yup they r the ones mate. another good method is place a plastic cup in the tank on the bottom. put a peice of potatoe in there with some skin still on. just a corner of a potatoe. then leave it in over night. then in the mornin scoop the cup out before turning the light on and do that for a few days till u get urself some assassin snails. that will reduce the number's for when u gat ur snails. also if the assassins manage to clear the tank of the snails they will survive on either algae wafers and blood worm. they do eat other stuff but they r the main 2 foods iv'e seen mine snacking on.

Nice one bud. someone told me about the cup an a peice of potatoe. but i thought they were takin the piss lol!!

Nice love betta's am gunna set up a small breeding and breed some nice thorough bred betta's off the net. cost like 25 kwid to 40 kwid a fish tho. u can get giant betta's too. exactly the same but can grow like 5 times the size of a normal. just aint as much selection in the colours yet.

but id stick urs in the breeder box for the night. let him out tomoz if any of em go for him or he goes for any of them. catch him again and leav him in the box for longer. then keep doing that till they/him accepts they have gotta be friendly. another REALLY good method (but requires a tank without a hood. is to get a 2 litre empty bottle. burn lotsa holes is in with a solderin iron. cut the top off and dangle it in the water. then stick a stick thru 1 side and straight thru the other side so the stick goes acrosse the tank and suspends the bottle in the water. hard to explain but u probs have a hood so just use the breeder.

no probs mate. hope u get abit more snail-less in the next few days lol.

Yeah WW also advised to turn the light off when I put him in so they all sleep, come morning they'll be friends. I just popped him in and had no problems

we have a beautiful gold fish called goldie , !

one ranchu goldie
one fancy goldie
2 four inch shubunkins who let you stroke them ,just like pets.

Also kept gouramis varieties but we never had much luck with them.

Gotta love Andys Aquatics

and maybe the answer to your betta problem might be to get a piece of clear thin perspex the height/width of your tank and carefully slide it in and section off an area you could keep him in without him fighting . That way you could still watch him flare .

Ps Burn small holes in it 1st mind so that your still get water movement/oxygen to him

Betta is perfect, no problems from him!

is right. glad for ya danny lad as it can go bad sometimes. shit dat they r so hard to breed like and to keep together woz would be good to have a male and female swimming round ta tank togeva.

I've not got too many fish at the moment, used to have a nice range in my 3 foot tank but that now belongs to my hubby's rat and she doesn't like sharing lol. My 2 daughters have a small moby dick tank each, one is tropical but only has 2 large tiger barbs and a small plec. Have kept male and female bettas in it but the longest they live in it is about 8 months. If there's only a male they seem to last only a couple of months.
The other daughter's tank contains 5 fancy goldfish and 5 white cloud minnows. We also successfully relocated our one last neon tetra and a solitary gold barb into the same coldwater tank with no problems. She also had two very cute hong kong plecs for about 2 years but now somewhere in the garden after being found belly up a few months apart.

can anyone tell me why this post has 5 stars on it ???????
