Yeah, and the live plants should help regulate the ammonia, but I let it sit for a week empty save for sprinkling in some food anyway. Water test was clear this morning so I figured we were good. His colors were already pretty delightful in the store. His tail fin looks a little beat up, but nothing time and good water conditions can't fix.Originally Posted by Spoons
YES! Thank you for NOT sticking him in a little glass bowl with cold water. Betas THRIVE in heated tanks that are a bit larger (and warmer!) - the colors will just pop. Here is to hoping he does well and flourishes!With just one fish in a 5 gal you should be able to get away with not cycling the tank before putting the fish in, so you should be good to go
