do freshwater shrimp need to have constant bubbles to add oxygen in their water?

Posted on October 18, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

i have a betta fish and i was thinking about getting him a shrimp as a tankmate, but i’m at college and during breaks i’m taking him home to stay in a little bowl until I come back and put him in his tank. So would my shrimp be able to stay the bowl or would I have to leave him at college? I wouldn’t be able to feed him then, but there are plants and roots for him to nibble on.
Is it doable? Should I forget the whole thing? Any suggestions?
oh my tank my betta is in already has an air pump in it. it all came together in a betta kit. it’s not good for the betta?

Mysterious Betta Fish Deaths?

Posted on January 15, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

Two of my 8 bettas died mysteriously … I need some help.
(1) They died very quickly. One day, they were eating like pigs, then the next, they would not eat anything and stay at the bottom. And on the following day, they died.
(2) All of my other bettas are happy and fine, and I treat them all the same way. They have their individual 2- or 3-gallon filtered tanks that are cycled (ammonia/nitrite reading 0 daily for several weeks now). I do a 50% water change every week. I use filtered water (with Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Filter) with the recommended amount of Electro Right and Ph Adjuster (for ph of 7.0). I have the thermostat set at 80F. I feed them primarily Hikari Bio Gold Betta pellets, with freeze dried brine shrimp and bloodworm thrown in once or twice a week for variety. So I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Initially, I was feeding 5 pellets once a day. Now I do only 3, just because I can’t think of anything else I could be doing wrong.
What’s going on?

i won a betta fish at the carnival and i was researching the fish and the care of them, right now he is in a plastic fish bowl, and tomorrow i was going to petsmart to get a new tank and plants and food, i was on the petsmart website and saw that brine shrimp is like 15 dollars!! I am NOT spending that much money on fish food, my freshwater fish have been fine eating fish flakes there entire life, including the guppies that i bought prego and now they are all breeding with each other which im working on seperating them, but anyway cant betta fish eat fish flakes?
I need a really good reason to buy the 15 dollar fish food for them
