Re: A question about my betta's behaviour

He's really perked up now, lots more active. He's eaten a couple of bug bites, but wouldn't come up for any floating food. Thanks for all your help and reassurance, it's really appreciated!

Re: A question about my betta's behaviour

Just had the fright of my life. He managed to squeeze behind my corner filter. I've now blocked it up with filter floss after I got him out, what a relief.

At this point, he seems content just laying there, and it's nice to see he's already found a few spots that he likes to rest in. I've kept ...

A question about my betta's behaviour

I just got a new betta and I'm not sure what's going on. He's nameless for now, so feel free to suggest something. At the store, he was super active in that tiny tank, probably because he could see another male betta next door. He was also really active in the bag. But now that he's in my tank, he ...
