So I got a betta fish named Cap’n to go with this cool mini, self preserving ecosystem that I got last Christmas. I’ve been really nervous while taking care of it because fish are very fragile and one wrong move could get them killed in a day. Plus, this is my first time taking care of a fish. Cap’n has been giving me quite a few scares. The morning after the day I got him, he stayed at the top of the tank for a long while. I learned that this was most likely because of oxygen problems and ammonia poisoning from over feeding. I changed the tank water, and ever since then, he’s been staying in his little purple home I got him, only coming out to feed and sleep at the surface. Today, the tank has gotten cloudier, and I learned that this is because of certain bacteria that aren’t too harmful and should pass away soon. The mini ecosystem came with water plants that are supposed to suck up ammonia and other harmful chemicals. They are currently sprouting now and I think that they are doing their job a little already. Does anyone else know of anything that I should know if I’m going to keep Cap’n alive? Any useful information will be rewarded with a cookie! [spoiler]Fades Away[/spoiler]
