    My Beta

    This is Lil Cupid. He was a Valentine’s Day gift from my boys. He is the most social Beta I’ve had. From the size of his bubble nests, he seems to be extremely happy and thriving. He will come out of his tiki hut when I come around to say hi. I just adore him.

    New Beta isn’t eating, and hanging around the top constantly

    I just recently got a new black orchid betta. He’s rather small, and my third one. I’m very aware of how their personalities differ, and how each one is unique. I am still learning as I go, but I’ve got a good handle on a lot of things. However, he isn’t really eating. I shrugged it off as the...
