So i decided on gettin a small tank instead of dividing my existing one

got a fluval 1 internal and a water heater

got a ornament n plant for him too

im puttin him in here in an hour or so

dont worry ive got mature media in the new filter, plus baktinettes so water is all good for him

good job ive got this now, its like world war 3 in my tank!!

the pump is a little fast flowing considering its small but he'll get used to it

15 liters approx 4 gallons

looks very nice for him, have u removed the white sponge stuff from in the plant basket?

 

[dusky]

Oh it looks lovely, glad your keeping him

 

[Phoenixbaby]

not yet no lol

ty guys im chuffed he seems to like it

 

[liz2]

I should think he will like it...spoilt boy. Let me know how he gets on with the filter I have never had a betta that likes them...

 

[Phoenixbaby]

well hes been in my 35litre with an external fluval 105 running, which is at a nice flow and he was ok with that

so hopefully hes ok with the internal fluval 1 i have running

if not i'll just take it out

should i put anything else (plant or ornament) with him

Good for you Phoenix! I'm so glad you get to keep him.
If the filter is too strong for him, you can try positioning the nozzle so it hits the back of the tank. Failing that, just use an ornament placed in front of the filter to help stem the flow.

 

[Phoenixbaby]

ive positioned it so it hits the heater, seems to have slowed it a little

hes still asleep on his plant, lazy sod lol

 

[Phoenixbaby]

is there anything else i should add to his tank?

 

[JellyPi3]

some gravel might do the trick if you wanted, i find it always adds a little colour and depth to a tank

 

[fourthtimelucky]

Looks very cosy!

I have a fluval 1 running in my betta tank, if you are worried about the flow you can slice up a small water bottle and slot that over the outflow quite easily. Melt the edges with a lighter just in case of any sharp bits.

I agree with JellyP13, gravel would make it look a bit prettier and he might feel a bit more relaxed.

 

[Phoenixbaby]

because the filter is small and the tank is too, its going to get dirtier quicker, hence y ive not put gravel in

but if u guys think i should then i'll add some black sand
