Full grown electric blue jack Dempsey fish updates. These fish have a reputation of dying and being sick. Jack Dempseys usually are a tough fish. These are my new favorite canister filters. They will take over sun sun filters because they’re cheap and BETTER.
Had some followers send me some videos of their adult electric blue jack Dempsey’s.
More replies: Okay i need advice. I have never owner a betta before But When i was at The store today i fell in love with Two of Them haha. I already have a 14 gallon tank with a couple of neon tetras. (Not planning on having neons anymore Its just The ones there is left). Do neons and bettas get along? They seemed peaceful... if i do decide to get one (in another tank if They Dont get along) then i also need Help to Pick. These are not pics of The actual ones But They are quite similar (one is more blue than Purple tho). Which one do you like? Are crowntails more difficult Or What are your advice? [ Ссылка ]
I think if u put neon tetras and a betta together there will be some nipping occasionally so just monitor how they’re doing first. I personally love halfmoons so I would go for the halfmoon haha
Pick your fish based on it's behavior. Does it react to you? Seem like a grump? Lol, they're all beautiful... But get one that you'll enjoy interacting with. They really do have awesome little personalities.
Electric blue jack Dempsey. Aesthetically, I am biased towards the crowntail lol. I believe betta and neons have been successfully housed together. If you are going to attempt a community, pick the one that flares less or seems less aggressive. That crown tail is essentially in perfect form! As long as it ferociously flares when placed next to another betta, it is healthy and worthy of consideration.
As for housing bettas with other fish, unless your tank already have a lot of live plants (not just hides/decors), you’re better off giving the betta its own tank. This is especially true when being new to another type of fish.
Well, that may work but you should have a separate tank just in case you have to do a quick removal. It’s not just the getting along aspect but the stress/disease potential and different diet that you want to map out. Oh the intrigue & fun! you'll be fine with the betta and neon tetras the betta are slower so even if they do try and nip they'll have a hard time getting to them and will eventually just give up that's how it went in my tank.
Do not put bettas with other fish. They are teritorial and will be stressed all the time. I recommend having a sorority in the 14 g. 6 female betta fish with lots of plants will do. They are just a ball of moss that can help filter the water a bit and add a bit of green life to the tank. Only maintenance they require is that you squeeze dirty water out of them- I just do mine when I do my water changes. I've personally never had any issues with them adding algae seeing as algae is mainly grown by light.
Moss balls are actually algae not moss. They are a nice addition to most tanks. However they have occasionally been known to break apart and you can get an algae bloom. Betta tend to like them though. If your moss balls are breaking apart, there might be an issue in your water but you can re-roll them back to shape, give them a little squeeze to discharge any old water and help with new growth.
They’re a neat decoration - I honestly think they do help with the overall health of the tank too, though. I’ve been a bit surprised that my little tank at work has stayed in such good shape, and I attribute it to the moss ball and pothos. Moss balls generally have a very slow growth rate and if you get one too big they're super easy to propagate into multiple balls. That's what I did when mine arrived and was too big for my 5 gallon tank. I just split it, rolled it into two balls and then used string to tie around it and keep it balled up. A couple of weeks later I removed the string and they held their shape.
Moss balls or marimos are a type of green algae that is found in high current, dark waters which gives them their rounded shape. They are easy to maintain and live for a very long time making it a popular addition to aquariums or as home decor. They are mostly bought for aesthetic purposes but do have some benefits. For instance, they provide a great place for foragers such as shrimp to search for food. They feed on nitrates. However, this is miniscule and you probably will not see any difference in nitrate levels. Since they are a type of green algae, they feed on the same nutrients as other algae and helps to prevent them.
