Say hello to the boys!

[CatScott]

Got my new boys in their tank on Friday. the Dumbo is Loki, the feather tail is Odin and the mustard gas half moon is Thor. Thor and Loki have settled in great, eating well, nice and active and like to come and say hello when I approach. Odin however I have concerns about, he has eaten pretty much nothing since arriving, and spends most of his time resting against the wall, when he does swim he swims at odd angles was hoping he just needed a bit longer to settle in but its def not looking good for him, any suggestions welcome.

Wow! They are stunning!

@Back in the fold, you have got to see these! How many gallons are they in?

(I especially like #1, he looks kinds like my betta!)

Cool! What substrate are you using? And what are the plants you have in there?

Very nice fish is the filter out take in Odins tank? could be a reason for his strange swimming as bettas do not like strong flow, you could try to switch him around first to see if he improves in another compartment or adjust the flow some what so it is not too strong if it is. He looks ok from the pics, he might be a bit constipated as his belly looks quite round even though he is not eating, some live daphnia if you can get hold of some may perk him up.

Yup I moved him into the middle compartment on day 2 in case this was the problem, but no improvement. I will try and pick up some live food to coax him.

Thor is gorgeous. Beautiful Betta’s. Hope that Odin starts eating soon.
