I have either owned veiltails or crowntail bettas all my life. I just got a DT yesterday and he sure is cute.
I have never really had a problem with bettas "settling in". They usually are swimming and eating the second day i get them in their tank. i have my DT betta in a 2.5g tank. it has a plant and a hiding spot and gravel flooring....the essentials. Anyways. He seems to do nothing, and he seems to not move when i am looking at him. its almost like he is semi- active when im not looking, but he doesnt move when i look. he has eaten like 1 pellet i think. and thats when i put it right in front of him. maybe its just me but is a DT's behavior different then veil or crowntail?
I mean like..... do DT's swim around less?
I noticed it is a little hard for him to swim because of his DT. He flutters, but thats no biggie.
So basically. my number one question is:

Will my DT settle in finally and be a happy fishy swimming and eating soon?
He is the fish in my avatar.

The essentials are Heater, Filter and Cycled tank does he have those?

DTs can someties have problems if there fins are overly big, your guys look fine so he won't have any problems swimming, maybe stick another plant or 2 in make him feel more secure
