My 5 Gal Betta Tank

[biscuitbetta]

Hello!

My partner recently surprised me with a new tank that he picked up super cheap on Facebook Marketplace and I've decided that I am going to house a male Betta splendens in it. I'm super excited to get it set up for my new fishy friend and I'm looking forward to keeping a journal of my journey. I hope that you will stick around and watch me fall in love with fish-keeping all over again

Absolutely, I found it difficult to leave all the gorgeous bettas I kept seeing in my LFS but I'm super glad I waited
