So I saw a betta at a local place and fell in love. Problem is I don't really have a place prepared for it. I do have a 10 gallon tank I've been prepping for a betta. And it does have salvinia minima. So I added some ammonia to see if it can process it to 0 ammonia and nitrates in a day. If it does, great. I'll go get that betta if she's still there and keep her in there as I scape this tank. But what if it doesn't process the ammonia? I was thinking that maybe I could by a small tank like a 1 gallon as a temporary home. Add some fast growing floating plants and give it a complete water change every day until its permanent home would be ready.
Keeping in mind this is for a desire on my part and not an emergency on the fish's. So I'm willing to not be selfish if it puts the fish at risk. have to wonder if this is a viable plan. I certainly don't want to do a fish in cycle. Is there another way?
