Am I getting so transparent that you know when I will tell you to watch out for things? That is funny! I suppose I would have worried but you did say he was moving them so I knew that he could if they aggravated him or he needed to for something.

I am so glad that he is starting to feed seperately for his sake and the sake of the other fish too. Bettas appreciate "quality time" with us and feeding time is a great time for it and especially if you hand feed by giving one piece at a time and making them chew their food. Diablo gets peeved with me when I do this and he is really hungry but he has not been constipated or had tummy problems since he started to do it so he can get over it.

Keep us informed as we do love stories about the normal everyday things not just when they are needing help. It will help others to contemplate getting a betta of their own.
