Hello everyone i am spazzfish you can call me spazz for short i have two betta fish: spazztic aka Batman a blue green crowntail with red in his tail he swims around his ten gallon tank spazzing out and Iradesence (Ira for short) i know this sound weird but she will change from a pale purple with darker stripes to pinkinkish purple with blue fin tips she lives in a 1 gallon vase inside spazz's ten gallon tank so her water stays warm. I tried swiching them out but But spaz looked very anoyyed :evil: and Ira looked lost :shock: so i swiched them back and everyone is happy. (i keep a small moon rock cave at the bottom of her vase so she can hide)
I have some quick questions sense i am new to betta keeping:
1. My betta swims in the filter's current? Ive read things that warn against strong filters but mine swims into it on purpose -_- when i turn it of he hovers under the lip like "where the heck the fun go ?" Is this ok or should i be concerend?
2. I want to add a small school of fish (neons right?) ghost shrimp and nerite snail to keep him company this will not stress him out right? He seems very passive i have my female in a vase in his tank and he just flirts with her every now and then, never aggressivelyjust sorta "whats up, babe?"
3. How much shoul i feed him he is still small about an inchish not including his tail i have 'tetra betta floating betta pelets with color in hancecers' it says feed in him 3-4 pelets twice a day but i know thats to much so i have been feeding him less than that and the female less than him he is currrently on a day fast until his belly gets back to normal i was scared out of my mind when i came home and he was fat as a goldfish! I dont want swim bladder so how much should i feed them.(i would bave no problem feeding them twice a day)
thanks in advance.
