they are both glass bowl..plain...have glass marbles in each...that is it. They are both in rooms on the same side of the house in fairlycomparable locations. I always wash the bowls and the marbles for both and use tap water that has sat out in a pitcher declorinating.

Hmmmmm...intersting

Have ya tried swapping the fish into the other fishes bowl....if the same fish stuffs up the bowl thats usually clean then he just may produce more crap and body slime than the other....If the fish that is normally in the clean bowl finds himself floating in fish spoo *LOL*...then its something in that bowl

Dont be tempted to clean the bowls completely too often....just take half the water out and replace it.....everytime you completely empty it you stress the fish and you'll end up with a microbe explosion

Besides the Betta is an airbreather....so he is able to survive in a bit dirtier water than other non labyrinth fish

Clean them both at the same time and switch locations. That can eliminate one possibility.


If consistent-
Clean them both at the same time and switch only the fish. This should determine if it's nature or nurture. ;)

One kid may feed more that the other. And the extra food may be what is dirting the bowl. :fish:

I used to breed betas
