New Tank! And Slow Betta

[argoma]

 

 


At least it has a use

lol.
 
Thanks for during what you can and not being in denial about that they can live in a bowl

 
They keep them in bowls with tons of marbles and only less than an inch of water in height in my local pet store. Poor little things cant even open up their fins. They have beautiful crowntails but it's impossible to see how beautiful they are when they keep then in those dirty things. Nothing can live in that!
 

That is why I really have to stay out of pet shops.....I always have to look at the Bettas and end up with the saddest looking one, almost lifeless in his tiny cup! I have a few rescues that I really love and have wonderful personalities....I love seeing them perk up and come alive when I release them into a tank of their own.....
 


 
I know! My little betta looked so excited about his new home the day i got him. Everytime i go back there to get water conditioner i'm always tempted to get another because they look so sad in there ...

Well when you get your 10 gal tank you can put a divider (make one--cheap) and you can get another one!  They will each have a nice area.....

Or learn about sorority and maybe start one

Sororities are not a good idea for beginners, imo.

i agree but if you can get sisters it can go good.

Maybe if i learn about it? It's just an idea

Btw and updating on my little betta's condition, he seems to be happy now. He hides behind and inside the cave and then come out, pops out of nowhere, and swims just perfect. Even comes ti greet me as he always does. Excited about the new tank! I dont know if i should get dark red gravel as i thought i would cause he is dark red as well , maybe too much matchy matchy. Maybe white or something light if i can find. I will keep you posted and even post some pics tomorrow!

Glad to hear ur bettas better. White probably won't stay white! What about some black! Will look nice with green plants and think black and red looks real nice as a contrast!
