This is completely hypothetical, as I'm still researching Mystery snails and bettas. But, how would I go about introducing this type of snail to a betta tank? I know that they should be placed in prior to the betta, but if the betta is established can I still go about this? Should I take my...

is better after his overeating scare..

I don't know how to delete a post. D: I'm moving this to the normal forum...

Zaboo is doing fine; though I did have a mini- heart attack when I saw his belly last night! Haha, bettas are ridiculous with feeding; they just don't stop! :) Apparently if they don't show obvious signs just after feeding, they're likely to be fine; great thing to know! By the way, your fish...

Zaboo used to be really picky, now he eats everything! My friend fed him a few minutes ago when I was in the shower (ugh..), she says he ate a couple flakes. I know he ate too much; his belly is rounded and slightly white. He's as active as always, but I'm afraid he'll get constipated or swim...

So. I added a silk plant so that he had somewhere safe to rest while the betta bulbs are growing, and removed the dragon decoration (He was sleeping against it, and I wanted to keep him from brushing up against anything even remotely rough, especially now). I added salt to the tank, and have...

This was him 9/12, he was normal:: 9/19 (Terrible photo, but there is an arrow at his gap in the tail)--At this point he had just started eating, so I thought it might have had something to do with lack of nutrition, or the fact that he didn't yet have a heater...:: This is him now, he looks...

So, I've posted here once before- My crowntail, Zaboo, wasn't eating. I have since gotten him a heater, and he was eating frozen bloodworms fine (won't touch the pellets). 2.5 gallon tank, heater and filter. In it is gravel, 3 growing betta bulbs, and a fish-intended decoration. He was fine...

He absolutely won't touch the Hikari pellets I just bought- He eats the freeze dried bloodworms now (And I bought a heater- HE LOVES IT), so I was planning to go out soon to get the frozen. But I heard that frozen/freeze dried foods all the time isn't good for bettas. That they don't get enough...

Thank you so much for the suggestion of the 25 watt, I've been suggested to not get a heater before. I will go out over the weekend and get him a heater!! I've actually gotten him to eat! He is fond of moving food, so presoaking freezedried bloodworms and letting them drop into the tank to sink...

The tank is a 2.5, its too small to be heated- he'd fry. Instead, I leave the light on for a while at a time, and the temperature is fine. Yes, and yes. And I need to call them tomorrow, I know that I got him the morning when they restocked, so they probably didn't even feed him.. I was just...

Sunday, I brought home a gorgeous crowntail, and he hasn't eaten since I got him. Tank:: ~2.5 gallon (I'm in a dorm room, I plan on upgrading him eventually) ~Not heated, but his water isn't cold. ~Gravel and decoration in the tank ~Just today took out 3 slow growing betta bulbs, in case they...
