I was at Wal-Mart this morning getting dog food so I stopped to check out the bettas. One of them caught my eye because he was a beautiful bright red male with some green irridescent flecks. As I was standing there looking at him, he started building a bubble nest. He was in a tiny little cup that was only half-full of dirty water, and he was building a bubble nest! So I couldn't resist 
I'll post pics when he settles in.
For now, I just got him a small (3/4-1 gallon) vase, and added some clear stones to the bottom. I plan on getting a bigger tank for him but haven't found one that I like. He's still got ten times more swimming room than he did in that little cup though.
So............................I filled up the vase, added NovAqua and a couple crystals of aquarium salt. He's got a tiny little hole in his back fin, but other than that he is perfectly healthy. In fact he's munching on betta bio-gold right now. I've got melafix, pimafix and stress zyme, would any of these help with the hole in his fin? Also, I've never kept a betta in a vase before, how often should I change his water?
