Welp I now am no longer a water tank keeper I'm now a fish tank keeper. I'm not sure how this is going to work out in the long run but here's what I'm trying. I have 6 neon tetras and one male betta. So here's what it looks like. I have two bubble stones in there but everyone was gettting tossed arround so it's off unless I start having an O2 problem.
Here's my betta (not naming him... He'll die in a week if I do LOL) A question on him though. He flares at his reflection in one corner of the tank but only with one gill open. Should I be worried? Petco has a 15 day guarenty (really I tried spelling it right my brain just isn't working tonight). So I can return him if it's a bad thing. He seemed the most dosile one on the shelf so that's why he got adopted. The real shame though is there was a crown tail betta in the mix but he was even flaring at me when I picked up his cup. **** shame really he was one nice looking fish, but I'm sure he couldn't do a comunity tank.
And here's one of the neons. They seem to be checking the tank out and aren't schooling at all, but I think it may have to do with the fact I only picked up 6 for now to see how they fair with a betta and possible water chem swings. I'm hoping to make the tank all tetra's but I'm waiting for the Betta to show it's personality first. I have a 10G I can put him in if the need arrises.
So there it is. Wish me luck I'm most likely going to need it.
