Awe. I have a betta named Franklin. He attacks his food. Perhaps Bert just needs new water and conditioner? Even if it's clean, a bit of conditioner can help. Or some bloodworms?

thing is, he's new. I've had him for a couple of days now, and his water is clean and conditioned. So I changed his tank to see if that will help. I dunno yet. >_<' I think he's eating very few pellets... maybe that's just how he is. Vern just GOBBLES THEM UP. It's cute.

Ah-could just be getting use to it then :3

Did you cycle the tank before you put him in? :)

Those fish, and expressions. <3

omg this is adorable sfjfdplougrad *dies*

Thanks! X3

Reminds me of my King betta, He is Mr. Pheesh, though I think he dislikes my mate, constantly flares up anytime he comes in the room

-giggles- This is silly funny, but who knows?

wow those are some cute bettas, I have one as well. Its a red halfmoon with light green colored scales on the sides of his body. As from him being upset it could be is that he is still getting used to the new soundings thats all. I would say keep a eye on him and make sure that he eats his fair share of food, a good way to cheer them up is with a new decorations or some blood worms, sometimes when I change the water for my betta he freaks out a little but blood worms would help him to cheer up again

Bettas are pretty & have such personalities! I had one given to me as a Christmas gift from a co-worker a few years ago, I'm into finance, so I called him "Abacus" Sadly he only lived about a year.

Beautiful work!

Aaaaaaw, they're so adorable!!!!!!

I wanna sees photos!!!

OMG I love it! <3 I just got a new baby boy today that I'm trying to name! He's a blue Delta with BEAUTIFUL orange fins <3 He looks like a sunset! I was so worried about getting a new betta after my poor baby Numa died, but I just HAD to! <3 OMG BETTAS ARE AWESOME!

The shinyness of this really drew me into the picture ahahaa.

I do hope Bert will be more happy like Vern soon. (:

I thought the blue fin (Bert?) was a teardrop at first. D': Maybe he isn't happy with his environment? I tend to lose my appetite whenever I relocate, because me and change have never seen eye to eye (especially changes in where I'm living grrr).

Been having some sad feelings myself, so I haven't really been talking with people lately. Not circumstantial though. Just a low period I think.

Anything in particular got you down?

the shine on their fins is lovely. best of luck with your fish.

Bert looks so sad there XD!

Aaaawwws! ^^

I know it's too late for Bert (I'm really sorry, I've lost bettas too, I know how it feels) but in the future if you ever have a fish that isn't eating, try feeding it peas. You can use canned or frozen-thawed peas, just don't feed them the skin. Commercial betta food has grains that are unnatural and indigestible for the fish, while peas are a bit easier to digest and help to move things along. In fact when I had my bettas, I set up a feeding schedule where one day a week they got nothing but a half a pea each. This gave their digestive system a break (in the wild, they do not eat every day), and help to keep things regular.


Check out this forum if you run into any more problems, it's where I got most of my info back when I first started keeping fish.
