    Hi all. I finally got my beautiful halfmoon white and blue betta today. Took my time acclimatizing him and after my big WC yesterday it did bring my sky high nitrates down to a manageable level. Got him from Fish-ETC which is a great store. They tested my water for free and threw in some plants too. He looks pretty happy, he is exploring the whole tank and is pretty lively. My one question is, I only now realised (since up until now I have had no fish in the tank) that both the sides of the tank are mirrored. Is this going to freak him out? Is he constantly thinking there is another fish in the tank? Another (possibly) dumb question is, are they sensitive to sound? My boyfriend practices violin and other instruments in the same room?

    Hi Bambithegirl. Don't think the sides of the tank will be any problem with the Betta. The back of my tank is up against a mirror and I don't see any weird reaction from him. I have seen male Betta's flare at themselves, reflection, in the tank glass but that is about it. I also don't think the sound of the music will affect him. If it was a drum I would have worried. :rock:
