I am thinking of buying a fish. I like the look of
Bettas, but our
house is
only about 60 degrees at night, closer to 68 during the day. Of course, in
the summer it will be warmer. It doesn't sound like Bettas will
tolerate
that change in temperature. Will any fish? I don't have much room,
so I
need something that can tolerate a small environment. Thanks for your
help.

Reply. Here are two recommendations.
(1) Get a large fish bowl with at least one gallon of water. I now keep four large mature White Clouds in a 1.5-gallon (6-quart) fish bowl, and they do very well. Click here
for more information about that Fish Bowl.
The water in my Fish Bowl got as gold as 55 degrees F. last winter, and the White Clouds did very well. Another group of four White Clouds was in my pond, and when the temperature of the water went down to 50 degrees, those
White Clouds stopped eating. So I moved them back inside my house, they recovered completely in a few days, and began to eat again. Click here to read more about those White
Clouds.
By the way I would not keep any goldfish in a fish bowl with less than, say, ten gallons of water, and fish bowls that big are very rare, but I have seen pictures of very large fish bowls in China. If anyone knows how to get
them, I'd like to know.
(2) My other recommendation is to buy a 6-gallon Galaxy Aquarium. This Galaxy Aquarium is quite compact and comes with a cover that has a built in BIO-Wheel filter, which is very important. Click here
for more about BIO-Wheels. Incidentally, there is also a 12-gallon Galaxy Aquarium,
which is probably larger than you want now.
You could keep a nice group of White Clouds in a 6-gallon Galaxy Aquarium, and if you get a small 25-watt Aquarium Heater, you could keep an assortment of fish including the White Clouds and a few other warm water fish that
are compatible with them. Click here to see a brief list of fish that are compatible with White Clouds.
White Clouds are very good fish to keep in Fish Bowls, Cold Water Aquariums, and Warm Water Aquariums. They are hardy and mild tempered. My White Clouds are now about 1 year old, and the males are very colorful. White Clouds
should be much more popular in aquariums, than they are now.
By the way I would also recommend you get some Java Ferns for your fish bowl or aquarium. The Java Ferns are beautiful and make the White Clouds much more comfortable. Click here
to see a list of available Aquatic Plants including Java Ferns. |

I'm sure you get this
all the time, but I
wanted to say thanks
for the great site!
We have just set up
our first aquarium,
a small 5 gallon, and
we couldn't have done
it without your expertise.
We went with the Galaxy
5 with biowheel from
Walmart, and a male
betta, 3 white clouds,
a fiddler crab, and
3 ghost shrimp.
Since we also have two
boys under 4, your site
was especially helpful
in deciding on this
combo, too.
Oh, and just a comment
on the White Clouds.
I was rather hesitant
about getting them,
as they seemed rather
mundane compared to
some of the colors on
the other school fish.
However, once in the
tank with the Betta,
the contrast of his
bright colors and their
sparkliness is perfect.
And up close they're
quite beautiful on their
own. Thanks specifically
for that recommendation.
Thanks again,
Jennifer |

White Clouds: We have
a pair of White Clouds
in a bowl with a Beta.
For the first few days,
the Beta did a lot of
chasing in and around
the plant. We thought
maybe we had gotten
some bad advice in putting
the two together.
But after about a week,
they were totally different.
The White Clouds come
around the Beta and
taunt him to chase them.
They are really funny
to watch. They are a
good match.

Hello Barry. Thank you for the information
about your White Clouds and your Betta Fish.
We have also noticed that Bettas and White Clouds
go through a period of adjusting to each other.
Sometimes Bettas
chase after White Clouds, but usually are not
able to catch them, and give up trying after
a few days. In other cases the White Clouds
nip at the Betta, but then usually stop doing
that after a few days.

I just discovered
your wonderful site
and was reading
about White Clouds
and how they were
taken from the
outdoor pond when
the water
temperature reached
50 degrees. I live
in Bakersfield,
and have a pond (10
feet long and
varying from 1ft to
3ft in depth) which
has had White Clouds
in it all year round
for many years.
They survived with
no apparent losses
the cold weather we
had this last winter
(20F air temp) I
never took the
temperature of the
water, but for three
mornings during the
cold spell there was
an eighth of an inch
of ice on the pond.
Not only are they
hardy here, they
spawn as well. They
have never over
populated the pond
like mosquito fish
(which I don't have)
can.

Hello Stephen. Thank you for your
comments about keeping While Clouds in an
outdoor fish pond. We like them very much as
a pond fish and recommend them.

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
