Just another update. He’s had a little bit of food - so all fingers crossed that he was just being dramatic or protesting my taste in music or something.

Don’t want to get too ahead of myself and all posh. I reckon Fluffy can have fun pushing it about a bit until he gets it where he wants it. Unless it floats somewhere annoying. Then I’ll have to get creative and tie it down

Awesome. I’m usually a pretty good plant killer to be honest. Am definitely not green fingered so I just picked a plant that was in the top 10 for betta and that said to just plonk it in the tank and it’d be fine ;)

He thanks you all for the compliments - and yep. He certainly is stunning. So far today he’s spent a little bit more time pottering about. He’s mainly on the surface still - but not pushing himself into the corner so looks more relaxed. As for the plastic plant advice - you read my mind as there...

Yep. He was in an absolutely tiny divided tank where I got him from. I knew they had to surface often for air but didn’t think they’d just stay there. But you’re right. Maybe he’s not used to having a lot of room and feels comfortable in a corner for now. I’ll be happy if he starts eating a bit...

hi. Thanks for the answers. I hope the photos have attached. I’ve only had him about 4 days? He seemed happier in the first 48 hours than the last 48 though. He’s not gasping for air - and is blowing the odd bubble - which apparently is good? He looks fine - fin wise. But in the first couple...

Hi. I have a new male betta fish. I swear I’ve done everything possible. He is the only fish, in a suitable size tank. He has a million hiding places, he has live plants. I am on constant temperature watch and he is between 25.5 and 26.5 c. There is a filter - and I have it on low flow to keep...

Thanks. I’ll have to have a good think!! I’m not adverse to shrimps.

I did what you guys said. I put more ornaments etc in for them and the guppies got a bit grouchy and biting each other. So after another rearrangement they’ve stopped chasing each other and all seem happy. They have places to hide and potter around in now - and still room to swim freely. Happy...

Sorry. I meant what you said. My autocorrect is an idiot & I trust it far too much :/

Scary isn’t it!!

Hi everyone. Thanks for your advice. The tank is a nano tank - and is approx 3.5 gallons. I only use it as a “quarantine” tank for newer fish for my neighbour (she has a proper aquarium but her fish include some ridiculously expensive ones and she doesn’t put ones from a shop straight in) - but...

Hi. As you can see in both - you can’t really see the fish - just reflections of the room (excuse the mess) it’s so bad it took the cat 3 days to notice that the fish had moved in.

Hiya. I’m Esther and new to the forums. I have a fish tank - but the inbuilt light in it doesn’t work. When I’m looking into the fish tank from anywhere in the room all I can see is my own, and furniture around me’s reflections - more than the fish. I’ve tried covering the back but it’s not...
