I'm new to Betta parenting and took me 3 weeks to find Blue and he was the only one in my LFS who showed any interest in me. He's been in my care for 4 days and took a dislike to my Mystery snail who I then moved. Then he played footy with my Rams Horn snail and finally this flaring attack on my Nerites so all my cleaning crew have been removed. I have put in some baby Nerites and Rams Horn (who I find the best at cleaning the plants) but wondered if he'll possibly eat them. What can I put in there to entertain him. There's a couple hidey places and plenty of real plants to swim around his 5g tank As well as his Betta food I give him live Daphnia and Bloodworm regularly but concerned he may be lonely, I understand that flaring can be stressful so not keen on continually adding something that may upset him. Generally he seems OK and comes to the front when I'm nearby, excitingly flapping, not flaring so I guess he tolerates me!
