Exactly. Stability is key. Sudden temp swings can stress them out, so a reliable heater is a must.

72F is definitely on the lower end. They thrive best at 78-82F. A heater is pretty much essential unless your room temp stays consistently in that range. What size tank are you using?

I've had success with smaller food particles. Try blending the mysis or using something like Reef Chili. Favias sometimes ignore larger chunks if they're not in the mood.

You could've named him Jack Frost, that's a great one. That betta of yours is truly something special, I love the way he looks.

If it's not moving and doesn't appear to be breathing after a while, I'm afraid it might have passed away.
