He's adorable though. And so quirky. His favorite thing to do is swim into the tightest corner he can possibly fit in. I'm so glad I brought him home. I still frantically check him every ten minutes!! Was the first week nerve wracking for you with your new babies?

yeah i sit right next to him lol. then he hides for awhile and i get up and look for him, then he'll peek at me or hide more.
gosh it's crazy how much i love this fish! <3 he's only been home since saturday. but seriously...i can tell i will probably want more...but at the same time i want to spoil him

everyday i'm more tempted to just get a ten gallon, divide, and work on a second betta, then also get a third as a rescue from the pet store. I think i'm already addicted! Right now he's swimming on the side of his tank near the lava lamp. He looks like he's asking "Why isn't the lamp on!"

okay :3 he's just so fun to watch too. And now he sees that the lava lamp is on. He wants those bubbles to start moving!! sometimes i want to just hug him. But yeah i know you really can't lol

So sometimes I turn his filter off. Now, when its off, and his light is off, he swims around investigating the glass. When its off and his light is on, he swims around alarmed, and flares. It's beautiful, but i'm worried it stresses him out. When the light is off and his filter is ON, he swims around leisurely. I'm not sure what to do. He just has a 1 gallon, but i want to make sure he's the most comfortable where he is right now.

he seems more calm with the filter on but idk if its the best thing to have in there @[email protected] i know it wont create a true cycle and i still need to do 50% and 100% water changes a couple times a week. it just worries me since the surface is 90% bubbly.
