Glad to hear it's alright.

nah, i usually feed him every 4 days... just a sliver of brine shrimp, not much at all... but just incase i will throw that cube out and move on to a new cube...

also... i am going to do some more frequent water changes...

water changes may kill him. take it easy with that, let the water sit for a day or two before putting it into the tank at the very least. how often were you changing water before?

That's because most people that have bettas keep them in these tiny little tanks and most likely they don't have room to move even if they wanted to. Try putting one in a 100G tank and most likely it'll swim around like mad :D
