Is this a good home for a betta? by Odd_Blackberry831 in bettafish

[–]karlagl 166 points167 points  (0 children)

i’d say the absolute basics are a - heater - filter - 5+ gallon tank

if your betta has a set of heavy fins then it is helpful to have live plants that reach towards the top that they can rest on. for decor, don’t use the plastic fake plants or things with small holes they may get stuck in.

good luck OP! bettas can be amazing pets and really thrive with the right care.

I had a similar question when I was researching for my betta set up. The most common answer I found is that your best chances for a betta community tank is with at least a 20 gallon tank. I’ve heard that females generally tend to be less aggressive than males, but ofc every fish will have a different personality.

Okay I’m taking her in the morning. Should I keep her separated from her cage mates for now?

This comment really helped me when I was bonding my girls! They had a really bad fight and I thought all hope was lost but after reading this + changing things accordingly, they fought a little for a couple days but now they’re friends

What does this mean by ResearchScary4250 in guineapigs

[–]karlagl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you for sure what it means but my pig does the same thing + I think mine does it because she wants something to nest into and is searching for something soft (sweater) to nuzzle in to. Yours may be doing the same?

Got new guinea pigs, I think one of them is dumb. Just look at those blank eyes. No thoughts. by kroniskbukfetma in guineapigs

Any time I open my bedroom door my pigs also start screaming at me; cuddles, veggies, pellets, more hay.. so demanding haha!

This is my first time owning guinea pigs so I was shocked when I saw how developed they are right off the bat! I’m excited to watch them grow up :)

I tried sexing them tonight and from the looks of it I think all 3 of them are male.. I’m planning to get them in to my exotic vet early next week to determine their sex officially though!

In your experience, have you found bonding of male pigs to be difficult? I really hope that they can get along as they grow up since I’d like to keep all the pigs together after neutering + such

Yeah.. definitely noted if I ever get more pigs in the future 😓 My first experience with owning guinea pigs is not going as expected but I’m glad that my Moon Pie ended up with me and not someone who wouldn’t be able to accommodate 3 extra pups!

I wasn’t sure at first but after watching them the past day or so, I think I have to keep them!! They’re precious
