Are betas good at finding food? Several months back I weakened and got one for a 5 gal. Been years since I had one. Was a 'betta in a cup' rescue this time.
This one seems to swim exactly where the food isn't. I've tried lights off and on, same with filters. The Molly and rosy barb fry are running rings around this fish.
The same betta promptly killed several small Molly fry when first placed in tank so I assume his eyesight is good.
So kind of at a loss. I'm over feeding the fry so this betta gets something. He's on the thin side but otherwise looks healthy.
