Youre doing fine devine canine! Lemme give you a tip though, you dont have to keep buying spring water. They sell a product that comes in liquid form that takes the metals and chlorine right outta the water. This little bottle last me for about a month and I have a frog tank, betta bowl, goldfish tank and community tank. I forget what its called and im too lazy to get up right now.lol I will post back tho, with the name of the solution. It costs about $3.50 and it will save you some cash.

LOL! You should have seen it when I had my 55 gallon South American tank, complete with live plants. The types of fish I had could only tolerate very soft water, but our tap water here is hard enough to chew. I ended up doing the whole tank with nothing by reverse osmosis water! Nothing like hauling 15 gallons a week for water changes.
I think the nests all depend on the betta itself. Arakasi, my other betta, would build a bit of a nest when I first changed his water, but it would fall apart after a few days. Kabuki builds these huge nests that don't go away until I change the water and then he goes right back to building. That little green juvinile I had posted a pic of in an earlier thread never really did get around to any nest building, and then he died.
Question: Has anyone else ever had a problem with blood worms and fin rot? It seems every time I try and feed those worms, I spend the next two weeks battling rot...so I quit feeding the blood worms and no rot in sight.

Are you feeding freeze-dried or live? I only feed freeze dried foods(with the exception on rosy reds, crickets and the occasional glass shrimp) because live foods have a high chance of carrieing diseases and unhealthy bacteria. Freeze drying the shrimp eliminates most of the bacteria, I've been told.
I wish I had a betta! We have a 75 with two cichlids we have been trying to get rid of forever! I hate cleaning he thing out and still feel bad everytime we have to feed them goldfish 
I used to try to rescue the cute ones in my little tank but it got overrun. I had a betta that lived a long time when I was younger but I got one a couple years ago and it only lasted a few days so I gave up.
