Hi all, been away for a while, nice to be back into my fish.
My neighbor brought in elephant ear betta's and gave me one for mothers day, along with a crown tail, very pretty both of them.
Now, my question is, he gave them to me in jars with I think it was melafix in case of parasites. I don't think they're in for long, maybe 4 or 5 days. They look very healthy and the colors are good. How long can you leave them in those jars? Can I change the water with fresh from the tap and use prime? Or put the water in a bucket and prime it and then use. I would like to put one in my 10g and one in the 40g, or is that too big. If that's the case I'll get each a 5g tank or divide my 10g once I find homes for some Blue finned Kribs.
I would post a picture but the new iMac is driving me crazy, can't find my pix when I want to post something, I should have stayed with windows!
