kandeecane Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 So if I want to put plants in vases for my bettas... What would I be best off using? And as for food. I have Tetra Freeze-Dried Worms and Hikari Tropical Betta Bio-Gold pellets. (Haven't had time to get my hands on live cultures yet.. Only started this betta thing Monday when I confiscated my brother's sick betta from his (not so much) care.) Can anyone help me get started or even point me in the direction of a few threads that would give me most I need to know about basic caring for my betta to help it thrive. I've started my experience with Bettas with a sick betta and far out it is stressful! My first time owning any type of tropical fish, really. And I've learnt they are REALLY finicky. And anyone that wants to help name my new green Round-Tail is welcome! I'm no good with names. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Start with the betta care sheet. Otherwise I suggest you have a read through the General Discussion forum. The thread titles make it pretty self-evident if they'll have info useful to you, eg "just starting out in betta world". Try the older threads first, because since then people have stopped re-inventing the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I agree..lots of info on this forum re caring for your boy. Give him some basic hygiene and time, you'll hopefully get a healthy happy betta. Any pics of him?...might get a better feel for naming him that way.

kandeecane Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I think I have /one/ at the moment. But he's basically a rounded tail (When he's flaring) veil-tail. So he has the long veil at the bottom, but also a rounded tail when he's flaring. Really pretty. He basically looks like this: But with a round tail. I think he's prettier. In the light, the middle of his fins are an irridescent golden green shimmer. o_O No idea why that didn't work. http://www.ppaquarium.com/..\images...ALE%20GREEN.JPG Go to that link. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I guess you mean that's not him, but he looks similar with a rounder tail and lighter/golden shimmer to his fins? If the colour is light blue/green maybe name him: Bamboo Warrior.... or boo for short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
