Fish Addict
So today, I purchased 9 female bettas for my 64L tank.
I brought them home and acclimatised them in the slowest manner I have ever done with any fish, a grand total of probably 1 hour 30.
My main concern right now is that almost all of them, minus 2 or 3, are showing constant stress stripes (horizontal) and there is one who is just refusing to leave the quietest part of the tank (behind the filter outlet).
I know it's early days and they probably just need more time to get used to their new home, and I have heard that with some females, stripes are part of their pattern, but I'm worrying, as I always do when adding new fish.
Just for the record, 0/0/15.
No sign of disease,
Other inhabitants of tank (mainly peppered corys and one plec) all happy as Larry.
Anyone care to console me and just tell me I'm being silly?
