Hi everybody,
I wanted to let you know that i have been reading through all the posts and have found them soooo helpful.
This is my second attempt at having a betta. I think the first one may have been unwell when i bought it (i felt sorry for the bad conditions it was kept in), and it lasted less than a week. I am determined that this won't happen to Wolfgang II, so i was hoping you could answer a couple of questions for me.
The first question i have is about the food. I have Aqua One Betta Pellets and he loves them. They just seem so tiny to me (the size of small toast crumbs). I see that people say that they feed 3 or 4 pellets twice a day to their fish. I just wonder whether these pellets are larger than the one im using? Does anybody use these pellets?
The second question is about cleaning out the tank. My first fish died the day after i changed his water for the first time. I have a 2 gallon tank and the first water change i would like to do this time is a half change. My question is, do i leave Wolfie in there while i take out and replace the water?
Thank you so much for any help you can give me. He seems really happy so i dont want to underfeed him or traumatise him with water changes! ;-)
