Hi Kinezo I just have a question for you Ive wanted to get a siamese fighting fish for some time now are they actually able to live in those little bowls they sell for them without a heater or is that cruel and they need more space and a heater thanks

ive got a couple of bettas. 2 in medium/large bowls with out heating and filtering, and 1 in my 6ft display which is set at 29 degrees 2000L of filteration ect. bettas are fine in cool water but not below about 19 degrees and they can survive without filtration fine as they are laybrinth fish. of course the colder it is the less active they are. i would recomend start with 1 in your discus display when it has fully cleared up.

Hi peoples!
Its funny as i seen every one has all these sorts of fish with thier discus, everytime i have added something with my discus it either dies or get eaten!

I guess i have the water parameters specific for discus.
