yay sorry you cant see them properly because i took the pictures on my phone i will take some with the camera in a bit! anyway if you can just work it out they are my new white cloud minnows.



the pictures dont do them justice they have a beutiful red tips on there fins and they look great! the two brave ones are swimming around and exploring. but the 2 scaredy ones have gone off and hidden in the plants! well i hope so anyway...lol
oh yeh its not cloudy water just bad pictures just incase u were wondering!sorry didnt know where to put this as they arent goldies..? anyway my other posts about them have been here so thats were ill put it! lol sorry but i am new! iain

yay ive seen 3 swimming around happily now! heres some more pictures along with my tank.







the camera lead isnt working for the computer so you will have to wait for some good quality pis as i said these are only off me camera phone! iain

How big did you say that bowl was?

30 litres why? there best not be something wrong

6.6 imperial gallons.
are you sure?

yeh im sure its 8 us gallons 30 litres. does it look to small ???

well pictures can be misconceiving
30litres is 7.93 US gals, so just under 8g

yeh i know i cant wait to get some good pictures! sorry but on the box it says 8 so i went with that! i didnt use a converter thing as i didnt think i needed to. is that still ok for 4 white clouds which are just under an inch each ?

yes Iain, that'll be fine you can also still get your betta in there too
white clowds will grow to about 1.5" long, and prefer slightly cooler temps that tropicals, so is ideal for a betta too

yes! thats is ecactly what i wanted to hear! im so glad som many people on here were willing to help! oh yeh one question about my minnows are there any easy ways to tell apart males and females i was just wondering! dont worry if you dont know as i could probably find it on one of many sites i added to my faveourites about minnnows! iain

males are thinner and more brightly coloured and their red is much more intense the female on the other hand has a rounder stomach. Males will display against other males and to females by erecting their fins and wiggling

thanks! i cant wait to see them showing off ! i think i have atleast one male.

Congrats on your !! Such a cute little setup you have going on there! I think you have done a really good job.

thank you i them to bits! really? thanks there are some slightly better pictures in the goldfish tank section under ''sound ok so far'' thnx! iain

When you get your betta, he will love all the plants! They like to lurk and hide.

i thought he might! i heard they like to hide in between them and stuff so i got some big ones to put at the back! the minnows like to go there aswell so i might need some more at the side so they can share nicely! lol

im sure your betta will love that

good good im thinkin (already) of getting a red one to go with some of the plants anybodys preferances on colours or what they think would go well with my tank? check out sig too see a pic of it. iain

I don't believe that we own animals, I think they own us. I usually go to the LFS and peep at the little glasses. When I see one that 'speaks' to me, I take him home. I know that he/she ist he one that wanted me. You will know when you find the betta for you.

lol dat was umm moving in a way! i think your right though ill probably just 'click' with one and then know i want it! theres so much more to fish keeping than a a goldie in a bowl!!!

Too right! And the sooner more people realise that, the better off the hobby will be. I wish we could get that printed off and posted in every fish store and pet shop in the world.

that will be the day! untill then we must do what we can to help! like getting big tanks and more fish 'hint hint' mum lol

Congratulations Iain, I think your Minnow BiOrbe looks great! Well done! I want to get some WMC Minnows one day too, I think they are really cute

Best of luck finding your Betta!

thanks! its saving someone else buying one and putting 5 goldies in it they are sooo cute! they are real interesting to watch as they go anywhere and are always playing!
