Well then, Koi-Lo shouldn't be housing 3


Koi-Lo didn't house 3 or more bettas to a 10g tank.

(or more, as you shouldn't
ever just have 2 females per tank) females and one male in that small
of a tank anyway.


Who said my 30 gallon long tanks only hold 10 gallons of water? That makes
no sense.

Thank Nik, you're a peach.
P.S....you also know what you're doing. = )


30 gallon tanks hold 30 GALLONS, not 10 gallons of water. ;-)

Ah..there's that twisting, and adding of words that were never said you
are well known for.
Here's my post....copied and pasted. I never once said a 30g tanks hold
3g's water, you nit. LOL
You said 30L which stands for 30 liter. If you were talking about a 30g
as in 30 gallons then you would have made yourself clear.
Everyone here uses G for gallons and L for liters.
If, when referring to a "long" tank, ther proper way to type that to
avoid confusion would be 30gL...meaning 30 gallon long. This has been
the common way of doing this since I was a little girl. Now don't
start with the it has to be my way or it's wrong crap.
Go whine some place else. This is just how it is. Same with the proper
care of Bettas. It has nothing to do with MY way. It's just the proper
way...I learned it just as anyone else can...unless they have a problem
doing this properly.

Now....Do I need to copy and paste your post where you typed 30L?
Maybe that means 30gL in your head, but anyone else would assume you
meant a 30 Liter...which would be 7.? something gallons.

=======================
Ah..there's that twisting, and adding of words that were never said you
are well known for.

* Well know for by who? You? All I can go by is what you post. Where did
I ever claim I kept male and female bettas together in small tanks?

THIS is what you posted:
"Well then, Koi-Lo shouldn't be housing 3 (or more, as you shouldn't
ever just have 2 females per tank) females and one male in *that small
of a tank anyway."*

Memory lapse there Tynk, or a troll-trick just to disagree with anything and
everything I post?

Here's my post....copied and pasted. I never once said a 30g tanks hold

3g's water, you nit. LOL

LOL, LOL.... here it is again.
"Well then, Koi-Lo shouldn't be housing 3 (or more, as you shouldn't
ever just have 2 females per tank) females and one male in *that small
of a tank anyway."*

You said 30L which stands for 30 liter.


No Tynk, where I come from a 30L is a 30Long which I often write out. Know
what you're talking about before insulting someone.

If you were talking about a 30g

as in 30 gallons then you would have made yourself clear.

I have made myself clear many times on this NG by writing out 30Long.

Everyone here uses G for gallons and L for liters.


And everyone I know uses 30L to mean a 30 gallon LONG tank. I've used 30L
here many times as well and wrote out 30Long.

If, when referring to a "long" tank, ther proper way to type that to

avoid confusion would be 30gL...meaning 30 gallon long. This has been
the common way of doing this since I was a little girl. Now don't
start with the it has to be my way or it's wrong crap.

Now don't you start to tell me what everyone does here, did here, will do
here, should do here and on and on and on just like a troll does...........
use your killfile.

Go whine some place else.


LOL,... you need to whine somewhere else. The group was peaceful until YOU
came back and are now trying to dominate the group and what people post
here. You're the one constantly whining and sobbing and crying about
everything I post in the mistaken belief that if you troll me long enough
you'll chase me away. Why not post on the moderated group where no one will
disagree with you?

This is just how it is. Same with the proper

care of Bettas. It has nothing to do with MY way. It's just the proper
way...

According to *YOU* and yet they live a long time other ways as well, which
you can't accept for some reason. It's either your way or you troll and
insult the person. You think your insulting disagreeable and obnoxious
aggressiveness will force people to agree with you.

I learned it just as anyone else can...unless they have a problem

doing this properly.

You have the problem accepting that there are other ways to keep bettas than
*YOUR* way.

Default Betta question

I remember coming home 45 minutes late one day, and my wife (then)
chewed my butt a good one. We had an appointment at the bank with a
loan officer. There were no cell phones then. I was stuck in traffic
that had backed up from a chemical tanker that had jack-knifed on the
highway. I didn't have an SUV to blunder around the fields around the
accident like you'd see on the commercials. It was a Chevy Caprice
Wagon. Yep, that was me, picking up the ladies in my station wagon.

Yep. Scored hundreds of dates in that old rust bucket, rattle-trap of a
car.

They definitely have their own personalities. :-)


Which is a big part of if a male/female can be put together. Most times
people say you can only put a male by him self, and some males that is
true, but not most of them, mind seem to do better in a community.
Tynk I think has hers in a 75g, Ed I think had his in a 55g, I have a pair
in a 30 long, with out no problem.




These are BIGGER tanks and if planted and the bettas are not very
aggressive, it should be ok. I just don't think people should be
encouraged
to even try it if they have a tank smaller than a 30L.


See above....you said 30L..meaning liters.

I copied and pasted what you said, so that you can't argue about it:
===============
This has already been covered including your immature nasty trollish insults
in the messages above. And because of your memory problems allow me to
repeat that I have always advocated keeping bettas ALONE. That's because in
MY EXPERIENCE they didn't do well with other fish for a variety of reasons
that have already been covered in the past. The females got along ok as I
already posted several times. The males *IN MY EXPERIENCE* were the problem
and that's why I keep them separate and in their own jars or bowls. Now if
you don't want me to post *MY EXPERIENCES* with bettas here you are out of
luck since this is an open forum for everyone. You may be happier to stay
in a moderated forum where you can tell the moderator who can and can't post
if their experience isn't like yours - you can't do that here.
