Getting Ready

Yesterday I stopped at walmart and petco to go pick up the things I need for my fish. I got everything besides the heater at walmart because they did not have the small size I needed. I bought a 5 gal. tank(filter came with), water conditioner(made tap water safe for my betta), gravel, heater(petco), silk plants, freeze dried blood worms, and a net. The filter is a little strong but I adjusted it so that the flow isn't too strong. If you were wondering what the stringy looking stuff was it was just the filter dumping water. You can see in the back the heater. I bought 3 silk plants so they would be soft on his scales but I am planning on buying lots more plants for the tank.

Hello!

I am very exited to be getting a new Betta and being able to take care and pamper it! I will be posting from beginning to end of my time with this Betta. I am committed to making this fish as home as possible! This can also be helpful for you people new to Bettas so you can learn from my accomplishments and failures. I hope it will help you to better understand Bettas. And maybe in the future I will start breeding! I added some websites I found very helpful in teaching me how my Betta should be cared for.
