My new betta

[Mumma.of.two]

My new vail tail betta. I bought him yesterday and he seems to be settling into his new tank nicely. He's blue, purple, red and white. I'm hoping he will play nice with my shrimp.










The photos don't do him any justice!

I think he's very pretty, and lucky to have such a good looking tank too!
And most of all: to have a good owner!

Thank you very much!

What do you feed him if I may ask?

Pro's choice premium color enhancing formula floating pellets. I inherited them along with my sisters Betta. So I just feed mine the same thing. Oh and frozen brine shrimp and odd the very odd occasion a pea or blood worms.

Do you expect issues with your shrimp? I am thinking about adding a betta to my tank however I have a few RCS in there with 30 more arriving tomorrow in the mail. They shrimp are priority over the betta at this point so if it might not work I'm not going to take the chance.

He doesn't actively hunt them but if they get in the way he will chase them. And I did see him eating one but I think it may have been dead beforehand. I think it all depends on the personality of the betta too.

he could have been eating the molt also.

how big is you tank Nubster and Mumma.of.two ?

Very nice fish! He has great color!

Nope. Definitely a dead one. He is in a 8g. I originally thought it was 6.6g but I did my math wrong.

Thank you. I wasn't looking for a betta at the time. Had other plans for the tank but when I saw him, I thought he was just beautiful, so I bought him.

He looks like he is enjoying the space!

I got my betta today. He is in a 75g tank. He doesn't know what the heck to do...he's all over the place checking stuff out. I feel so good that he is out of the cup, off the store shelf, and hopefully has a chance at a decent life.

DO NOT feed peas. It seriously messes up their intestines, seeing as how they are carnivorous. Like i did it cause I thought they loved them and it got sick and got swim bladder issues and I looked up on it and it's only for serious cases of constipation, ad that's still risky :/
