Little Miss.Sunshine asked:


I have been noticing that my little tetra fish is rubbing against the Beta. What could this mean? He’s done it about three times this week. The temperature is fine, and they have enough room in the tank, 10 gallons, I also have 4 more tetras in the tank with him (knowing that tetras need to live in a pack).
“Rubbing” as in, he swipes his body side to side on the betas fin quickly then swims away.

I have a female beta fish that we got at Walmart (I’m glad we saved her) in September 2006, she looks pretty healthy and has a nice pure color still, how much longer will she live?

I will be gone on vacation for one week. I feed my beta the regular beta fish food. However, I wondered about what to feed him while I am away on vacation. Will the five day fish feeder shell be okay for the beta fish or can it be harmful to them? I appreciate your opinions!

Buzz B asked:


I just got a darling little beta fish. I want to take good care of him (or her) what is some good advice?

Ahkeem asked:


I’ve had my beta fish for 3 years and recently he began to lose his coloring and his fins. He turns over like he’s about to die but when I tap the side of the fish bowl and he turned bake to normal. Is he about to die.
he’s in a tank.

We placed the rocks in the fish bowl overnight with water but now the water looks cloudy. We also put a little de-chlorinator in too. I don’t want to put our new pet in the cloudy water if it is going to kill him.
Also, has anyone tried arranging lucky bamboo in their beta fish bowl?

Heather asked:


I am thinking about having large brandy glasses with blue and clear gems in the bottom. Having a beta fish in the middle and a rose shaped floating candle on top. I plan on giving these away by putting a ticket on the bottom of one chair at each table and if they don’t want it they can give it to someone who wants it. I would also get some beta fish food and put it in a little bag and wrapping ribbon around it to give with the fish. Does this sound like a good idea.

FLAL asked:


I heard Beta fish will kill eachother if they are put in the same container. When is the breeding seson for Beta Fish? Also, how do i breed them without killing either of them?

miweir46 asked:


I bought a planter with a beta fish bowl in the base. It has a nice water lily in the planter but I have not added the beta who I have called Leroy. There was no real instruction with it. If anyone has the same planter could you email me.
Thank you , Millie
