    So how big do N. sanguinea grow?

    Hum...... Half of me wants to see it grow into the ceiling, but the other half wants to cut the growth tip off. So if the growing tip is cut off, the plant will start growing from a basil on the stem somewhere?

    So how big do N. sanguinea grow?

    Hey guys got a quick question for you. Sorry it’s been a while, but life's been crazy. So how tall does N. sanguinea grow? I know it depends on lighting and genetics, but on average how big? Cause it’s a wonder how your babies grow, and I’m staring at one right now that is just over 4 feet tall...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    I kinda figured, but honestly I was being petty and I was kinda peeved at rattlers comment. :blush: And I have done a large amount of research, but reading something, then looking at your fish to find out what is going is pretty difficult. And on the salt, the one I use is made from sea salt, so...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    Sorry for the wait guys, I went off for the weekend on a trip. My Betta does have fin rot. I have been treating with maracin, and been doing 100% water changes, as well as adding aquarium salt. His tail has cleared up except for one or two patches, which are pretty much gone. Thanks for all the...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    We didnt have a liquid kit, but we did have a solid strip kit. I figure I will pick one up today as we are running by petsmart. I checked the soild one, and everything except the ph was fine. the ph is 7.8, which is a little too high. I'm wondering if when the water was changed its changed the...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    Need some Help! Guys, I need some help. Yesterday me and my dad did a water change, around half a gallon or so. Today, looking at my betta, i notice his rear fins looked ragged and brown, and kinda falling apart. Is it fin rot? We may not have left the water alone with the cleaner in it long...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    Oh, I did not know about cycling tanks. There are no living plants as the puny little LED light it came with couldn't light up the whole tank. It does receive light when the overhead lights in our basement come on, because it’s in the family area the overhead lights are one quite often. We are...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    What is a cycled tank exactly? So to answer your question, no. And @ seedjar, your probably right, but it was the only example i could think of off the top of my head.

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=8923 and another quote I found from another website for which I would like confirmation or any advice. "Double Tail bettas will have swimbladder problem if you over feed them. They will start floating and may take up to several weeks to recover! So with...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    I've read they eat mosquito larva. And i think logic behind it is that a betta sees little swimming things and has the instinct to eat it. I doubt betta's in the wild would find a large amount of food in a small area trapped like they do in a tank. They also have a very small stomach. Besides...

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    Ok, I could also use the daphnia to feed my bladderworts too. I've heard that if you feed a betta too much live food, it would eat itself to death?

    I got a new betta! Any advice?

    To answer Exo, I do i have filter running in the tank. Its a whisper small gallon filter. I also have a small tank heater running in the back. You can kinda see it in the photo. So live foods are best? what type do you recommend?

    Method for providing VFT Dormancy

    Thats not a bad idea. Last winter it got pretty cold, so I just threw my plants into my unheated garage. They did quite fine and I didn't really see any negative effects. Previous to January and its snow storms, I just left them outsidec sheltered from the worst of the wind.
