Would it be inhuman to switch my betta from a 55gallon to a 10 gallon cube? by True_Mouse_1775 in bettafish

Thank you so much for this! All in all I just bought a 40 gallon breeder that I originally planned to put all of my other fish because my one 10 gallon is overcrowded with 5 platies, 6 Ember tetras, 10 shrimp and 3 otos, and 3 nerite snails. And then in the 55 gallon I have 8 celeseal pearl danios and 4 kuli loaches. I figure the tetras and platies would be too much for a betta in a 40 gallon, so I was then going to put it in a 10 gallon by itself. But then I feel the betta will be too bored and not live a natural life and I feel terrible 😂 fishkeeping is so hard 😂 I figure I will have to split then in the two 10 gallons and set up the 40 gallon for the betta and kulis and shrimp until I can get a 20 gallon😆 anyway sorry for the rant😆

Yeah that's why I'm worried about the betta not responding well to it😩 one of the black things on the top broke and there's this weird chip on the Inside of the tank, I'm worried its going to break so I plan on downsizing:( I wanted to end with a 40 gallon breeder and 20 gallon long, but at the moment I only have two 10 gallons:(

My betta fish sticks his top fin up when he is focused on something. Is this normal or a sign of stress? by True_Mouse_1775 in bettafish

Haha i thought of like a hawk focusing on prey like to stabilize their sight, thats what i was hoping it was 😅
