just cos theyre cute causes this whole thread. do you all do the same for fair gold fish?, god knows what they go through when you bring them home they just die.

Mr. Beta does not love me after all. bubble nest now consumes 1/4 of the front right surface area. beta was flaring and darting at glass when i approached that end. I am only allowed to feed on left side.. I dont know if I should be offended. My new theory is, after the bad cleaning experience...

my beta, Mr. Beta, is the best pet I ever had in my 25 years life. Ive had a 3 cats, a love bird, and a dog, and never in my life would i thought a Beta fish would inspire me to get up in the morning to feed him just so i can see him get happy, flare and blow buble at me. and the worse part out...

i dont know if it hurts the fish or not. mine is healthy, ive done 8 full water changes. the last one made him very upset or i possibly hurt him when i had to grab him out of the bowl, dont grab. i use luke warm water each time to fill tank

the best companion a betta could ever have is his owner!

oh man i got him up this morning and he was like morning groggy while he ate breakfast. went to job, came back to one with the biggest bubble nest ive ever seen, surounding the extra flaking grub food i put in. and he was so happy to show me what he built he was flarring at me 20 feet away it...

maybe youre feeding him too much, the people i live with kept feeding him an unlimited buffett and he would eat a puke than reeat the puke and then puke then just lurch around doing nothing all day. i got them to leave him alone and now i just feed him and hes very frisky and deveoloped a...

you know it got to the point where sitting next to him wasnt enough, i had to actually get up and sit looking at him infront of the tank as he flares up and brings me bubbles. yes he was going up gulping air, going back down to eye level then shooting a bubble at me.. finally an hour ago he...

sigh, hes terrorizing me now, i cant even watch tv anyore. he got done making the nest than he started staring at me, then swam back and forth lightly a few inches apart then went into turbo mode again crashing his head on the glass.. i walked over there and he gave me huge giant flares this...

yes a fish that goes out of his way to get my attention by violently bashing his head on the glass to make me give him food for the satisfaction of knowing he can make me give him food is another dimention of smarts which i really doubt a beta has. but he did go into happy mode afterwards... bah...

ok all the bubbles hes still popping up has all that food i dropped in, in some sort of quagmire. he must be thinking he can keep the food there and it wont get swept away by the pump tonight but thats just crazy cos a) hes going eat it before then and B) the current will immedately sweep that...

i didnt expect to post again so soon, this fish is freaking me out. i came up to the familly room to watch tv which is where mr. beta is and he was just floating there doing absolutly nothing and noticed me so i went over and he came to me but didnt flare then i said 'hello' and he went into...

the pump is strong. i have considered that as a possibility, but not so after fidilling with the stream adjustment. when I put the stream on low mr. beta disaproves, will not lay on the rocks and nudges the pump giving me an 'i dont know what to do just fix it look' and i spent several days...

as soon as morning came he got off the floor and started swiming. turned the pump off for the day and he hasnt asked for it again yet. ate breakfast. came in at noon to a bubble nest, walked over to him to check it out and he glided to the glass then i said said 'hello mr. betta, how are you?'...

I'm starting to get little clues as to the real purpose to his unusual frequent surface for air. I had the pump off all day and when I came home there were tons of little bubble on the surface which was the first time I have ever seen this. I guess hes making bubbled nests for some reason, I...
