    just 2 questions

    i thought chlorine was bad for fish?

    and whats the purpose of pumping air into the water?

    thanks!

  • randomrazr said:

    oh and how much was that tank from wal mart?

  • gobackto82 said:

    i think he means dechlorinater.

  • Snotlingfondler said:

    Hes looks a real buriser haha. just a few things to add is these fish live in very oxygen starved ponds and pools in their natural habitat and to combat this they have evolved lungs to breathe air from the surface. because of this they need access to air from the waters surface to breathe even if your water is perfect. One more thing, they dont like strong water current as the long finned variety arent strong swimmers. they are great fish.

    i used to breed these when i was a kid.
    betta splendens.
    keep them warm, and keep the air on the surface roughly the same temp as the water. (ie lid). they get ‘colds’ in the canadian winters
    nice little set up jon

    I have had my beta for 2.5 years now in a smallish square tank with some rocks at the bottem… No chlorine, no light, no oxygen…
    4 pellets ever 1-2 days…
    I am pretty bad at cleaning the tank on a regular occasion also…

    Fredericton still looks awesome and healthy :)

  • MRxLAGGER said:
