I received these as a gift and I'm

I've got a tigerbarb which is not in a good condition.
He's got werid puffed up gills and like red bits coming out of the
bottom of his gills..like red circluar bits - am not sure if this is
his gills inflammed or some sort of bad growth and his fins keep

Finally a good article on Bettas in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine.
(Koi-Lo...please read it. It basically says every thing I have been
saying over and over that you claim is my own opinion, and not fact.
Learn something and give your bettas the proper care they need!)

Well Well...If It isn't Roy Boi Hauer.  Using another person's name
from the Aquaria groups and a member's identity from the Google
