Pictures of the Betta’s new colors
I took a few pictures of my Betta sporting his new color so take a look, his fins are looking very good, and healthy.
My Betta (a a few other things)
My betta colors seam to change again since I put him in the new 10 gallon tank, his fins have started to turn from red to a bright blue. Also all the plants I have put in the tank with him are doing fine, One of the Plants, in my other 20 gallon tank, leafs[…]
Baby fish
Well today when I got home and looked at my Betta, I saw other animals in the tank I did not expect, and I am not talking about more snails, I saw what looked like fry. I know for sure that they could not have come from the Betta, since I don’t own any female[…]
The Betta in the new tank (comming along nicely)
My Betta (Strustrup) seams to be adapting to his new home now; he is starting to swim around the whole tank now. He seams to be still exploring his new home. The fish in the other tank is starting to get use to the new setup of the plants since I did a major redecoration[…]
Moved the Betta
Well I got home from work and worked on moving my Betta from the 2.5 gallon tank to the 10 Gallon tank, he is not really happy with me right now. While I was at it, I did a lot of aquatic gardening, I took a lot of plants out of the 20 gallon tank[…]
New Tank for my Betta
I saw a nice 10 Gallon tank today in a store for about $10. and I thought my Betta (named Stroustrup) could like a new bigger home, right now he is in a 2.5 Gallon tank. I have gotten it home now, and filled it with rocks and water, tomorrow after I get home from[…]
Peta against eating fish??
I think that peta has lost it, they claim fish are smarter the dogs. Well I might give them that when I look into the eyes of my Bettas they do seam to have some intelligence to them. But that is just antidotal evidence and no way to form a campaign. Even if fish are[…]
A forest in a tank
My aquarium is starting to get over grown with the plants that I have put in there. I am very pleased with how it is going. I wanted plenty of places for the fish to hid, and the free O2 that the plants would make for the tank. Some of the plants that I put[…]
Feeding my fish
Last night while I was feeding my fish in my 20 Gal tank I decided to see what would happen if I just held the food in the tank. Well most of the fish were (naturally) still afraid of me so they did not come for the food, but 3 of my fish swam right[…]
Betta
I could not resist it. Today I picked up a Betta, and a 2 gallon tank for it. He is a beautiful fish. You can see pictures of him here. I am sure that once he start to settle into his new home. I know that there is a myth out there that Bettas can[…]
The Oakland Neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
It is a nice place to live, don’t really need a car to live here, but it does lack in one thing inside the area, it needs a good pet store. You do need a car if you want to go to a pet store, the closes pet store Oakland (that I know of) is[…]
Live food for my fish
Today I finally got some live blood worms for my fish, they seemed a bit cautious about them, but they did eat with vigor when they did eat them. I think part of the problem with them being so cautious about eating them was that I have the feeding ring close to the front of[…]
Took some more pictures of my fish
I took some more pictures of my fish in my tank tonight. I picked up some new lights just for the task; I got some “work bench” lights. They are just some small lights that have a mettle cone around the bulb to direct the light to the area you want it at. I also[…]
The Fish cam
I like the idea of the Fish cam I been playing around with, but the problem I see with it is, is it worth the bandwidth. Or should I just set it up so that when I want to see it, it will just send the picture to me, and not constantly update a server.[…]
Experimenting with a “fish cam web cam”
Right now I am toying with the idea of putting on my site a fish cam (web cam pointed into my fish tank). I am testing it right now, I want to see if it is posable, and how much bandwidth it will need to do this. Click the read more link to see the[…]
