Heres a picture of my pet crowntail betta Svyatoslav, or Borris. I was taking a Russian history class at my university and the name kept coming up and was fun to say,but he also goes by Boris for those who can't pronounce or remember Svyatoslav. I have had him for about 9 months now and he's just been getting used to the 10 gallon tank after living in the 1 gallon tank for up until about 2 months ago.
I've recently looked into getting a few tank mates, just a few shrimps and a couple of snails. It made me look into care and i recently found out this tank that's been running bio filter untouched for a year isn't cycled. So for now this is the transition into the nitrogen cycle and transition to a full natural planted tank.
Today i switched out the gravel for white desert style play sand.
Svyatoslav is currently in the 1 gallon tank he lived in previously until the tank settles and levels out. A lot of the cloud came out of the gravel, so I'm thinking the ammonia problem had that as part of it.
I went to plant my live plants as fast as i could so they wouldn't be too disturbed by the transition, so i scaped blindly and i guess we'll have to wait until the cloud settles to see how i did
