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?

My Grandmother refuses to pay my tuition, why?

Posted on December 12, 2010 by admin| 22 Comments

Well my Grandmother had offered to pay for the rest of my college tuition. In celebration of the fact that I got a good report card last semester, she wanted to tell me she was paying the rest of my tuition by taking me out to dinner. She let me get anything I wanted- so I ordered a shrimp appetizer, and a T-Bone steak (large cut of course), and a soup and salad combo- u know salads are good for ya. I also was allowed dessert. I wanted a banana split. Anyways here’s the part that makes me mad. Before digging in, my Grandma wanted to know if she could have some. I told her “No” in a polite manner, and started digging in. My Grandma told me she loved banana splits, and if I could just let her taste some. I finally got irratated and told her to order her own damn banana split, that I was hungry and for her to leave me the hell alone. After I was done eating it, my Grandmother told me she refused to pay my tuition because I was a brat that needed to learn manners. Was she right to do this?

What are some good, interesting freshwater fish for a 10g tank?

Posted on August 24, 2010 by admin| 6 Comments

I’m a beginner, so I have little to no experience. I’m going to college soon, and the only pet we’re allowed is fish in a tank no bigger than 10g. Since I’ve grown up always caring for animals, it would be weird not to have that responsibility.

I was thinking about a dwarf puffer, but the only other fish they are compatible with would be an oto or ghost shrimp, and I’m not sure a 10g tank would provide enough algae for an oto or two. I’ve heard that you can have one dwarf puffer per 5g, but I wouldn’t want to risk that, so I’d only go with one. The problem is they’re so small, I feel like I would loose it in 10g.

I was also considering getting a few albino cories, but I couldn’t find much information on how many I could keep in just 10g, since they like to school. Not to mention they are bottom dwellers, I’d like to have a few middle-top fish.

I’m looking for fish that are fun to watch, require some care but are still hardy. I was also thinking I wanted real plants. Any suggestions on that as far as care, type, how it affects fish, etc are very appreciated.

Thanks!
