Hey friends! I thought I would make a little video showing off the aquarium tank I've been setting up so that I can bring home a betta and some snail friends to join Yuan and I in the apartment. :) It's a ten gallon tank - best advice is you want at least 5 gallons for a betta, but 10 is even better, especially if you want to give them tank mates (don't put them in little bowls!). I'm thinking I am going to go with Nerite snails for their tank mates. I'm also loosely contemplating a small number of tetras, as a lot of people say they make good tank mates for bettas too, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Maybe in the future. :)
I forgot to show you when I was showing all my gear that yes, I do have a gravel vacuum for water changes and cleaning. I've done three water changes during this cycling time so far, mostly because of the sitnky smell that I think is mostly due to the Amazon Sword plant melting (rotting plant bits in water would be smelly). But I think it's done melting and so hopefully will recover.
Thanks for checking out my fish tank as I work to get it ready for them. It makes me happy. :)
