A large grain sand :) and dang -- the internet has way too much contradicting information, haha! I read 4 as a minimum [emoji14] The tank is currently about... I'd say 70% planted, and will certainly be getting more plants and decor before I add anything else for the sake of my girls, so I...

Ok so, I've got 5 female betta in a 15g( 25" long, 10" deep, and 12" tall) planted tank, and I'm about to transfer my one male to a 10g(15" long and 10" deep and tall), also planted, tank... For the females I'm definitely hoping to get some mates, but I since my male is getting the bigger tank...

Alright, here we go... The large tank is 25" long, 10" deep, and 12" tall. The small tank is 8" long and deep, and 10" tall. I'm definitely doing two planted tanks, and currently have the small one running with just water and a filter to see if it still works properly, because as it turned out...

Sweet :D I can't wait for the new year, as soon as I get my paycheck I'm setting my tank up, haha. Will post pictures and updates :) Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

That's the plan :) And a 50% water change once a week? I think I used to do 20% twice a week, but I remember now... Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Alrighty then... good to know :) thank you for your help! Is there anything else I should be mindful of going into this? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

It isn't the Api liquid test, due to it being a European test--but the equivalent of :) and not surprising we have hard water, pretty universal here So I won't need to buy the ammonia or the test for ammonia(because I don't have it yet, didn't have it in stock)? And in that case how long will...

That's the number of drops added 5ml of water to make it change color And I was at the pet store today and they had gorgeous bettas--all of them looked on the verge of dying. :( However they do have a few nice live plants and other recourses, so in that area I'll have more luck. However I have...

Ph - 7,4 Gh - 22? I think I did it correctly xD Kh - 10? I've never done these tests before x.x Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Oooo, so pretty!! [emoji7] Are that many live plants high maintenance though? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

It's probably close to that, yeah... And I'm more of a fan of male bettas, which is awful I know xD I could potentially set up the bigger tank that way though, and take the smaller one I have and house my male there, hmm... And I'm on mobile, and can't see signatures it would seem :( Sent from...

I was potentially considering some cories with the betta, especially since one pet store I was looking at sometimes keeps a betta with them, and they're all clearly acclimatized to each other and don't mind, but I dunno... At what point should I add plants to a tank, if they're live plants? I...

I should add -- as of yet my tank is in another city and I don't remember the dimensions, and actually everything is and I haven't got anything on hand just yet... so any additional questions I'm gonna be pretty useless until after the holidays, once I get my stuff from my parents. :)

Ok, so when I was a teen I had three bettas (all at separate times, no worries :p) who I loved dearly, but, uh, wasn't the best owner for and they all died at my hands eventually... looking back it's amazing how much they actually survived. Now as an adult, I plan on setting up my aquarium...
