Betta in new tank

Betta: Just got a betta yesterday p.m.; cobalt blue and gorgeous. I have serpae tetras-five to be exact-one neon and an algae eater in my 29 gallon. He seems to be happy. A slow eater compared to the tetras.

micheline Hi,

Your new Betta sounds gorgeous and he'll love the space in your 29 gallon, its ages since I've seen a decent Betta over here (Wales)

I'd watch those Serpae Tetras if I were you. They may be fine but they are well known for fin-nipping, especially Betta Fins and as you have already observed the Betta doesn't move very fast. Sooo if his fins start to look tatty or he starts looking stressed.......

and only one Neon Tetra??? he needs at least another 5 to keep him company

Regards
