I dont think my betta likes me...

[ShadowBlackmare]

Spunky dosent seem to like me, he always tends to stay at the bottom of the tank. Violet comes up to the tank sometimes. But Spunky dosent...

How big is the tank? How warm is the water?

[ShadowBlackmare]

2.5 gallons I believe, and 72 F. hes active, but hides when I open the tank

[AngelicScars]

2.5 gallons is a great size. The temp should be a bit higher though, around 78-80 degrees F.
You just got him yesterday correct? He could just be adjusting to you and his new home. I think a couple of my Betta were skittish at first, then they realized I feed them. :) After that, they would come right up to the top when I open the tank begging for food.

[ShadowBlackmare]

I guess your right, maybe I'll give him some time.

Since you just got him, he may be like that for a few days. He just needs to get used to his new home, don't worry!

like the others have said, when i moved chloe to a bigger tank she was freaked out everytime i opened the lid to put food in there, but once she realized that i wasnt going to attack her and actually feeding her, she warmed up to the lid opening, and now i have to be careful because she will jump if im not careful

[ShadowBlackmare]

thanks everyone I'll give spunky some time, he seems very scared, I hope he likes me soon, I believe violet likes me ^^

but ya thanks for the advice everyone

Each one has their own personality. Some are friendly right away and others take awhile to warm up to their owners.

I agree with what everyone else has said.

I just wanted to add that 72 F is really much to cold. You are going to need a heater to get that temp up to around 78-80.
