Meet Casper the Friendly Betta

[LizzyP]

Oh, good. Right now he's hiding behind his heater, but he does come out when I go over to check on him. He's kinda sitting at the bottom of the tank, no clamped and the water is sitting at 80F, so maybe he's just stressed?

[LebronTheBetta]

He's probably just adjusting to his new home. As long as he's not clamped or anything odd is going on he should be fine! He's named after the ghost, right? ;)

[LizzyP]

Hahaha, yeah. Ryan suggested Casper and I kinda liked it. And it seems to fit him, I have to actually walk over to the tank and peer inside of it to make sure he's still there, unlike Dumbledore who I can see from across the room. :P

Oh, Cicero was doing the same thing. I had him in his 2.5 and he was all over the heater and hiding in weird places.

I'm sure he's doing great, just a little shy as he's adjusting.

[LizzyP]

He does swim over to me when I come look at him. He won't flare for me though. Oh well, maybe we will try in a couple days.

[CandiceMM]

What a beauty he is, you have a great find!!! It would be nice if he stayed that color it's beautiful.

[LizzyP]

Well this morning I came and he doesn't look so hot...

He's sitting at the bottom of his tank, clamped (not horribly) but will come to the surface when I walk over. I'm crossing my fingers he doesn't stress too much...

[CandiceMM]

Thats too bad but im sure he will get used to his surrounding and be happy and stress free in no time :) Has he eaten for you yet?

[lillyandquigly]

He looks more like a Delta tail then a hm....

[LizzyP]

He's eaten once today, and that's it. I offered him a pellet earlier and he wanted nothing to do with it.
