I just got myself a new betta from an aquarium store in Damansara Uptown - the one opposite Fitness First.

It has been three days already and while it's eating (TetraMin Pro + Daphinea + Bloodworms), it isn't really swimming around or blowing bubbles. I'm off to get another cloth plant - slightly bigger one - just to give it more hiding places. (Currently, the aquarium has two small cloth plants which doesn't give it much shelter.)

What I like to know is WHAT THE HECK IS wrong with my betta. Water is dechlorinated with Aquasol (I think that's the name) and it's warm where I put the tank. It lies on the gravel most of the time and only flares up at my black leather sofa (where the aquarium sits next to) plus its reflection.

Very different from my previous blue crowntail which was agressive (even when eating) and blew bubbles non-stop.

Did I just get a sissy fighting fish or is it still adapting?
