Beta fish added to my tank.?
We just started a new tank last Sunday and have a Gorami (sp?) and two other little tiny fish along with a sucker fish. A friend of mine came over with a Christmas present for my daughter... a beta fish and added to the tank. She said she inquired at the pet shop as to whether the fish would get along with my other fish and they said fine. She said as long as there were no other beta fish in the tank it would be fine. So far I think they are doing okay, has anyone had any problems with them?
Also, when do I change the water? We have a well and the ph levels etc are fantastic so I am told by the pet store. We have a biofilter motor... I understand there is good bacteria on the filter thingy that spins around, but do you clean that ? I guess I am just clueless here.
Thanks for any help!
yeah i've seen problems with them. the gourami was the agressor and began chasing and nipping at the betta. gouramis are one of the very many types of fish that MAY get along with a male betta. it depends on the individual fish. they'll probably be just fine but there's a chance one might be too agressive or they'll just hate each other. partly because they are very closely related species. hopefully yours will do fine since you haven't seen any problems yet. just don't overcrowd the tank as you aquire fish. stress conditions can cause agression.
even if you have good water conditions, around 25% water changes once a week (-ish) is a good idea to remove waste products (which can throw your water conditions off). i do approx 25-33% every week or every other week. gravel vacs are good for removing solid waste from the tank floor.
biofilters are typically a very open spongy material for the good bacteria to grow on. just as you never want to change water conditions (temp, salt, pH, etc) too rapidly, you never want to clean out all the good bacteria - they're helping keep your conditions stable. it you feel the need to clean it (i do on rare occasion if my tank is having a significant algae flourish), just rinse it briefly and gently. there are biological filtration boosters (like Stress Zyme) if you think you've removed too much of the biofilter bacteria for them to recover quickly. i never add nearly as much as the bottle says though, because they grow fast and will cloud the tank.
