I'd double-check your magnesium levels. Low mag can make them sulk. Aim for 1350–1400 ppm. Also, how often are you feeding them?

Lovely betta, isn't he. No idea what type though. I've been wondering, is there an app for fish identification similar to Merlin for birds. You know, take a photo and it tells you what you're looking at. Would be super helpful for all us fish enthusiasts.

I've been adding Bacter AE to my tanks a couple of times a week - my shrimp-only tank and two other tanks with shrimp. It's a hit with my shrimp, and even the fry go crazy for it.
