My 10g planted and Betta decor setup

PrincessBurundy · 05-12-2011, 02:25 AM

aww that are not nice news... I hope i washed as much as possible out of the sand and wood, it all was laying in buckets with water for a week or two, with water change of course.

upd.
Made little research - salt is actually good for betta and for Notobranchius too, so nothing to worry about.

Plants started to grow and one even put out a flower, i guess its all good!

little updates.

Tanks are doing good, had little issue with green-blue algae, but little antibiotics helped.

Sad news from post office - customs didnt let my plants from Aquatic Magic to come through

( They destroyed the package and sent me a letter... buttheads

I'd be all up in their grill if they did that to my package LOL.

I just thought I'd chime in that just because a betta can be kept in a bowl, doesn't mean they should be kept in a small bowl. I hope you don't have a betta in that tiny looking round bowl that looks like it barely holds 1 cup of water (unless the picture is extremely deceiving, it doesn't look any better than what they are kept in at the pet stores).

I agree with others, if space is extremely limited, a betta can do ok in a 1g minimum container, though even in that i'd put at minimum a small air-powered filter (like this) but if space allows, Bettas are much happier and more active in 2.5, or even better 5g tanks. Even those are hard to keep good water parameters in (I have a 5g, so I know). You'll be amazed at how much more lively, energetic and fun bettas are when they are happy and have room to move around

I dont know why it happened, im really pissed off but too far unfortunately to do something. AM says they will re-ship but im afrade same thing will happen. Probably they just dont allow plants to enter Dominican Republic....

So sad. Seems like my idea of nice moss tank is dieing
