nice
 he is a double tail. there seems to be an influx of them in LFS's at the moment. i got one very similar to yours a couple of weeks ago, and i also got a white one last week.is his tank heated? it realy should be, especialy as its such a small volume of water as the temprature will fluctuate rapidly. a small heater and a small sponge filter or even an airstone to cirulate the water will help keep his tank clean too oh and remove the rockwool from your plant.. ive found it encourages algae growth

Errm.. I have no rock wool in the tank... Yes the room he is in is quite warm. 21-24 degrees.
The tank I think is 8-10L D&D |

QUOTE (Duck and Dive @ May 20 2008, 08:24 PM)  Errm.. I have no rock wool in the tank... Yes the room he is in is quite warm. 21-24 degrees. The tank I think is 8-10L D&D oh is that not rockwool round the rootball of the plant? my mistake if its not =) you need a heater to keep the temperature stable. 24 degrees water temprature is about the MINIUMUM a betta should be kept at for long term. the temprature of his water will fluctuate and this will cuase him stress and may lead to problems. its like you sitting in a draughty room, only the fish cant regulate its own body temprature. the size of tank is fine for him, but id seriously recomend a heater to keep the temp stable at 24+ degrees. you can get a 10 watt heater for small tanks like yours its called a "newattino plus" i have a couple of them and they are great |

this is where i got mine, i shopped around for he cheapest deal... but they were cheaper than this when i got them. the were only £12 each. i git the "plus" coz its thermostaticly controlled. look on ebay, you might get a second hand 25 watt heater cheap =) |
