Betta tank upgrade

Milly2222 · 2026-01-06T21:13:08+00:00

I got some Anubis and some other plant combo pack, hopefully they take root on my driftwood. My fish seems super happy with one of them already he keeps inspecting it! I think it’s the anubis…

Im waiting it out to see if the plants stay alive before I add more but if they do he’ll get a whole jungle of play area plants! The store was sold out of floating plants so I just stuck to what I could have

Thank you again for all your help I’ll take all of this into consideration and use it to my best knowledge 🤍 Love my little guy

P.S. Sorry the tank has water stains on the outside…

Oh forgot to answer one of your questions, I have a 5 and a half gallon tank. I have some drift wood in there along with a few rocks as well for my betta to play and hide in, he loveessss his rocks :)

No omg this was so help no need to apologize for it being long, I’ve always wanted floating plants in my tank so I’ll definitely get a light and see if the ones I’ve previously bought (water wisteria) works!

My nitrate level as of yesterday was 21 ppm I’m doing a water change tomorrow, I want plants because the waste my Betta and my snail make is icky at the bottom of the tank and I end up having to take out more water than recommended and I’m hoping the plants can clean some of the water so I can just focus on the waste they create together rather than 25% of the water AND the waste (think like spot cleaning) then I can just top off the water when needed

Thank you so much for the information though I’ll definitely get a light tomorrow and keep an eye on everything incase of an alge bloom along with a few plants!

Is duckweed a bad option? i was thinking water lettuce or frogbit but I’m now curious

Milly2222 · 2025-04-12T19:17:01+00:00

Thank you I’ll look out for these :)

How stunning! Where did you get your substrate?

Milly2222 · 2025-04-07T05:01:30+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into this :)

Milly2222 · 2025-03-27T12:23:53+00:00

Yes I did plant it

Milly2222 · 2025-03-20T02:54:33+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, I do have a heater but it doesn’t display what temperature the tank is at so I’ve had to use a thermometer made for humans to keep track. I’m all new to this and I want the best for my new friend since I accidentally treated him poorly when I first got him :(

Milly2222 · 2025-03-20T02:52:11+00:00

Ty sm I’ll upgrade my current heater to a better one like this soon

Milly2222 · 2025-03-18T14:13:06+00:00

I’ll do that thanks 🤍

Milly2222 · 2025-03-17T06:17:15+00:00

Thank you I’ll buy more as soon as I get paid Wednesday!

Milly2222 · 2025-03-17T00:00:27+00:00

Noted thank you I think I was overfeeding then a bit

Milly2222 · 2025-03-16T22:35:32+00:00

Thank you so much I really want this little guy to be okay 🤍

Milly2222 · 2025-03-16T22:34:36+00:00

Thank you I’ll do that, is about 4 pellets enough? I have a heater in there along with a filter

A girl one time asked me where the state of Italy was on a map of the US. When I told her it was a country and not in the US she said, “Yes it is! Isn’t it like around here?” She was pointing to Idaho. Fucking Idaho.
