New Betta - How Does This Sound?

[lilacamy931]

Thank you LOL hadn't see daphnia before which would explain it as know what brine shrimp looks like, do you spoon them out what is the best way of feeding when get to it?

p.s. can you put daphnia in the fridge like bloodworm and they go into a slumber like stasis?

WOw he is really nice, Looks like a Spoonhead Body shape.
Daphnia = Keep them in a Small tub with access to light and they will multiply. Add some water from the tank and some greens for them to feed on.

 

[lilacamy931]

I will certainly give that a go and see if it works Though little nervous on attempting to try that, any particular greens? thanks everyone!

BTW his name is Calcifer. (any fans of Howls Moving Castle out there?)

[lilacamy931]

A abit of Lettuce will do, or if you have any green water in the garden in a rainbutt or bucket.

OMG - Calcifer excellent name, Love Howls Moving Castle, off topic have you seen girl who lept thru time yet

 

[lilacamy931]

No I havent! I have only seen a limited number of his movies and REALLY want to see that one! Almost went to see Howls Moving Castle in the cinema so disappointed didnt get to, least I have a DVD for continuous watcing.

Thanks for that have some good old lettuce for them.

Thank yoU!

In a min do you reckon can add him to the tank?

 

[bagu]

hes a stunner!

 

[Gill]

Yeah you can add him, he has had a very long acclimization process. Unless they are thailand imports I normally acclimate within 15 mins

 

[lilacamy931]

Well he is added and given a couple of daphnia (used a syringe to get a couple) Will leave alone tongiht and see how he is in the morning.
Here is Calcifer in his tank (he seems relatively ok with a bit of flicking).

Stunning fish, tank looks great too, well done

 

[lilacamy931]

Thank you, there is one real plant in a small pot, 3 ferny soft things and a moss ball

Got 5 plants ordered with the betta, so excited forgot to ask what they are..so we will see how they cope (only one in that plant and the rest in my dwarf puffer tank).
