Apologies for the crummy video quality<\3
This is my special son Persil. I recently moved him into a 20g with a pack of corydoras, and I learned that he loves algae wafers. The moment I bring them out, he dives for them. He'll steal them from the corys like a schoolyard bully then proceed to violently murder them. I have never had so much confidence in my betta's ability to murder as I do when I watch him draw the blood of the algae wafers. He hates them. He yearns for them. He lurks, waiting for them. He's having SO much fun, and he's not trying to eat them, but I'm worried he will and he'll make himself sick ;-; Thoughts anyone?
Tank notes: 20g, fully cycled, just not fully grown in yet, the moss is new that's why it isn't perky. Unfortunately this is a blackwater tank for now, but all tenants are very happy :> he loves his Cory friends and I have no fear with them together.

My old betta was the same, bettas are obligate carnivores so it may not be a good idea to let him eat algae wafers
I love how into those he is!Ā
My female crowntail does this with crab cuisine lol

His greed sickens me.
