    Hmm

    Just a quick one, My wife removed the gravel compeletly in the betta tank
    and oh boy this litle bugger is swimming up and down like mad..
    Is he mad that he does not have any more gravel? :D kekeke
    and funny enough, My wife has been very nasty to him today.
    did a water change and removed his first bubble nest
    and the gravels at the same time. his bubble nest was like a size of cigarette box

    Hi @BBQ

    When you change or remove many objects in their tanks they tend to do this, he will settle down soon enough. If this continue for longer than 2 days, something is wrong with the water and or he may have bacterial or fungal infection. Tetra General Tonic works well with these guys, tints the water green. You can also use a Rooibos teabag instead, works wonders. Leave his light of for a day or 2 then turn it back on as normal. He will build another nest soon enough.

    Ah thanks Charles, always could count on you for my betta issues :D
    I'll get the Tetra General tonic soon, also tried the rooiboos before for fin rot, and seems the fins fan out better now too
    he Just looks so much healthy since the day I got him.
    Told the wife to turn the light off, and theres guppy grass floting so hope he settles.
