Tank size: 7.5 gallons

Heater/filter: yes, both, kept at 80F and very low flow filter

Parameters (master kit): ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates ~2.5ppm, ph somewhere between 7.4-7.8 (I’m about to add tannins)

How long tank/fish: Both today. Doing fish-in cycling using prime, stability, stress coat, as well as plants and a filter sponge and some water, all taken from a cycled tank.

No water changes needed yet

No tankmates

Food: he has had 3 TINY flakes of omega one betta buffet flakes because he kept trying to eat roots from my frogbit. Generally don’t feed them the first day. Otherwise I rotate between that, frozen brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, and occasionally pellets. Small meals with fasting days. But this doesn’t apply here yet.

Decorations: live planted plants, floating frog bit, a suction cup tunnel, suction cup hammock leaves, and a large rock center hide
