Re: New Betta
At least you gave it a proper home to live in. I cringe at the cups and bowls they are usually doomed to live in.

Re: New Betta
A little 10 gallon all to himself The tank is still a work in progress though. His fins are so heavy he can't handle current, plus he is not a strong swimmer after living in cups. So, most of the decor blocks the flow, plus the filter is on low with a baffle on it. Hopefully he will get a bit stronger in a few months after swimming around for awhile.sgtmyers88 wrote:At least you gave it a proper home to live in.

Re: New Betta
They gain strength surprisingly fast. Their big fins slow them a little but they can be surprisingly strong swimmers.

Mine is in a ten gallon with no tankmates, but I have not thought of a name for him.
I think he will be fine. He is an active swimmer, just needs some time to gain muscle.bertie 83 wrote:They gain strength surprisingly fast. Their big fins slow them a little but they can be surprisingly strong swimmers.

Re: New Betta
I had a blue one like the one posted above living with guppies, mollies, and neon tetras in a 20g long. Even with the strong current that the filter put out the Betta handled himself quite well.

Re: New Betta
Ok, the good people at the betta forum have informed me that he is a double tail halfmoon, not a regular half moon. I did not know that existed. I have heard of a double tail and a halfmoon...but not the two together. I haven't seen the split in the tail, but I can see the shape.
His color is also described as a cellophane marble.
Who knew!

I found it when I was looking for instructions on making a baffle for the filter.
