BEWARE: Graffic content for Betta Lovers...
I thought I’d be 💯 honest and share the terrible Mistakes I made when I initially didn’t plan ahead on purchasing on fish (now Family member).
1. July 8th 2020 - Terribly tiny vase (he lived 2 days in the fist pic)
2. July 11th 2020 - Bigger, but too small vase with no heat(it was the summer thankfully) or filtration... and I thought I could use a piece of coral to decorate 😱... I very soon after realized what it did to the PH. (He lived less than a day with the coral in the Vase)
3. July 12th 2020 - I removed some sand and provided him with a hidey hole. I really started to read up on bettas and tanks, I was doing very frequent water changes while adding a dechlorinator at this point.
4. Oct 24th 2020 - I’d finally worked up the courage to purchase a tank with a heater and filtration. I had added a tiny heater to his Vase back in September but knew things needed to change.
5. Feb 22nd 2021 - I began experimenting with real plants in a 3Gallon (Project I).
March 2021 - Phish (my betta) moved back into his established (tested water) planted tank.
I am lucky that my Betta has survived all my poor decisions...
