I just transfered my betta of 6 months to a smaller tank. He was previuosly in a 5.5 gallon tank with 4 platies, but he wasn't doing so well. The platies were nipping at his fins and generally terrorizing my poor betta. His long beautiful fins are all short now...i heard that fish fins grow back in time and i didn;t want him catching any disease so i bought him his own smaller tank to share with a new betta (my newest addition). The tank is about 1.5 gallons and i have divided it in half with a divider to keep the bettas apart. It is equipped with an undergravel filter and a light and i have put plants in as well to make him feel more at home. However, about once a day he tries to jump out of the tank through a tiny little hole at the fron of the tank. I am not worrying about him getting out (the hole is far to small for that) but i am worried that he is not happy in his new home. Should i move him back to his tank and let him get nipped at once and a while? What can i do!
