Anyways, I have food pellets and freeze dried bloodwarms for his diet. Since I just got him today, I only fed him about 3 pellets. He didn’t seem interested in them, just let them sink. I don’t know if he ate them yet.

The tank I’m using is a 2 gallon, hexagon with a LED light and a very quiet filter that doesn’t bother him. I didn’t use gravel for his tank, but these marble-rock like things. Kind of like in mosaic tiles. I also have a bridge I bought at the same time and my mom insisted on adding this fish standee and floating bobber that held a fish as well. I used natural spring water from the store to fill the tank. He has plenty of space to swim around in.

Ever since I put him into his new tank from that small, plastic cup, he’s been sticking to the side of the tank. I’m not quite sure but I’m assuming he’s seeing his reflection and trying to attack it. He also gapes his mouth open ever now and then then closes it. About 20 minutes ago, when I walked up to the tank to check up on him, he started wildly swimming around for a moment then went back to the side. Was he excited to see me?

I would really like to know if he feels comfortable and what I could do to make him happier. Any advice at all would be appreciated, I read up on bettas last night so I’d like to learn things from other people too. Thank you~

The responders so far don’t seem to be any better informed than you are, so I will make some suggestions.
First: do NOT use bottled water of any type. It lacks essential minerals. Use room-temperature tap water treated with a conditioner/de-chlorinator. AquaSafe and Start Right are two good brands.
A proper home for a Betta is at least a 5 gallon tank with hood, heater, and gentle filter. Anything less is cruelty to these beautiful fish. Bettas must have heaters, they are tropical fish.
I recommend going to a book store and/or library and getting some beginner’s books on aquarium keeping, and also on Bettas. There is a lot more to learn than what can be absorbed in one night.
It is normal for a Betta to not eat for a day or two after being put in a new tank. He needs to get settled in. He will not eat food after it has sank. Net it out if he doesn’t eat it, to keep from fouling the water.
Do further research and get him a proper home if you’d like to see him live the full 5+ healthy, happy years he is capable of.

The address for an adjustable shower curtain rod. Not the only brand, there are many more.

If you’re skeptical, test one small area first. If you scrub with a wet Brillo or S.O.S., the pad will not scratch the glass. Then move on and clean the rest of the tile.

I do not recommend using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. These do scratch glass. Chemicals could harm the glass as well. Stick with a wet Brillo or S.O.S. Then wipe with wet cloths or wet microfiber when finished.

Good luck.

Way back during the eighth century, Europe was still knee-deep in the Medieval period. That’s not the only thing they were knee-deep in. In his book, “The Day The Universe Changed,” the historian James Burke describes how the typical European townspeople lived:

“The inhabitants threw all their refuse into the drains in the center of the narrow streets. The stench must have been overwhelming, though it appears to have gone virtually unnoticed. Mixed with excrement and urine would be the soiled reeds and straw used to cover the dirt floors. (p. 32)

This squalid society was organized under a feudal system and had little that would resemble a commercial economy. Along with other restrictions, the Catholic Church forbade the lending of money – which didn’t help get things booming much. “Anti-Semitism, previously rare, began to increase. Money lending, which was forbidden by the Church, was permitted under Jewish law.” (Burke, 1985, p. 32) Jews worked to develop a currency although they were heavily persecuted for it. Medieval Europe was a miserable lot, which ran high in illiteracy, superstition, barbarism and filth.

During this same time, Muslims entered Europe from the South. Abd al-Rahman I, a survivor of a family of caliphs of the Muslim empire, reached Spain in the mid-700’s. He became the first Caliph of Al-Andalus, the Muslim part of Spain, which occupied most of the Iberian Peninsula. He also set up the Umayyad Dynasty that ruled Al-Andalus for over three-hundred years. (Grolier, History of Spain). Al Andalus means, “the land of the vandals,” from which comes the modern name Andalusia.

At first, the land resembled the rest of Europe in all its squalor. But within two-hundred years the Muslims had turned Al-Andalus into a bastion of culture, commerce and beauty.

“Irrigation systems imported from Syria and Muslimia turned the dry plains… into an agricultural cornucopia. Olives and wheat had always grown there. The Muslims added pomegranates, oranges, lemons, aubergines, artichokes, cumin, coriander, bananas, almonds, pams, henna, woad, madder, saffron, sugar-cane, cotton, rice, figs, grapes, peaches, apricots and rice.” (Burke, 1985, p. 37)

By the beginning of the ninth century, Muslim Spain was the gem of Europe with its capital city, Cordova. With the establishment of Abd al-Rahman III – “the great caliphate of Cordova” – came the golden age of Al-Andalus. Cordova, in southern Spain, was the intellectual center of Europe.

At a time when London was a tiny mud-hut village that “could not boast of a single streetlamp” (Digest, 1973, p. 622), in Cordova…

“…there were half a million inhabitants, living in 113,000 houses. There were 700 mosques and 300 public baths spread throughout the city and its twenty-one suburbs. The streets were paved and lit.” (Burke, 1985, p. 38)

“The houses had marble balconies for summer and hot-air ducts under the mosaic floors for the winter. They were adorned with gardens with artificial fountains and orchards”. (Digest, 1973, p. 622) “Paper, a material still unknown to the west, was everywhere. There were bookshops and more than seventy libraries.” (Burke, 1985, p. 38).

In his book titled, “Spain In The Modern World,” James Cleuge explains the significance of Cordova in Medieval Europe:

“For there was nothing like it, at that epoch, in the rest of Europe. The best minds in that continent looked to Spain for everything which most clearly differentiates a human being from a tiger.” (Cleugh, 1953, p. 70)

During the end of the first millennium, Cordova was the intellectual well from which European humanity came to drink. Students from France and England traveled there to sit at the feet of Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars, to learn philosophy, science and medicine (Digest, 1973, p. 622). In the great library of Cordova alone, there were some 600,000 manuscripts (Burke, 1978, p. 122).

Actually they were and still are the main reason for the dark ages and at those times they were also responsible for the Bubonic plague.

1) What is the size of the tiles, is it 15cm x 15cm?
2) What is the complete dimension of a wall, you just give us only a length. What is the height?

Okey, assuming that you both ask for the number of tiles for wall tiles and skirting tiles. Please see the calculation below :

For the No. of Wall Tiles, here is the formula :
No. of tiles = Area of the Wall / Area of 1 piece of tile

For the No. of Skirting Tiles :
No. of tiles = 6m / 0.15m
No. of tiles = 40 pieces (answer)
