1) Crown Tail Betta. I'll post pictures of his body. Color changed on his body.
Spends a lot of time just sitting on his plastic plants or on bottom. He didn't
use to...
2) Tank Parameters; PH is lighter then 7.6 but not as light as 7.2...
Ammonia over 0 ppm not .25 ppm
Nitrite is 0 ppm
Nitrate is between 5.0 ppm & 10.0 ppm
3) A 3 1/2 Gallon Top Fin tank but because of the round cylinder filter in the center the actual volume of water is 2 3/4 gallon. It was set-up 8 weeks as of yesterday...
4) Type of filter; I'll post pic's of filter. The filters are made for Petsmart by Marineland (ie Perfecto). This is what I got by Googling but can't find it...
5) One Crown Tail Betta. He looks large to me. At least 2 1/2 inches long... He's huge compared to what I see at fish stores...
6) I changed 1 gallon of water day before last. A couple of days before that I changed out 3 quarts... I haven't had any luck vacuuming tank. Can't get anything out of the large gravel. Next tank which I'll get soon will have sand...
7) Had him 8 weeks & 2 days. Didn't acclimate at all. Didn't know anything about it. He came right out of one of those really small containers that the pet stores keep them in to a 2 3/4 gallon tank. Oh I put in Nuetral Regulator 7.0 at first but have since switched to Prime...
8)Nothing new added...
9)From the start I've fed him Tetra Pro Betta Crisps. He loves them! He eats as much as a small horse! For variety I got him Betta Small Pellets, he swallowed one, spit it out & now won't even touch them. i got him dried blood worms, he ate them a few times but now won't touch them. I got him some kind of frozen worms & he wouldn't touch them. A couple of times I've given him live worms (not sure what they really are). He loves them! But I was told not to feed him these to often...
