5 gallon, in process of cycling. The betta was impulse buy. He's doing great and eating but nitrates and nitrites a bit high.

Rule #1 You cannot say you have a betta and not post a picture.

its impossible to take a picture of a betta in the first place.

 

[Nourhanateout22]

Right?? Lol

 

[GouramisAreSuperior]

Every time I walk up to the tank so I can give him food, he suddenly gets in the optimum position for me to take pictures, but when I bring my phone out, suddenly, my perfectly fine phone magically starts taking blurry pictures.

Yes Bettas are a super-curious. Our Betta watches TV when it's on! I think Bettas are so smart that they get bored. Who knows?
