Betta Flaring At Background?

Posted on January 22, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I just got my betta the other day, he is in a 10 gallon heated and filter tank with only an African Dwarf Frog and a snail. Thing is she keeps flaring and trying to fight by background. I have never seen this before could it be because the background has a lot of the same color as her (black and red)? Do I need to remove the background…I know it healthy for her to flare to a point but I also don’t want to stress her.

Also my African Dwarf Frog will not eat and none of my food sinks (and I have limited options on food because all I have where I live is walmart) would it be okay if I got sea monkeys and feed him them as long as I rinsed them in fresh water first, since all they are is brine shrimp. I could use a turkey baster to do it I just need food that sinks.

Dwarf puffers 2011

Posted on June 21, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

My four Dwarf Puffers. The dwarf pufferfish, also known as the Malabar pufferfish, pea pufferfish or pygmy pufferfish, Carinotetraodon travancoricus is a small, freshwater pufferfish endemic to the River Pamba in Kerala, Southwest India. Maximum size is one inch, making it one of the smallest pufferfish in the world. Although closely related to marine pufferfish, they are not found in brackish or salt water, and reports to the contrary are based on misidentification. Dwarf pufferfish have become quite popular as aquarium fish thanks to their attractive colours, small size, and relative ease of maintenance. Like all pufferfish, they can be aggressive, especially towards creatures smaller than themselves, and it is commonly recommended to keep them in a dedicated “species only” tank. A female to male ratio of 2 to 1 is sometimes recommended to reduce aggression in captive fish. Despite what the fish stores may indicate, flake fish food is not a recommended diet for Dwarf Puffers, and many fish will refuse to take this food. If you are persistent, you may be able to feed them dried worms, and they will eat live (and frozen) bloodworms with relish. Puffers are notoriously messy eaters, it is therefore important not to overfeed, and to employ a good filtration system. They may also eat small shrimp, or can be kept with them, some individuals may or may not eat shrimp kept in the same tank. Red ramshorn snails, Live & froen bloodworms, brine shrimp, triops.
