here are the pics! sorry about the quality... all i had was my phone. as you can see... (s)he's tiny! i'm thinking i'm going to grow him/her out to about three inches in the ten... i'm afraid such little fish would get lost in the 29. i'll work on finding some wood for him/her, and try some peat in order to lower the Ph. so far (s)he seems really friendly... (s)he's been out a lot.

yeah they're fun fish to have, they eat continually so if you can see the food you can see the fish lol

I've got some zucchini in there, (s)he just hasn't found it yet. I'm just leaving it raw this first time because A. That's how the guy I bought the fish from feeds it, and B. It'll last longer while (s)he figures out where it is.

 

[Fozzybear]

both good reasons...I only feed it raw, otherwise its just too messy and everybody else in the tank insists on getting in on the snacking.

 

[homedog98]

Yeah, I tried stuffing it with frozen bloodworms... But the bloodworms didn't sink lol. I'll have to find a better system.

Cool!

Thanks!

Ok, I'm noticing (s)he's hanging out behind the heater a lot... The temp is at 77... Also, replaced the zucchini. I think (s)he found it, but I replaced it anyways. I put it in the same spot so (s)he'll always be able to figure out where it is.

i think they like the temp in the 80s and your betta will too
