Re: Characteristics of the betta splendens personality
My betta Lotus has a thing for squeezing through tight spaces, like those rosette swords - she just loves to dart in and out of them. She's got a bit of a food issue, eats way too much, but who can blame her? When her log is stationary, she gets a bit territorial with other fish, but as soon as it's ...

Re: Betta struggling after water change
Do you have a bottle of BettaFix anywhere near the tank? My mom once grabbed the wrong thing and put BettaFix in my brother's tank by mistake, and it didn't end well for his betta. I'm worried that might have happened to you too.
