xxdarnixx Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 by the way i am very upset for him too,im not just moaning about the fact that i have to wait months to breed him,i do feel incredibly sorry for him just incredibly angry at the stupid female for one and myself for not putting the lid on the betta container,i hate putting the lids on them tho as im scared that the container will unstick from the wall overnight and sink and if they can get to the surface they will drown (i am right in thinking they get most their air from the surface arent i) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Bit of a bummer , my fighter tank managed to rip their tails then one decided it would be nice if he would take a chunk out of another ones tail though the gap :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxdarnixx Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 lol brett,yea mines in 'time out' too. he looks ok (as in not stressed)but i wince every time i look at him,think it stressed me more than him isnt it amazing how their tails grow back different colours usually? i got my blue male with nipped fins and they grew back red tipped!! then 'rags' my lilac/blue male managed to get in with 5 girls one night......which is why he is now called rags......but his tail grew back a realy light purple,see through in some places,really nice affect but wouldnt suggest sticking them in with females to get it lol i hope this new ones fins grow back fast,i got him some betta pellets to help but he hates them so im just going to keep him on live food untill he starts to look better at least.
