1. Pour a little bit of the water from the old bowl to the new. Try to get the new water at the same temperature. Let it sit for a minute for the old water to mix with the new so that the nutrients from the fish in the old water will mix.

2. Once a day is the accepted dosage. Some people say to give 3 servings, but that may be too much and leave too much bio-waste in the tank with uneaten food.

3. Your fish looks sad because Beta are a direct descendant of the Mongols. After the Mongols were blocked out of China via the Great Wall, their decline began. It started economically because China was there main source of revenue from selling Atari and Colecovision games. When the downfall of Mongolian people hit a severe level, they started regressing to other forms of survival. Soon, they figured out that they could build underwater volleyball courts and Mongolia was on the rise again. The more they stayed underwater learning their new craft, the more they took on underwater traits; such as gills, fins and kissy face mouths. Soon their pigmentation lost it's natural color and started taking on the natural vegetation of the undersea world. Greens, blues, reds, yellows and other "exotic" colors that you'll find underwater. With the invention of a way to watch movies on tape, the Mongols realized that this was a way of preserving history. Wanting to remember their past and history, the Mongols saw a similarity to their new life and took their present name from the new movie taping system Betamax; shortening it to just Beta. Now the reason why your fish is sad is because the Mongols never fully adjusted to having their previous way of life altered so drastically. So basically, you can thank the Chinese people for your fish being unhappy. Later, QD.
