They can be a bit touchy, sometimes they are very easy to keep and other times not. You're best bet is to put them in a well filtered tank without any other fish but with lots of plants, at least until you are sure they have adjusted. Then you could try moving them into a community environment.

I'm wondering if this is normal for a 6 week old betta? Thanks by the way they seem quite easy to breed, just a small tank, breeding trap and the fish, that's all it takes, but its natural dam water so it has micro organisms.

That seems about right at 3.5mm. You can see a pictorial view of the Siamese Fighting fish growth rate at this site Betta Growth in Pictures.

Hi can anyone tell me why my shark cat fish are losing the black off them and are just silver now, bit worried as 1 died few days ago from white spot which I've treated and the 2 are clear of it. Wondering if it could have anything to do with the treatment I put in the water. They are also not eating like they usually do lots of?

They are easy to breed with the right setup, and it can be fun. Here's a quick over of Goldfish Breeding.

VERY GOOD FISH, GOOD FOR BEGGINERS AND FOR EXPERTS. People say you shouldnt keep them with angel fish but you could. Just buy the neons in an aquarium and wait until thay get around 1 inch or bigger. Then go to the store and buy baby angel fish and put them together. Then the angels mouths would be small and they could not eat the neons, and when they get big they would have already gotten used to the neons. HAPPY FISH KEEPING!

please can someone help me please! i dont want it happening again!

That's a sad story. African Bloat, also called 'Malawi Bloat' is believed to be a protozoal parasite that is common in African Cichlids. If the fish becomes stressed (shipping, handling, poor water conditions, etc.) there becomes an imbalance which allows the parasites to multiply and start punching holes is the intestine which causes the bloat. It can happen quickly and is fatal if not caught and treated right away. There's more information about this illness, as well as treatment, on the Fish Diseases page here: Fish Diseases: Bloat

Okay, so this does not have anything to do with an electric eel but whatever, I got a true Freshwater Snowflake Eel yesterday and it is living with two Blue Gill currently and will be moved with the Glue Gill to a 150 gallon freshwater tank containing 3 or more Senegal Bichirs, 4 Firemouth Cichlids and a Red Belly Pacu along with a common Pleco, good idea or no?
