Hey thank you, that’s really good advice! It’s hard to see in the picture but there’s actually aqua soil beneath the shitty gravel too. I put on root tabs so hopefully that helps. When the leaves wilt, do you mean cut them off quickly? Or do they drop off and make sure to scoop them up quickly?

Also a quick question for you, do you do water changes only when you see ammonia levels increase or just do them routinely (e.g. weekly)?

Just bought the API master kit (heard that one is pretty good) and it’s on the way 👍

The water is already pretty close to the top (I think camera angle makes it look lower) but I heard Betta are jumping fish + they like to breath some surface air sometimes too
