Im just hoping that my dad will get me a five gallon tank for christmas, so I can upgrade Jasper's living quarter's.
And I'm mostly planning a couple of little surprises for him, toy's and freeze dried brine shrimp or a little tank mate that he can eat or not. ( I read on here that some betta's ate the ghost shrimp people bought..is that really healthy for them...if I do get him a ghost shrimp will he be ok if he eat's it)
What tankmate could I purchase to put in his 2.5 gallon with him...
lol dramaqueen...........well some of my boys have eaten the shrimp fromtheir tanks and dothers have not..........i have on male thats terrified of them, i took threm out of his tank
O ok thankx ChristinaRoss, I read somewhere too that some will trie to eat snails too. I'll have to do some more research as to wich one is healthier for him (the shrimp or the snail) if he does eat them.
If their both good I'd prefer to buy him a snail cause I think theyr fascinating *lol*
i love snails too, but, i had to remove them from my sorority tank, the girls kept picking at them all the time so then they got to where they wouldnt even come out. i have only tried in a few of the males tanks, and they picked on them too, so if u get shrimp or snails or both, you might have to remove them, so be prepared
I plan on that yes.
But I also like snails but I dunno if he'll even eat the shrimp.
Whatever you do do NOT get pond snails. They are so gross.... they poo 10X more than they eat and reproduce like mad. I had to take them out of Scuito's tank because they made it so gross..ewie
no I read up on it and one article say's that apple snails are the best or something.
I will get just one snail or one shrimp for now, Im totally prepared if he eats it, that's my intention.
I decided I'll get him a ghost shrimp for x-mas maybe,
If he doesn't eat it, can one ghost shrimp live in a 2.5 gallon tank with a betta...
