Meet Wilbur :)

Well my sister finally caved in and got a red crown tail male. She used my old 2.5 gallon.
She has 2 silk plants and a decor of a ruined ship that has silk plants on it.
The tank came with a under gravel filter, which she is using. Planing on doing water changes of course.
Also she has a heater that is keeping the water at 78.

I love that shade of red, so pretty. That set up is very cute!

[Cassandra90]

Thank you. It was something simple and cheap to do real quick. He seems to like it.
She named him, she is 18. So it is about time for her to get the betta bug.

The only thing that concerns her is he freaks out when she turns her light off in the room but keep his tank light on her flares and just goes nuts non stop.

He's beautiful, love the tank! My CT boy does that too. It's because when the light is on on the tank, the light only bounces off the walls and into darkness. He can't really see outside of the tank anymore, so he sees his reflection more clearly. I think that's waht it is. :)

[Cassandra90]

That is what I guessed too.
Thank you. Even though I don't think the tank is anything special, but atleast it is betta proof lol.

[Bettaluver4evr]

I like the tank! I love the decor, and I love how RED he looks against it. I'm sure he's very happy! :)

[Cassandra90]

Better than being in a small cup.
he hasn't ate yet but I figured it may take a day for him to get comfortable enough to eat. I have betta flakes, pellets and freeze dried blood worms that I use for my halfmoon so I told my sister we can share the food since it is alot.

[Bettaluver4evr]

It's way better than being in a cup, I assure you. :) Sometimes bettas don't eat right away. One of the forum members, his betta took 2 weeks to start eating, but now he's a lil pig! Hehe. I'm sure he'll perk up. And that's a good idea, sharing food. :)

[Cassandra90]

I have one more tank that is a 5 gallon with a filter and heater, gravel, plants. That is just sitting around but I do not have the time for one more at the moment. Most likely I'll be helping my sister out with hers since it is her first fish. She sees what I do and she helps when I need it. But I don't mind doing the dirty work to keep fish.

[Bettaluver4evr]

Aww, that's nice! :) I'd loooove a 5 gallon. :) I will hopefully get a 3 gallon mondayish for my CT, who's in the smallest tank right now. ;/
