Haha. I could symphony out the poo twice a day and it wouldnt touch it haha. Luckily m filter seems to keep on top of things and its all balanced out. But then i do have over 100 so 2 should be to much of a problem lol. Malaysian Trumpet Snails are great for keeping the sand moving and stopping poo from building up.

A little video of 1 of my BN's

I tried my BN's with cucumber, a grape and a bit of strawberry over the past week and they liked the strawberry but i found that my female bettas liked the grape loads and polished it off! Dont know if the BN's got any, lol!

Stunning. How big are they now?

by **Nataliey** on Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:45 pm

Id say about 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches, one of them looks a lot bigger. Iv started to notice not that they both have whiskers at the side of their mouth, they are filling out too. I cant believe iv never been interested in these types of fish before Rolling Eyes

i love them,lol!

by **kizno1** on Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:50 pm

Thats normally the way one will be dominant and will get pick of the food so will be bigger than the other but i wouldnt worry. Males and females get the wiskers at both sides of there mouths. At about 2" some male will get bristles but by 3" a male should definitely have them. I found that with mine they got to about 2" bulked out alot then shot to about 3" and are now starting to really bulk out and get bristles. They are great fish but then i would say that because i think all cats are great.
