I was wondering if swapping the fish now and again to alternating sides would be a good idea or a bad idea? Would the different environments be something they would enjoy exploring or not?]]> Housing & Decorations Sat, 29 May 2010 18:22:09 GMT http://www.bettaparadiseforum.com/housing-decorations-f3/swapping-sides-of-tank-t3275.htm#46680 http://www.bettaparadiseforum.com/housing-decorations-f3/swapping-sides-of-tank-t3275.htm http://www.bettaparadiseforum.com/housing-decorations-f3/refreshed-tank-for-wcmms-after-betta-death-d-t3254.htm Skunk As many of you may know, my betta died a week ago last sunday. So, I moved my WCMMs (had to move them from my axie tank after my new axie thought they were a snack >>) into a plastic tank, with the filter to keep them going, boiled my tank, tested it for leaks (never did that the first time, !) and washed the new substrate, which is large gravel. I also bought some new plants, including moss balls and vallis, and set up my refurbished tank. Also got some bogwood in there. I ...

Is there any tank dividers out there that don't require me gluing them to the tank etc.? The only reason I don't want to glue anything is because if it doesn't work out then I'd like to revert back easily.

I want to divide it into 2, but it has a 3D backgrund already siliconed inside it. I'm reluctant to remove it in case it damages the tabk, but how can I divide it with it in place? I am planning to use home-made dividers made out of slide binders and plastic canvas.

Thanks!

Do you think the meth blu will have been enough and done a successful job of killing off Velvet by now? I doubled the dose (the tank looks black, haha) and kept it dark but switched the heater off. Obviously the tank will need rinsing thoroughly, but is there anything else I need to do? I'm not confident about bleaching tbh, but what about salt? Or will it be ok as is?
