Bettas are also tropical, so they require a heater. And they're very sensitive to filters with any kind of water flow, and require sponge filters instead therefore

Yes. 10% water change a week, and checking water parameters frequently

@Versa, even a betta aquarium?

I had a betta as a starter fish. With any fish, it's important to remember aquariums are a heck ton of work

Plants don’t add bacteria but they do consume some of the toxins

@Em, that's a good idea. Do the plants add bacteria too?

Beneficial bacteria can be hit or miss I’ve heard but I personally have had good results with it. If you can steal some established filter media from someone that boosts it too

If you add beneficial bacteria which you can get at pet stores it can make it faster :)

With cycling though you have to take into account a brand new fresh tank can run forever but unless something is put into the system, it will never be cycled because the beneficial bacteria doesn't have anything to feed on

Yeah I did have issues with nitrite for months myself thinking back

@Zz, just a month is nothing. I can do that. My research says 10-12 weeks which is like 3 months!

Well if you are wanting just one, a betta is the way to go. They are super friendly and personable and very easy to care for

I second the research. Specifically research the nitrogen cycle. Running it for A week isn’t enough usually. Mine took a month

I think I am just scared of having multiple fish vs just one.

Straws? June 21, 2017 03:39 PM

So I know what straws are, but why would you use them? The only use I could see for them would be to have after the stallion can't breed or is gelded, but otherwise why not just do live covers? Unless there is a limit to the amount of live covers a stallion can do per year/season or doing live covers affect their showing performance or something?

There is a limit to how many LC's a stallion can give. (20 is the limit)
If you didn't get a LC, but you wanted to breed to the stallion, straws come in handy.

That's one reason, others include more money, determining who/what gets to breed him, no more LC's. Some stallions are never up for LCs as well, so those are only straw use. The only downfall is that they are sometimes hoarded (Not used) and the owner of the stallion doesn't get the full amount of straws at retirement.
