BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Fish PLEASE help two new bettas!!!

Thanks!

He's still good. [yay] When i change his tank (in two days) i plan on adding another plant to the tank (a silk one instead of the plastic one that's currently in the tank.) he seems to like the plant more than the little pot i have. I heard people put tubes in their tanks and the fishys swim through them or was it around them? He also loves to swim around the filter tube so i was just wondering if i'd add more tubes instead of other decore. i'm just now seeing what he likes over other things so slowly i'll make changes.

But one of the concerns was his food. right now he's just eating his staple diet food. I heard that they needed meat or they'd slowly starve to death. i hear they really like shrimp and worms as treats about two times a week I was contemplating shrimp (i know it was a certain kind but can't remember the names right now)over worms.

i couldn't decide on a name i ended on Shayrea (prnounced SHAY-REE)luv the little guy :-D.

Thanks again!!! ^_^
What kind of betta do you havE? what's his/her name??

Aww, cute name! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't know what kind actully... just the I guess "usual" type petstores keep in stock.

When I got him my beta had a white/pick body, red violet cheeks, and just where his fins connect with his body he has an array of blue, pruple, redviolet and indego and it streaks down into the rest of his fins that go back to silvery/white. Since I've had him for the past 3 weeks he's getting more bold colors, so his body from being pinky before is now slowly shading into a red-violet and his tail fin is getting more indego at the end of his fin.

his name is Eclipse asfter his light center, dark outline and then lighter fins on the outside.

With the food, I don't know if that's true or not. I had my other beta for 4 years on only 2 kinds of dry food. Whenever I've heard people react to his age they all seemed to think he had a long and healthy life. (His name was Silly Pants)
