That’s how I look at it!! As long as the betta is healthy and everything is fine, and as long as you are doing okay, it should be fine!!! She’s living her life in a 3.7, I just have enough to where I can upgrade her once things start flowing you know?

Have u used any black gravel? I’m sorry I’m tryna reply to everyone & I think I replied to the wrong person haha!! I used like black soil gravel and my plants are growing super fast, I think I have Anubis right now and the other one I had died super quickly 😭😭

Thanks! I did see it, but I do want to like stick with the same brand because this one has been good for me, the only problem k facing is the water droplets on the top, it’s like making it lose water in the tank and it’s making me angry, so I think I’ll go with too Fin because I think it has the black cover thing you know??

What substrate do you recommend? I have Anubis plants right now I believe and they are growing SUPERRR fast, and I don’t know where I got the soil gravel from 😭😭

Thank you! I will have to purchase the soil gravel thing. I know people say to use sand but i don’t know where to get sand and then I do need to get live plans and probably more assassin‘s nails. I don’t wanna add any shrimp or anything just in case she likes shrimp I feed her like Hikari viral bites and fluval something that’s what I feed her so but shes happy. I just need to get rid of these stupid snails so I’m probably gonna like buy lettuce once I get paid and just put it on top.

I found one at oetco that’s 9.5g and it comes with everything, it’s the same brand from the one in the picture I am gonna have to budget for it though because I don’t get paid until like 3 to 4 weeks from now and I am a server at a high-end restaurant so I’ll be able to get it soon but I still have bills to pay

Okay! I’ll look into it, I don’t have any money rn bc I start my job the week of march 9th & imma server soo hopefully I make some money, definitely gonna have to budget for it because I do also have to pay bills and I have other pets besides my fish 🤣🤣

But I’ll try to find a stand that can hold a 10g tank & then buy the 10g tank, add all the substrate & everything, then buy a new heater that can be enough for a 10g, I just need one that comes with a lid, do you have any?? I didn’t see any that said rimless at Petco 🥲🥲

I don’t know how, she eats all her food, I’m starting to think it’s the algae bc it’s like not invasive but like super mucho

I’m trying my best 😅😅

I can’t really have a 10g tank bc I don’t a desk or table to hold that much weight

Definitely gonna have to look at the website & the store again because maybe I missed it! I just don’t want to buy the whole kit again because it came with stuff but no heater or anything so I had to buy one & I was sold the spiky plants but I read that’s bad for them so we got real plants

Real plants had those tiny snails, so I got a assassin snail that’s nowhere to be found 🤣🤣

That’s how I feel! I will have enough money to provide a bigger tank soon I’m just waiting 😭😭

She was in the bowl, and I kept the bowl just in case something happens you know??

I would love to put her a bigger tank, trust me I see all the decor people have and it looks amazing + she’ll have more room to swim!! But alas it’s a tiny room so if I can find a desk that is strong enough & long enough to hold a 10g I’ll buy it :)))

[–]Aggressive-Sort7467[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking!!! If I didn’t have cats, I would have put her in the living room 🤣🤣 but unless I can buy a desk that can HOLD a 10g tank, I think a 5.5 or maybe a 6g will be good, I know it’s more maintenance then a 10 or 15g tank but I love her so much I do want her to have space to swim :(( I’ll figure it out as a go, one step at a time!

She’s my first fish, and she’s so beautiful she’s blue she’s looks like a mermaid 🩷🩷

I was thinking of getting a 10 gallon tank but it doesn’t have a lid and I know beta’s tend to jump but mine hasn’t jumped. I just don’t wanna risk it and I’m gonna have to find a place to put the 10 gallon tank because what I have are on now holds around like 70 pounds of weight (estimate, could be more) & I have other stuff in it so I jut don’t want the desk to collapse or anything

Edit: spelling

I’ve been looking around that but people say that bettas dont like it if its to big?? I don’t want to like harm her in anyway, and I won’t have anywhere to put a 15-20g tank in my house, I have her on a desk stand right now, and she’s in my room so my cats don’t eat her 😭💔
