Sorry if this is a totally annoying post. But I had some new questions about my new(ish) Beta, Martini!
- How big of a tank does Martini need? I purchased one at the pet store, specifically advertised as a Beta tank, and he seems to love it. Not sure of the gallons, but it's not teeny-tiny.
- What should Martini eat? I purchased Beta ColorBright flake food, per the employee who helped me at the pet store. I don't think he likes it, though. I shake a shake-ish in there, twice a day (again, per the employees directions), and even with small amounts, it seems to take him forever to eat, and some of it always ends up just sinking to the bottom.
- How often should I change his water? I changed it 100% today, and have had him about 3 weeks. I changed it once (50%) about a a week and a half ago. But the water smelled to high heavens when I was changing it, today!
- Does he need a heater and a filter? I was instructed that he didn't, but I know store employees aren't always 100% knowledgeable.
Thanks in advance, everyone!
