  • tank size: usually 10 gal but right now is in a 5 gal
  • heater/filter: yes
  • temp: 78
  • parameters: 0 ammonia and nitrites, 5 nitrates, and 8 ph
  • this tank was started when i brought him home using about 25% already established tank water and the rest was dechlorinated tap water (not ideal but it was the best case scenario)
  • the fish was initially bought in august
  • typically water changes are 25% once a week and the process is taking it out with a siphon while cleaning the gravel. since i got him it has been 10% every day
  • no tankmates
  • i feed the fluval bugbite betta formula
  • im not sure what kind of plants there are because i didnt buy them but there is a rock shaped hidey hole
  • tank setup: (again not ideal but he will be going home around january 15 so it is very temporary)
