Deitta
Aquarium Advice Activist
Ok, I want to get this one right this time. He is really pretty and has come to me healthy rather than Wal-Mart-y. I am hoping to have him for a couple of years!
1) I purchased some betta water conditioner tabs, they looked interesting. They say to do a complete water change once a week by pulling the betta out, completely changing the water and dropping in one of these fizzy tabs. Then once the fizzing action is done to transfer the fish back without any of the old water. And not to drop the tab in while the fish is in the water. ---- Is this much of a water change recomended? I store water at room temp so the temp won't be an issue.
2) I have some pretty glass marbles for a bottom cover, but does he really need to have a plant? I really woundn't want a plant in there since it would ruin the astetics... but if I had to.. sigh.
3) What other betta-specific things do I need to know? I am using the betta floating pellets 3 per day... ok twice a day... I am a sucker!
He has medium light and is swimming around being active but not manic.
