I have new fish!

[demfish]

Thanks for all the comments and information. decided on the red coral swordtail's (thats what it said on tank)

Their small and fast. not as easy as my fat Goldy's, to get pic of!

Also 3 Platy's.. Just for John= murdock

So far the Betta is fine with his new tank mates.

Ahhh...Very cool. I'm happy for you. Enjoy your new guys!!

Congrats on your new fish!



I really liked the third picture from the top, it looked like the Platties were "flying" in your room!

I believe they are red and/or gold wagtails.

BTW, your crowntail looks just like mine.

So I suppose I won't have any more bubble nest now? Spike (Betta) has not flared since I put him in the new tank

[goldenpuon]

Nice fish! I wonder if they take after Murdock's platies in some way... Then you would end up with a LOT.

He may just be getting used to the new tankmates, however, bettas typically build their nests where there is no current and very little activity. He may still build one, if the other fish leave him alone.

If you want to see him flare, get a small mirror and place it next to the tank where he hangs out. He will certainly oblige as bettas don't recognize themselves in a mirror as anything but another betta. It is a stressor, though, so don't leave it there too long.
