Oh, my silly betta boys are driving me up the wall tonight!!!

First, I look in my pleco tank, and Buddy, who had been doing so well with the plecos was defintetly harassing one of them. When I looked in the tank, he was tapping one with his nose, and it didn't seem to be anything to worry about. Then the tapping progressed to biting and flaring, and I thought UhOh!!! I grabbed my net and scooped him into it and placed him in a small bowl for the moment.

I figured, I'll just put Bijou in the tank. He is by far my most mild mannered betta and is a total sweetheart. I go to my divided 10 gallon and can't find Bijou. I started panicing thinking that he was dead and hidden somewhere. Then I look over into Dusty's compartment and Bijou had jumped the divider and was in there with him For some reason, him and Dusty sure love to visit eachother, but they give me a heart attack every time they do it!

Now, Buddy is in the divided 10 gallon and pouting. You should see him, he is absolutely sulking as much as he can to try to make me feel bad Bijou is in the 29 gallon and I think he might be a little overwhelmed with his new space. I'll check on them in the morning and hopefully they will be doing fine. What adorable, pain in the butt, betta brats they are!

I hate when they freak us out and they have so many ways of doing it too. I swear they pretend to be dead just to get a reaction. Geesh! lol

I have my divided tank next to my bed right now....I'm only turning the light on when I can monitor the 2 of them....I can't imagine the panic you felt when you saw them on the same side! Yikkkkkkkkkkkkkes!

I had that problem with Jagger with his apple snail....He would come in for a landing and head but him right off the wall....I eventually took the snail out!

I woke up this morning and Buddy and Bijou looked like they were doing better. Or at least no plecos had been attacked, and Buddy was still on his side of the divider. Hopefully this new arrangement works out better. I swear, these little bettas are such brats! I am convinced that they do half of this stuff just because they like to see us freak out, lol.

I would totally freak! I hope this new arrangement keeps everyone in line...!!
