Aquarium Payara Fish – Vampire Tetra Care
Aquarium vampire tetra or also known as the Payara fish. These things grow into crazy predators.
Added commentary on random fish:
Quick true story to make ya laugh, or cry. I ordered a 90 gal from Amazon with the assurance (lol) that it would be delivered on Wednesday-my day off. I followed the tracking number and very pleased to see it had Arrived in Memphis. It never showed up. That evening I go back on line to discover it was now shipped to Chicago. WHAT. I get this wonderful email from Amazon apologizing that my shipment was being delayed due to bad weather in Chicago. Well no shit. Sooo now it due in on maybe Saturday. You have to laugh it’s not worth getting upset unless it’s broken when it finally shows up. Stay warm and keep smiling. Ever thought of a live cast on aquarium plants? That would be dope at my stage of development.
Hey guys. Have another question for you all. I have seen videos on YouTube where they have a big enough tank to have a male in with a sorority community tank. Do you agree with this? Is it really possible? Would 45 gallons be large enough for this, or does it need to be larger than 50?
I saw a video of a guy jumping off the rails of a cruise ship 15 stories in the air into the ocean. Can you do something you see in a video? absolutely. Does it mean it’s the smartest thing? No. Sororities are already difficult enough without trying to add a male.
Even though they are female, they will need plenty of space to swim around and avoid each other. Sororities need to be well established before a male Betta can and should be introduced. A 45 gallon tank (or larger!) would be the way to go, in my opinion. And even with a tank of that size, you may still need to use a divider to separate male from females. I’m still researching a bunch before I even try the sorority. I just want to ask questions and learn as much as possible. If when I do try to start a sorority, they would be going in my 45 gallon established tank.
Hi Chris, I’m sorry, my 10 year old son, Jonah, uses my facebook to contact you. Fish have taken over his life and he’s trying to research how/what to stock a new 65 gallon tank with that was his Christmas present. We are a ways away from being able to set it up due to reno’s, but he is loving all the planning! Thank you for being so patient with him, and I’ll ask him to try to do some research on his own before asking in the future.
When you eat, do you try to eat as much as your stomach can possibly handle? Nah, it’s good to not eat until your stomach is stuffed full. Historically, how long have your Bettas lived? It’s healthy for them to fast 1-2 days per week as well.
It’s not really a matter of if they couldn’t fit it in they wouldn’t eat it- bettas are notoriously piggy eaters and will often eat whatever is in front of them. Many fish are like this actually. It’s not a matter of disrespect or anything, but I think it’s an actual fact that their stomachs are only about as large as their eye.
“…Instead, it is common practice to feed according your betta’s stomach size. A general rule of thumb says, your betta’s stomach is about as big as one of his eyeballs and he should be fed that amount at a time. This equates to about 2 – 3 pellets or 3 to 4 bloodworms for a full-grown adult male betta.”
I’m not saying all have the same size or that all are EXACTLY the size of their eye. But generally, that much is recommended. 3 times a day and that many bloodworms daily would be really rich and may be too fatty. I’m not saying anything bad or negative about you specifically, just general fish feeding.
just to add, fasting for 1 or 2 days is actually healthy for many animals (including humans). it helps get the digestive track back in order and give the body time to naturally rid it of toxins and waste. Sometimes people are just idiots and need to open their minds. Bloodworms are some of the best food a betta can have. Such an outdated myth about the stomach being the same size as the eye.
