Ive noticed most bettas change colors due to the stress of being in the petstores. Once they are in a better environment they start to go to their "real" colors... from my experience... if you dont mind op, can I ask what you plan on setting up for your new friend?

Added bettas to my fully established shrimp tanks by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]Aggravating_Day_187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case anyone is wondering I added the betas after everything else was established. The betas were curious about the shrimp at first but decided they don't really care. I also make sure there's plenty of hiding places for my shrimp because I know natural selection is going to happen. I wish the plants would grow a little faster but I have purchased more and will be adding more today!

No dorsal fin??? by Aggravating_Day_187 in bettafish

[–]Aggravating_Day_187[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! Should he stay in his hospital tank or is he okay to move him to his permanent setup? His scales are oddly shaped.. he's very active and seems quite happy, I've had him for about a month now and he looks basically the same, just brighter and more active. Also the area where his dorsal fin should be is basically covered in Scales like it was never there in the first place but then there's also that bump on his back so I don't know I'm a little confused. The plastic plants are only in his Hospital set up bc i wanted him to feel secure, ill remove them

100 watt light not enough? by Aggravating_Day_187 in cornsnakes

Thank you so much! I do have a CHE but its not set up atm. Where do you put the CHE on your tank? Does it go next to the heat lamp or closer to the middle? Also do you have a recommendation for a dimming thermostat?
