Who Gives A Fish Forums

Someone should start a thread on fish names. I'm a fan of movie monsters. Winter Soldier, no disrespect was meant, I feel you on the loss of a pet fish, it's tough.

Those names are awesome, total Marvel fanboy vibes. If you want your next betta to be basically immortal, name him Red Skull or Herr Schmidt – nobody stays dead in the Marvel universe, right? And I just had another idea, a Glass Catfish named Vision would be pretty cool.

Hold up, I had to come back ...

Thanks for the tips. I've got a mix of Tetras and Corys, and the substrate is sand. Didn't think about the carbon filter, gonna swap that out tonight.


Nice, Corys are tough but Tetras can be sketchy post-treatment. Keep an eye on their gills, sometimes they get irritated. You using any stress ...

Glad your tank's on the mend! I'd say keep up with small water changes, like 10% every few days, to help clear any leftover meds. What kind of fish you got in there? Some are more sensitive than others after treatment.

Squiggy is one dashing betta - that face of his is almost invisible against the dark background in the photo. I mean, $3.99 at Petsmart? What a steal. And I'm glad I gave in to that blue color, his name just seems to fit him perfectly.


Thanks, I'm quite fond of that black face too. It's got a ...

I picked up one of those Zoo Med Betta hammocks ages ago, but none of my other guys ever gave it a second glance. Squiggy, on the other hand, has claimed it as his own and seems to really enjoy it. Every night when the lights go out, I catch him lounging up there.

Isn't he though? I just couldn't leave him sitting there, that blue was too perfect. It'll be fun to see if he keeps that same color as he gets bigger, I'm curious to see how he'll change.


That blue color of his is something else, almost like metal. Never seen it before. Been toying with the ...

Update on Squiggy - he's made it through the first week, still kicking and doing great. Always a bit on edge till they pass that initial hurdle, you know. New fish can get a bit shocky from the move, and if they're weak to begin with, it can be too much for 'em.

That little guy is a real showstopper, I just love the blue on him. I swear, he's so charming, I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a whole crew of friends coming over for a housewarming bash - maybe even Laverne and Shirley made the guest list, haha.


For some reason, it seems like Squiggy and ...

I just couldn't resist this little guy. He was stuck at Petsmart for a steal at $3.99 - what a deal. I mean, who wouldn't grab it? He's now the king of his 20-gallon castle and loving every minute of it. This tiny fella's probably only a few months old, but that gorgeous blue color sealed the deal ...
