Betta Excitement!

Well I think I got a couple of good videos, pics I don't think have turned out well but vids should hopefully be uploaded later.

He's settling in fantastically and his character is showing more each day

Good to hear what kind of personality does he have?  Feisty, friendly, lazy?
 
How's his colour looking?  I have to say Rhaegar was quite dark for a day or so after I brought him home, then brightened up again.  So I don't think it's just females...in my limited experience, anyway!

I agree. Ember has changed colors a lot, he never had blue in him and now he is shimmering!

Sorry folks, having trouble uploading to YouTube have no idea why, not at home at the mo either, but Luther is fantastic!

The fish store had him with a black type of minnow, so I know they don't need company but I added some black neons from another store that looked similar to these mountain minnows (these neons also had a betta in with them in other lfs) added them to tank then following day acclimatised Luther ......anyhow, so here's an example of his character:

Here I was merrily doing the washing up in the kitchen, Luther watching me intently, I knew the lights were due to turn on soon, I looked in the tank to see Luther watching a neon in the dark of the tank, lights come on and I swear I could of heard him say "boo" to unsuspecting neon. Neon swims away and Luther turns his attention back to me. It was very funny, although I haven't portrayed a funny pic in text.

Let me just add that they have all been getting on no problem, he really isn't bothered by them and swims around like a king whereas they equally mind their own.
At feed time I feed Luther one end with his pellets and the tetras the other with flakes, very sparingly so he doesn't get any more food.
