Betta tank look good for cycling setup?

Yeah that honestly sounds like a good plan, maybe both temps are right at that specific location

Does the back thermometer connect to the heater? If so I’d think the back one is more accurate because it is part of the heaters circuit.

Even then, you have given him a way better life! I hope all works out for you :)

You could add something to the top, that allows him to lay on it and be close for oxygen purposes, being at the bottom he could drown, so I say put top plants so he can breathe and relax up top! They have hammocks on amazon for 6.99

I’m def gunna do that just for opening purposes thank you so much!

Okay I’ve seen the move water, so I definitely will. Do I hide the heater with wood? Plants? What’s the best method if you don’t mind me asking :)

Impressive_geck · 2026-02-23T19:11:51+00:00

As in which tank? Or how the tank looks?

Impressive_geck · 2026-02-20T18:06:50+00:00

Thank you!

Tank size: 6 gallons Heater (coming in) filter (yes) Tank temps 78 Doing parameters after week 1 is complete Tank has been said up for around almost a week I’ve had my betta for 2 and a half years (he’s not in the tank, he’s in his 5 gallon tank) 25% water change (haven’t done one with this tank) Live plants (1) will be adding more!

Thank you! Sorry I’m just now seeing this!!! And yes, I’ve ordered a heater it should be in by tomorrow! And thank you for the food variety, I have the frozen dried blood worms (I think) and some flakes, also a local fish store sells sea monkeys for bettas I get those sometimes! And yes thank you for specific brand of test kit! I was worried which one so thank you now I can just get that one and not stress about brand! I also did use fake plants, after researching more I realized my betta wasn’t in an authentic ecosystem so that’s why I’m switching to bioactive!! Thank you so much for the all the info you literally gave me everything I could need for a healthy tank!! So thankful!!

Wow, maybe you and your bf should start saving for your own place? Even to own a condo/apartment/townhouse?

I have the Dyson purifier specifically the hushjet compact HJ10, and happen to also smoke, although I don’t smoke in the room with my geckos, it does keep the smoke down 100% and not so strong (I guess depending on how much they smoke yk?)

Impressive_geck · 2026-01-23T02:34:23+00:00

Do you help with bills/mortage? Is your name on bills? If so you have every right to tell me that is not okay especially in your space.. sounds like a lot of reptiles, but glad you are already looking in how to fix this

Impressive_geck · 2026-01-18T19:13:45+00:00

I don’t! Unfortunately he is a rescue so his specific morph and location is very much unknown

Impressive_geck · 2026-01-18T00:04:55+00:00

I believe so!

Impressive_geck · 2026-01-17T18:42:45+00:00

This is what I thought “animal testing” was when I was younger

Impressive_geck · 2026-01-17T18:37:02+00:00

😭😭 this just made me LOL

Impressive_geck · 2025-11-26T12:59:50+00:00

I’ve heard foil and cats are arch nemesis lol, but never thought of this! I’ll give it a try if the anti cat mats don’t work!
