A miracle! Two posts in a day! Wowzas.

I recently went to Petsmart looking for a betta and managed to snag an older version of Aqueon's Eclipse4! Its a nice tank, but the flow from the pump/filter is way too strong and has proven very, very frustrating to fix. Its currently being inhabited by my boyfriend's plakat to see how a fish reacts to the different methods of baffling the filter. Oliver seems okay with the current setup! 

Once it's back at my house, I'm going to plant it and maybe even keep it in the living room! Oooh!

These past few weeks have been hectic! Unfortunately, with a boom in BSp's popularity, the site's contact info and facebook page has received hundreds of messages in only a few days regarding questions about specific fishy cases. Normally, I would go through the messages and reply, but about 90% concerned things easily answered through reading our guides, which was frustrating and got repetitive. I have decided to stop answering questions for this reason. (Sorry!!) Forums that are trustworthy (non-betta, too!!) can give tailored information about the specific questions one may have.

Once you've found a forum that looks good, has lots of members, and knows what's up, post! Remember to give ALL the information you possibly can. Pictures are usually a must.

Add:
Tank size, water change frequency, number of animals in the tank/ their species, how long you've had the betta, how often/much the fish is fed, (if you have it) water parameters like pH hardness ammonia nitrate and nitrite levels, any decor that is not 100% made for fish, if the tank has a filter, if it has a heater (it should!), what temperature, special notes/symptoms, etc.

I (and BSp) don't affiliate with any fish-specific forum, but will likely make a guide on how to best use a forum and how to get the answers you need fast and effectively very soon :) !

If you've received a reply from BSp already, I will continue to reply to your questions until everything's all set, don't worry. We'll continue what we started!
