This is just a thought. I'm considering getting a beta fish, For those of you that are thinking,"you're a fish murderer! How could you NOT get a heater and filter??"

Understand that I'm on a very very very VERY...low budget. Like, 50 dollars kind of low.

I'm planning on buying the fish, the bloodworms and fish flakes, a small fish bowl, some rocks and decorations to start me off with. I'm planning on cleaning the tank every 2 weeks so he doesn't really need a filter. However, I was told that the fish needs room tempurature water. When will I know the right tempurature for my fish? After cleaning the bowl, wouldn't I have to wait an hour for the water to get to room temp. before putting the beta back in?
Maybe when I'm more experienced with fish owning and such, will I have the budget to go and buy a bigger tank with a filter/heater. I've seen how petsmart and walmart keep their fih in those tiny cups of...... toilet water? I don't even know.

You can even help me pick a name too. I like the names cosmo, gizmo, moonpie and marley. Which name do you like best? Give another one if you don't like mine. :)

I poured a bag of frozen peas into my fish tank and my fish got all better again. The problem is, they won't seem to eat fish food anymore, they only want to eat peas!!! What do I do?

5 Gallon Tank:
- 1 Betta
- 1 Apple Snail
I recently bought 2 bottles of Aqueon Betta Bowl Plus Water Conditioner & Dechlorinator for my 5 gallon tank. Does this work on all fish? or just specifically betta?

Im also planning on getting New fish for my betta. I was thinking Neon Tetras or platies. Any advice?

I am slowly setting up a 2.5 gallon tank which will eventually probably have a Betta in it. I know I want to plant something in it, but I'm not sure what right now. The tank is going to have a desert/Egyptian theme, so in my mind I'm imagining some kind of fern or a leafy plant like an Amazon sword. The plant should be low maintenance. I don't mind adding some special substrate under the gravel or something, but it shouldn't be a full-time job.

my little sister like to play with my fish and one day she put some apple juice when i noticed i cleaned the tank and the fish back. can they die because of the apple juice.

I dont want my fish to die! :(

My grand kids and I were walking the rails and saw some men salmon fishing.One had a plastic bag of fish eggs.He made no secret of it and answered the kids questions.He told them that when he catches the salmon if someone wants the "meat" of the fish he gives that to that person and he keeps the eggs.He said if no one ants the "meat" he releases the fish.I don't know if he told us the truth or not.The reason I am asking is that on our walk we saw quite a few fish carcasses that had been completely cleaned out and the head and the outer "skin" was thrown back in the creek.I'm from Ontario, Canada if that makes a difference.

If I leave the replacement water out for 24 hours before changing the water in the Betta's bowl, is it still necessary to add water conditioner (detoxifies chlorine, ammonia, etc)? I know that at least the replacement water will be room temp, but I'm wondering if letting the water sit for 24 hours will cause any chlorine to evaporate. Also, can you add water conditioner to the bowl when the Betta fish is in it?

How do you transfer a Betta fish from the bowl/tank to a temporary container while changing the water? I've read conflicting advice. Is it better to use a fish net to transfer the Betta to a temporary container or is it preferrable to scoop the Betta & some water out of its tank with a small container?

Thanks for any help.

So I have had this fish tank for about two years now and within the past month this white fungus-like stuff has started to grow at the bottom. I take really good care of the tank and have never had a problem. But I don't know how to fix this or even what it is to fix it? I have tried cleaning it all out and within a week its all overgrown again. This stuff only appears at the bottom of the tank, and seems to grow the most under the decor in dark areas, any please help?
