Been cycled for about 9 months the goodies are 5 to 6 inch and 3 to 4 and a half inches and the water just looks really nice i am on top of weekly water changes and I don't know what filter it is what I ment by crystal clear is that it's not brown or green it is really clear

ok im goin back on my first post to say that u could add fish instantly aslong as u do what fluttermoth says

 

[Fishy friend2]

Okay that's what I was thinking since there are colonies already

 

[fluttermoth]

Yeah, just use your best judgement, go very cautiously with stocking and be prepared to do a lot of water changes if it goes wrong.

Okay I just have one more question can a Betta eat the flakes like the other fish will or does my dad have to try to feed him separately

 

[fluttermoth]

No, bettas can eat normal fish flake; all mine did when I kept them (actually, that was so long ago I don't think you could get special betta foods!).

 

[Fishy friend2]

Okay thanks

My betta eats flake, but gets a treat of bloodworm every few days. My lfs said specific betta foods were not required and just another ploy for us to waste money.

my mom told me that we were going to petco and then we ended up at the grocery store so i had to settle with buying betta pellets from there and he loves the new ones he is eating perfectly fine now that i changed foods
