He puffs out when he feels threatened... I'll try and get a picture of that... His fins and gills stretch super far out... Even the bottom of his chin "flips open" ...Reminds me of Predator.. #haha#

awww, I had Betas all the time growing up as a kid. They are really cool and can live for a long time. I had one last 8 years! Try putting a mirror up to the tank, he will puff out big time then!
Also when the males are ready to mate they build "bubble nests" at the top of their tanks out of spit bubbles. Its where they keep the eggs from the female until they hatch. The male beta is a good daddy.

My little Nico is sick. He's got fin rot. I've been taking super good care of him. I decided to change his water conditioner and add some de-stress stuff to his water when I was changing it, and a few days later a few of his back fins started changing. I quickly changed his water and added the old conditioner... Also ordered some medicine. I hope he's not in any pain! He hasn't been eating much at all.. He mostly just sits at the bottom, behind his rock. He's usually pretty active. I hope my lil guy feels better soon!
