Yes you are right. I will get something bigger soon as I can. I have one plant in there now that has a bit of a root. Do you know any good betta websites? What type of water do they thrive in (Ph, temp)? And what else can I feed them besides the pellets???? :roll:

:P Hi I have 2 bettas in my kitchen. A red one I call Raspberry, and an indigo blue one I call Blueberry. Have had them both over a year. They do great. I add nothing to the water. I have well water. Have live plants in the bowls with them. They are in separate bowls on my kitchen bar...

You all have given me great advice so far and I am absorbing it all in. I will look for a book today. I am still trying to decide on the type of fish I want. Are there any cichlids that don't grow so big. I would like maybe 2 or 3 of those. They are pretty to me. All I have now is the one...
