D-7 Sleeping disorder?





Jessica sleeping in his tank



Seems like Jessica has adapted his owner's sleeping disorders.
As his lights are letft on for about 20Hrs a day
because I usually go to bed around 4AM in the morning.

I should cover the tank once again during night time so Jessica can enjoy normal sleep patterns.

As you can see in the picture below he was sleeping already at 9PM when all my lights were on... He must be very tired.

Betta fish should be getting plenty of sleep.
Imitating an environment with 12 hours of daylight
12 hours of night time is recommended.





Today also marks day 2 of my conditioning experiment.

I first flashed the checkedboard to Jessica for about 2 mins,then I took the images away and gave him the goods.

I tried to keep the food at the highest point of the water as possible, so Jessica has to make the trip to the top of the water.

I repeated this step twice at one occasion to embrace the conditioning.






The presence of Bubble Nests are more distinct now ,
as they have been piling up on one corner of the tank!




Jessica says: Hell0 World!

D-4 Bubble Nests







Photographed by WSK Canon SX120 IS 6-60mm

Bubble nests started to appear on the surface of my fish tank
These bubbles mean that your betta fish is happy to be your fish!

I haven't been able to see much activity of Sica today beacuse I was out all day
But in general it seems to be adapting well to its new home as we can see alot of bubble build up on the surface of the pool.

Last night I have ordered an aqua plant and clean up crew (clams , muscles & snails)
they should be arriving in about 2-3 weeks .

Live plants are useful because :
1. they provide hiding spots for your betta fish
2. they create oxygen for your tank and betta fish
3. they make awesome decoration for your fish tank

clams,snails,muscles will be useful for keeping your tank cleaner , as they feed off
your fish waste and moss created in your tank.
