  • Can I keep my betta in a bowl???

    Ha got ya, who ever clicked on that question and wanted to answer yes, YOU ARE WRONG

    Bettas are NOT happy and healthy in a bowl or in a 1 gallon tank

    It's your responsibility to your fish to get at LEAST a 2.5 gallon tank with heater and filter for your betta

    There is no truth behind that, that a betta is happy in little bowl?!?!?!

    Would you like to be confined to a space of 2X2???

    Don't think so

    Betta's can live up to 7 years with proper care

    So what would you reather have, a happy and healthy betta or one that has a short expected life because of your iresponsibility?????

    Here is also some more info about them

  • how to treat corals before putting them into the tank?

    Hi guys

    I bought corals today and forgot to ask what to do before putting them into my tank

    I know for a fact that I can put them into my tropical tank, as well that I have to watch my ph levels more closely now because they cause them to go up

    I just want to know if I'm suppose to wash them with cold or warm water before I put them into my tank, or if I even have to leave them in a waterbath over night (no soap will ever be used)

    Every answer is greatly apprecciated

    Thanks

  • Question about incubating sparrow eggs?

    Do I leave the heatlamp on 24 hours a day, or do I turn it off

    2 AnswersBirds1 decade ago
  • Have 5 eggs of an house sparrow, they were abandoned after construction start?

    My husband found 5 house sparrow eggs and brought them home. I put them into a shoebox with a towel and have a heatinglamp shining on them. At the right temperature though, I did some research.

    How do I know if they are fertile?

    I read something about candling them, but don't know how to do that.

    Please help me out with that!
