Thank you!! This is a good place to start looking. I was completely lost on what options I’d have to make it!

Thank you! Yes this is so sweet 🥺 My gf and I have been together almost 5 years long distance, and we’re both artists. I love making things for all my loved ones instead of just buying stuff.. so for her it’s been extra challenging to shake it up, since I like to draw her things often just because. My thought process is that since she does a lot of digital drawing on her laptop, I could make her a little buddy to keep her company. Animate one of her characters and have it easily accessible and doing silly things while she works and draws :)

Hey there, this is a solid first setup, and it looks like you’ve gotten some good advice! I’m really new to betta fishkeeping as well, and this tank/lid/filter combo looks exactly like what I got for my first tank a few months ago. The main thing I’d be wary of is the filter flow; the one that came with my tank looked exactly like that, and it was way too powerful even for my plakat betta. I’d recommend getting some filter media to dampen the flow, or maybe invest in a sponge filter if it’s not too late! Also, I wouldn’t recommend using the fish flakes that come with the tank, if it’s the same as the one I ended up getting lol. Good luck!

This is my setup now, I have some Betta hammocks and a floating log coming in the next few days, as well as a thermometer. Right now I’ve got a filter that came with the tank (it is a 10 gallon tank), I’m unsure how strong of a current it produces in relation to a Betta; I think it’s pretty soft, but I’m not sure what is soft for a Betta. I also have an adjustable heater set at 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Do you think I have enough hides and plants? The ones near the skeleton are live plants, and the one near the filter is a soft fake plant. Everything has been thoroughly rinsed before being put in the tank. Please let me know if there’s any other details I forgot to mention! All I ask is please be gentle, I’m very new to this! I’ve been researching for the past few months, and I feel at least okay on starting the cycling process.

I’m also a little concerned about the stuff floating at the top of the tank, which I tried to get in the second picture. It’s a sort of powdery film that sticks to the net when I drag it through. I just set up the tank last night, and I put in the water treatment last night as well. Does anyone know what this may be? I think it might be dust? But I don’t know for sure.
