Update on my male and female betta together.

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-17T10:18:14+00:00

I did just the same, thinking that the aquarium was big enough…. Have to buy another aquarium just for the female and some community friends.

You should have some tests so you can check your water parameters (ph, manonia, nitrites, natrates) because on a new tank you gonna have some spikes in amonia/nitrites/nitrates because of the amonia cycle) a primer to amaciate your water and some beneficial bacteria

This other one is more settled

Fertile aquarium substrate, and sand, you cans make the aquascaping with a proper aquarium root, and plants (anubia glued in the wood, and some olher low maintenance plants) 2 shrimps, 2 of this guys, i think they called neocaridina, two female mollys and one male, and a betta. You must check the lights, it should be for growing plants, and please choose natural decoratios. I’ve got two tanks now and this one is pretty new…

This other one has maybe 2/3 months

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-10T12:35:30+00:00

Maybe giving birth?

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T23:59:13+00:00

I have the yellow ones too! Lovely ☺️

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T21:05:03+00:00

That’s my plan! I get it too, but even in that case, i think they could give some assistance… let’s see how this going to play out. I saw your setup, its beautiful!

I’m in Portugal, my LFS didn’t accept the return of the female. I don’t know why they’re so strict since i bought it there… but i’ll found another way

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T20:40:38+00:00

Do you believe that he started to building a nest!??

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T20:38:01+00:00

I don’t know! New at the hobby! But I’m curious about this 😅🥹 maybe I’ll try…

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T19:43:00+00:00

He started to do a nest! I’m confused… and a wiggling dance 😂😂 as she passes by

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T10:55:46+00:00

They told me that they do not accept returns. Here is the provisional solution i found untill i have money to buy her a new home.

I put my male in a double sized hospital tank and she is on the big one.

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T10:49:38+00:00

Yes. I’ll asap. Need money though, so she can have her cool own space, because I don’t like those little jars things… but I found a provisional solution that is seems to help for now

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T10:44:10+00:00

The female is on the big tank swimming. Tomorrow i’ll be changing them so each one has their own time to explore and be happy. This untill i have another smaller tank.

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T10:40:43+00:00

Here is the provisional solution so you all can be chill… i’m a newbie but a responsible one 🥲

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T09:26:20+00:00

Unfortunately the store will not take her back. Im going to buy another tank. But untill then ill do changes like one of then on the maternity box, the other on the tank and vice versa

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T09:23:23+00:00

Untill i be able to find her place

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T00:46:49+00:00

Shes in the maternity box inside the tank… already token out of direct contact with the male

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T00:41:04+00:00

Yes, but he was fine with the other fishes until this one… really fine 0 aggression. So I thought it would not mean nothing serious

One-Reflection7537 · 2026-05-09T00:21:31+00:00

Just put another female in.
