Hi everybody,
i'm just doing here a quick update, no questions, almost no worries.
So Casper is doing great as always, his fins are growing some bits i guess. Maybe it's just that his fins are more clear at the ends since they have never been completely red ever in his life since i got him.
Did 100% water change today and he is very glad that i changed his water, was needing a bit. Keeps swimming all around the tank. I'm going to feed him in a bit, pellets as usual.
Royal got "rehomed". He was that betta i got on impulse. He did his first bubble nest today!
But since i already had Casper and since my girlfriend also lost her goldie, Sinead, i gave him to her. She's not such a fan of bettas tho, she loves the goldies and the tropical fish but doesnt really like bettas, tho she took him home.
Royal is now in a 2,5 gallon tank, similar to Casper's. He still doesnt eat pellets, only flakes and only two flakes. When i give him more than that he spits it out. Let's see how he does in my girlfriend's house.
Shanaia, the snail is most probably dead. Yes, i did name the snail.
When i do water changes i place both Casper and Shanaia, as well as the marimo, in a little container while i wash everything. Today i took Shanaia out of the tank and was going to put it in the container and then it fell of my hand, rolled on the floor. I was going to look for it and as i take a step back, i step on it, crush all it's shell. I dont know if it's dead or alive so i decided to leave it in the container. Googled some stuff and it may be alive, just have to way to see but i'm 98% sure it's dead.
I guess that's all the updates i have.
Water conditioner for bettas are quite expensive here and come with very little amount so i may be getting water conditioner for tropical fish instead.

A couple of things - ANY water conditioner will do, it doesn't need to be a special 'Betta' brand. The important thing is that it's used! The other is to keep an eye on the betta hammock as the metal pin in the leaf is known to rust and/or protrude from the leaf, damaging the betta.
