Q: KD Wrote,
Can you put a male and female betta together? What are the precaustions we should know.
Is nipping at each other common?
Q: LR Wrote:Hi Christie, I really need you help. My betta is severely constipated
and I have tried to do everything possible, I tried to give him the Daphnia
and he won't eat anything but pellets. He was eating bloodworms when this
happened. I have soaked him in Epson salt bath, but that doesn't seem to
help. What else can I do, since he won't anything other than pellets?
Please Help!!!!
A: Constipation can usually cure itself by fasting your betta for a couple of days. If you find that
after 2 days he still hasn't pooped you can try to feed him a small amount of cooked pea.
(just the inside not the shell).
To avoid constipation in the future be sure not to overfeed your betta and soak your pellets
in a cup of tank water for about 10 minutes before feeding to allow them to soak up water
before entering the digestive track.
I have reposted the new Nippyfish.net
There are still some issues to work out. I have noticed that Explorer makes it look a little funny but all in all, I'm pleased. I could not have anticipated it's success. It's had over 30,000 hits since its original launching in January 2005. I think the new layout will make it easier to expand. There is still so much to talk about.
I obviously didn't keep up with the Blog like I wanted too but I hope to start that up again. Maybe I'll just use it as my ranting place. The site is a family show so I keep that pretty clean though some of my frustrations come out in my articles.
I still get several emails a week with betta questions. I'd like to post those here so come back to read a little Q&A. I will try and get a couple posted this weekend.
I'm also a moderator over at www.bettasplendens.info. Come by and sign up for our news group if you have any questions that need to be answered right away.
Best,
Christie
