Why We Think Bettas Are Better
At Nature Box Emporium, we care for and love our bettas. Aside from the fact that they're beautiful fish, bettas are exotic creatures with big personalities that anyone is bound to love. In the wild, bettas have been found in slow-moving streams, marshes, and ponds in Asia.
Bettas are diurnal creatures, meaning they become active during the day and go to sleep at night and they also have the ability to recognize their guardians. They can get excited when they see you and curiously approach anything you put in their tanks, and they are also fun to train to do tricks!
These fishes require great care because they are highly sensitive creatures. They are carnivorous animals that love insect larvae and insects. Feeding them plant roots only isn't sufficient as the roots lack the ideal nutrients needed by these species.
Bettas are great pets to have, and while some males tend to fight amongst themselves for territories, some can live peacefully with other fish species if placed in a tank with docile fish like the kuhli loaches or cory catfish. Female bettas can live in a peaceful group if there are enough hiding areas and ample space. They can all cohabitate with nonfish animals, such as ghost shrimps, snails, and frogs, too.
The Invertebrate Snailor
Nature Box Emporium takes care of and sells a wide range of invertebrates, such as shrimps and snails. We have different species of these invertebrates, including chopstick snail, cherry red shrimp, pagoda snail, jade green shrimp, spike snail, and snowball shrimp.
Snails are a great addition when you are re-cycling your fish tank. They are dirty in nature and they produce a lot of waste, which makes them a perfect fit for recycling tanks. They will provide your tank with excess waste, ensuring that there are enough bacteria to keep the colony alive and thriving, at least at the beginning stages.
Snails are important to the survival of shrimp. Shrimp cannot survive without them during a recycling phase. Therefore, getting snails into a shrimp ecosystem will save you a lot of trouble and the chances of your shrimp dying after recycling will be lower.
Here at Nature Box Emporium, we offer a wide variety of invertebrates, including snails and shrimps. Contact us today to ask any questions on how to order or take care of your shrimps and snails. Our professional aquarists are always here to answer your questions.
We Are Gill-ty of Having Excellent Pond Fishes
Nature Box Emporium offers a variety of pond fish, such as koi fish, blue oranda goldfish, mosquito fish, and shubunkin goldfish. If you're thinking of adding to your pond or your school of fish, we have the right selection for you!
Koi Fish: Koi fish are great pond fish. They are a relative of the common carp and are perfect for outdoor living. These fish species are hardy and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. The biggest issue you'll face with koi fish is that they can grow quite big, so you need to make sure your pond has enough room for your koi fish to grow and thrive
Goldfish: There are many different species of goldfish. Nature Box Emporium offers a wide variety of goldfish, including the blue oranda and shubunkin goldfish. Both species have excellent swimming abilities and can grow very large in size. A typical goldfish can grow up to the size of a small dog if kept in an indoor pond and even bigger in an outdoor pond, so you must be prepared to have a large tank in your home if you choose to house goldfish.
Nature Box Emporium carries many species of pond fish, and if you're looking to buy pond fish like koi, blue oranda, or shubunkin goldfish online or in our pet store in Colorado, give us a call today!
No Catfishing; Buy The Best Tropical Fish Here
Some of the world's prettiest and best tropical fish have been kept as pets throughout history. There are many different fish in the tropical category, including catfish, clouded archerfish, butterfly koi fish, diamond tetra, bushy nose pleco, black ruby barb, and more.
Taking care of tropical fish is relatively easy. You need to ensure to test their water temperature, ammonia levels, dissolved oxygen content, water salinity, and nitrate levels regularly. Conducting regular tests will help you know the ideal property to adjust.
You should also make sure not to adjust their water temperature on a whim. You can utilize an aquarium temperature sensor and heater to help you keep the water at the right temperature. Simply visit our aquatic supplies section to place your order!
When caring for tropicals, you want to avoid overfeeding your fish. The food you provide should be eaten within two minutes and they should be fed when needed, depending on the species and food requirements. Leftover food can be harmful to the habitat and the fish themselves, due to ammonia and other chemicals produced by the decaying food.
If you're looking into breeding tropical fish, need tips on how to better care for your fish, or any other tropical fish-related advice, contact our professionals at Nature Box Emporium! We'll provide you with excellent tropical fish, supplies, and quality advice on care and maintenance.
