Cleaning Time

[UglyMuffin777]

Ughh my betta has grown to smart for his own good. Now he will hide under his leaf when I go to get him(I tried using a cup, the bowl he came in, AND a soup ladel) NOTHING WORKS!!! (I don't have a net, since I'm afraid it might scrape him, or ruin his slime coat) So fellow betta lovers, and fish bowl cleaners, what is the safe and gentle way to get a betta for a 100% water change???

Your betta's a little piggy right? Just drop in a bloodworm and scoop him up while he's eating! Hehe :)

I'll try that :) but I don't want him to associate a little cup with bloodworms, then he won't eat.

I don't know if it is good for bettas but I always used it on my old fancy goldfish (course he was really friendly and loved me <3) I just scooped him up in my hand, much mor versatile

Haha really? My betta will eat anything, he even tried to eat styrofoam once but couldn't get it into his mouth.
