Question
Hi,

I just had a betta a few days ago and he is in a 2.5 gallon tank he seems quite sad because whenever I'm around he sinks to the bottom and when i leave he swims happily is there something wrong with him and how much pellets should i feed him the pellets are very small and do i have to put plants beacuse I still dont have one because I'm a little short in money but my birthday is near.

Merry Christmas tnx.

Answer
it would make him happier if you had a plant for him yeah..

do you have a filter and a heater?

the pellets...i would feed him about 3-5 pellets a day (depnding on size) but it should say on the packet how much to feed them..

Merry Christmas to you too.
