Fish Fanatic
Hey everyone, I'm called Adam (or ads, either one)!
I'm not new to fish ownership, however I am new to Betta ownership.
Me and my other half keep 2 female Betta Splendens (Fiona and Fantasia), 1 Male (fred) and a Plec (George), the tank we have is 48ltr and heated to 82F!
The male was introduced last week and is being kept a very close eye one, although the introduction went FANTASTIC and so far he doesn't seem to be bothering the females any more than he would any other compatible tank mate!
We are feeding the Bettas on a diet of blood worms (defrosted before feeding) and flakes towards the afternoon and evening (3 feeds), the plec has a plec feed tablet twice a day (although I'm not convinced that the Bettas don't enjoy them more than he does).
Me and my other half love animals, having a fair few (1 Minature poodle, 1 Yorkshire terrier, 1 anatheristic corn snake, 1 rabbit and one mouse).
We have a baby boy on the way, due in April, so it's all go at the moment!
One things that bugs me is people that take on pets without doing any research into their needs and how to look after them, too many people will just buy a tropical fish and pop it into a cold water tank then treat it like a goldfish (then wonder why it does after a day or two), i'm no animal rights activist but I do believe in being fair!
Anyway, I hope to meet others here with an interest in keeping bettas and other fish!
