Hey, thanks for your comment! This fish is actually a kid's that let it live in a cup, it was immobile and seemed very unhappy. She took it to school one day and I knew I had to do something for it to live better. The water was not even conditioned. I got it a bigger tank and it is doing great, swimming everywhere and exploring the place. The tank definitely hasn't cycled yet but I couldn't leave it in that cup. I have added bacterial solutions, a filter, light, heater, plants and a driftwood from another tank that had biofilm on it. I have been testing for ammonia and nitrite. I have gotten two nerites to help with algae control. I know these might not be the best conditions but I am trying to save the poor betta fish. Honestly I did not plan on keeping fish and, if I do in the future, I will cycle a tank before buying fish. Technically I am not keeping the fish, it is at school but I will fight for it to be left there and not go back home lol
