gr8 mate........can u control flow speed on filter? :alien:

id put in plastic plants and rocks and bogwood

Cheers mate, can't change the flow on it, only thing i can think of is have it at the bottom of the tank where the betta will probably tend not to go.
I have added a few platic plants in and have wild ammounts of vallis in my 126Ltr so can move some of that if that's ok,
Will the vallis live without a heater because i haven't bought one for it yet.

I recommend that you read the pinned topics at the top of this forum. There is much valuable information there. I personally prefer silk plants as plastic plants can shred the fins. Caves or ornaments with tunnels for the fish to swim through are nice additions. My fish are all solitary to prevent any fighting with tankmates. Welcome to the addicting world of bettas :lol:

would reccomend getting heater quick.........as temp in day is higher than night and temp drop seems to start up white spot....this happened with me.........as for vallis unsure.....just wait til y get heater as here in england we need it :alien:

in my sisters tank she has a fluval1....very strong current....so we cut up a pair of tights and wrapped the feet bit over the top and it really calms down the flow to a major trickle :alien:

all my plants are £1 each for wilkinsons <in picture

I don't have the betta in it yet so the heater isnt really a problem at the moment, i also live in england, don't think my wilkinsons sells aquarium plants

Hiya Nelly's sister here lol
yes have a look in wilkinson's, the plants are in the pet section, it's only a small selection near the bird seeds but they sell a very soft artifcial fern which my female betta's love to sleep in/on!! Bless em.............

How big is the tank? Is the filter an undergravel filter, or a power filter?
