In this thread I would like to have everybody's oppinion on the tanks that we keep our Bettas in.
I start with a question: I would like to put oxygene in every tank, and some active charcoal in every tank, do you think it's a problem? Does it help, or not?

[CataOlo]

Pai ... de unde oxigen?
Daca vrei sa bagi aer (bule de aer), eu zic ca este ok, mai ales daca bulele vin dintr-un burete bolborositor sau dintr-un filtru intern (asta inseamna ca ai bacterii "buna").
In legatura cu carbunele activ ... din cate stiu eu, acesta se foloseste la acvarii sterile, sau pentru a "scoate" medicamentele din apa. Pentru acvarii plantate e contraindicat carbunele activ pe perioade lungi de timp.

Well ... where are you getting the Oxygene from?
If you want to have air (as in air-bubbles), I think it's ok, and even more ok if the bubbles come from a sponge-filter or from an internal filter (that means that you have "good" bacteria).
About the active charcoal ... from what I know, it's used in steryle tanks, or to "take out" medicine fom water. For planted tanks it's counter-indicated for long periods of time.

[crb]

vreau sa-mi cumpar plante dar nu prea stiu ce ,plantate sau nu!  I wanna buy plants but i don't no what ,planted or no ! Scuze me for my english i'm stupid

[Yonnutz]

Eu am in acvariile de betta cam de toata....
Dar totusi evit sa pun multe plante de suprafata......
Am si o "tufa" de flame moss....unul dintre betta o iubeste....sta doar pe ea, ca pe o plapuma de puff

In rest, majoritatea sunt plantate in substrat...
____________
Me in my Betta tanks I have lots of plants ...
But I don't net a lot of floating plants ....
I have some flame moss ... one of my bettas lobe it ... he sits on it, as if he was sitting on a soft blanket

But the majority of mu plants are root-plants

[CataOlo]

Plante ... pentru a te putea ajuta, trebuie sa ne spui ce dimensiuni au acvariile, ce lumina, ce parametri are apa...

Si plantele sunt ca si pestii: sunt pesti carora le place apa mai dura, altii o prefera mai acida ... sunt plante carora le place lunima mai puternica, sunt plante care vor neaparat aditie de CO2 ...
_________
The plants ... in order to be able to help you, we need to know the dimensions of the tanks, the light, the parameters of the water ...

The plants are like fish: some fish love hard water, others like it more acid ... there are plants that like stronger light, there are plants that can't do without CO2 addition ...

____________

I start with a question: I would like to put oxygene in every tank,

  For what ???

[Yonnutz]

Ai dreptate Cata. eu am omis aceste lucruri....poate din motiv ca eu le aleg mai mult pe ghicite  ;D
Adica in sensul ca nu am cum sa masor parametrii apei....
Dar, in materie de plante pana acum e ok.....cam toate plantele care le am in acvarii o duc foarte bine.

You are right Cata. i forgot about this things...probably because i chose the plants for my tanks by guessing.
I can't messure the water parameters....
But, untill now, all my plants are doing fine in all off my tanks.

cam 5-6 Ph  ,lumina 1 neon lung si acvarile de 3 litri pentru ca ii tin cate unu
___________
Ph about 5-6, light - one long neon tube and the 3 liter tanks because I heep only one of them in each

[livulik]

daca nu ma inseala pe mine memoria, un pH de 5 este de 100 de ori mai acid ca un pH de 6! asa ca ar fi bine sa nu varieze chiar asa!
___________
If my memory does not gail me, a Ph of 5 is 100 times more acydic than a Ph of 6! So it would be good if it titn't vary that much!

[robertino]

Nu cred ca are 5-6 Ph-ul...din cate stiu, intre 7-8 are apa in Bucuresti.
___________
I don't think he has PH of 5-6 ... from what I know, the water has a Ph of 7-8 in Bucuresti.

[crb]

nu stiu exact pentru ca nu am ph metru ,trebuie sa il imprumut de la varu ,pentru cine il cunoaste este hobbydiscus el stie cu chimia apei eu sunt "new entry" dar cred ca in bucuresti ph-ul e cam la fel
_____________
I don't know exactly because I have no Ph-meter, I have to borrow it from my cousin. You might know him - he's "hobydyscus"; he knows water chemistry, I'm just "new entry", but I suppose in Bucuresti the Ph is quite the same

[snakefishmike]

Lasa-l pe varu' si ph-metrul lui , ca nu o sa ti-l dea in veci  ;D
Exista si teste de ph , nu doar ph-metre  ;)
________
Forget your cousin and his Ph-meter, he's not gonna give it to you, ever
There are Ph tests, not just Ph-meters ;)
