your betta's reaction to marimo?

[majesticstorm]

Well, I got 2 marimo moss balls just for my Rain, a tennis-sized one and a slightly smaller (but still considered a giant one). They cost me quite a bit, but I thought that it was worth it if my fish is happy.

So far my Rain's been playing around with the other decorations (floating plastic plant, terracotta pot, heck even the thermometer! ) but he's ignored the moss balls completely. Although he did stare at one for the longest time and then swam away.

I told my friend about it, and his reply was "just talk to him sternly" like Rain was a little kid to be disciplined and it made me laugh

Do your bettas like their moss balls?

Nope! Toby doesn't even look at them haha. But I heard some fish use them as beds (;

[majesticstorm]

Yeah, I heard that too, and thought it would be adorable if mine did that..but guess not.

It's so disappointing when you want them to do something and they won't...those darn fish haha (:

Too cute Sandy! When Gus 1st got his, he played Marimo Socer! He would headbutt it into a corner and then get up behind it and wiggle it back out to the middle of the tank and then do it again! He doesn't play with it much anymore, but hey! I still got a plant

Your fish sure is athletic, bluewind!

[Bluewind]

He's a mess is what he is! I sware he thinks he's a dog!

I wish I had a girlfriend for Gus so he could pass on that sweetness gene. He actually mothers my neons! That boy is one of a kind XD
