Looks like it has good stuff it in... and I don't have to test first!!

haha

Yeah, I like it. Hey, it keeps, You won't have to keep buying it. I'd go for it. I'd give you some but shipping is more that the bottle.

Nice change for your betta getting those live plants. You have to watch the fins of male betta because they can get caught and torn on fake plants with spikey leaves.

I had a whole bunch of betta once...when I first got into the hobby....I bred a pair and ended up with over 200 baby betta....in which MOST survived.....I had more fish than I knew what to do with....hehe......for six months all I did was change water and feed fish.

PS.....DON'T breed your betta....lol.....

Terri · 01-08-2008, 05:26 PM

I'm proud of you. He has a great home now.. I always feel sorry for them in that little cup at the store. We all should save one. wait that won't work they will just get more.

Gina · 01-08-2008, 06:56 PM

He's pretty! I'm glad you got him a larger living area also. I'm like Terri and feel so sorry for them in those little bowls at the store.

DaveK · 01-08-2008, 07:00 PM

The live plants help a lot. I think I'd get rid of the red gravel also. It looks very artificial, and detracts from the beta. I think a dark tan or brown or even black gravel would show off the fish a lot more.

Also, since you have all of 3 gal, you could consider an additional fish or two. Naturally, you don't want to add another beta, but a cory or two might work out well. Betas don't really like to feed from the bottom. Note the upturned mouth.

Woodstock · 01-09-2008, 10:08 AM

LOL EMG! I had thought about renting a female for him but not trying to raise the fry...

Teri & Gina - thanks!

DaveK - Good idea... humm...
