Hi Steven.


Hi. :-)

Pay no attention to *A. Pail. Ing*...he's a moron and you can
obviously see why to ignore him.


Yeah, I've been lurking the past couple of days and have taken the
trouble to killfile him. Unfortunately, I seem to have a score in
my killfile to kill posts from all AOLers too. If I hadn't thought
to tell my newsreader to specifically look for children to this
post, I'd have never seen your post, or .

I'll have to make a slight modification to my AOL score. :-)

I would go ahead and try it out. but do watch for the White clouds to
be nippy. If they are, remove the Betta.


K, I'll keep an eye on the little nippers.

I'm curious as to what temp this tank is. You have warm water and cool
water fish together, so you should have it at a happy medium for
both. *76f is the lowest I'd ever keep a Betta at, and I wouldn't
recommend keeping one under it.


It's ~22 C (~72 F) on cool/cold days. This being summer, in a south
facing apartment, even in Canada it's often 27 C (80 F) or better.
I keep the water level lower so the output from the filter can
splash onto the surface, and we have fan that runs when the room is
in use.

Just remember to have a back up plan ready in case it doesn't work
out.

Thanks, for the advice. I have a couple of little Betta bowls that
I could use for a standby, for now. Currently, the Betta is
occupying one of the bowls as part of his quarantine. :-)
