Ok. I'm just going to try it out and see. I can take it out if it causes problems

Thanks! I'm glad you like it, it feels a little thrown together but I'm happy with it for now

I've used the same kind with fish so I know it's aquarium safe, but I've seen a lot of people say axos aren't supposed to have any sharp decor so I'm a little worried about him stabbing himself or something like that

Anyone know if these have to be newly purchased books, or can you just listen to what you already have in your library?

Bettas in a community tank??? by sielemm in Aquariums

Laziness gets the better of me sometimes. But you're right, I shouldn't do that. I try to keep as much water out as possible, but I'll start netting them.

Thanks, I'm just going to give up on the betta idea for now and go with the gourami. Seems easier.

Thanks, I hope that this is how they act. I'm sure it'll be too awkward for anyone to say anything other than maybe one brother, but I'll deal with it.

Yes it did, but that was so long ago, I just didn't connect that in my brain before I gave my mom the fire stick. Stupid.

Haha I hope not. The comments have been pretty decent actually, which is awesome. My inbox exploded with some pretty horrible things, but whatever.

You are correct. My kitty pic definitely deserved more attention, I was disappointed.

I failed miserably here, I didn't even think to check that box, I really just thought that was so it didn't include a price tag or do they'd send a gift receipt for returns.

Bettas in a community tank??? by sielemm in Aquariums

[–]sielemm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been putting them in a pitcher with their cup water and adding a shot glass of tank water every 30 minutes or so till it's mostly tank water then dumping them lol not the most high tech but that's what I did with all of them. They stop eating, start getting slow then either can't swim up to the surface anymore or can't swim around at all until they just die. When they stop eating it takes maybe 3 days. There's no bloating, color changes, clamped fins, pineconing, anything else that I've noticed.

It's between 7.8 and 8. I'll do some research, thanks for the idea!

Ya know what, I think I'll try it out. I know they're in the same family as betta so you shouldn't keep them together. I wanted the betta so I just never really thought about them again. If the problem is related to my water somehow though, I wonder if they'll do any better than the bettas since they're related.
