betta tank progress

before and after i tried making my tank natural. yes i know the fakeness is disgusting.

this was like a month ago i added more plants and yes ik there is a lot of algae in that picture.

now i replaced those tiny dead pieces of hornwort and the new pieces are doing way better and i destroyed the moss balls because they might have zebra mussels.

of course i will always be trying to improve the tank but that’s what it is for now.

Hello and to TFF,
The more plants, the less algae.
The more the plants, like a jungle including floating ones, the happier the Betta, the more he thrives. Alone.
That's the idea, isn't it? Make him a happy fish
If you can provide your BettaFella such an quarium, including pH7 - GH (hardness) and KH (alkalinity) below 8 using reverse osmosis water or distilled water to lower parameters (if needed).

When did you cycle the tank (that looks much more better in natural mode ) ?

You do well removing moss balls coz there aren't moss but algae. If they don't flourish, no problem. On the other hand it will invade your aquarium....

either i’m misunderstanding something (i tend to do that a lot) or i’m being dumb (i do that a lot too).

i’m not new to TFF….. ive been here longer than you in fact….

thank you for the information. i do want to get him floaters someday and i cycled the tank back in august last year. i also want to get him more plants. i’ll post a pic of his tank once i get back from vacation.

This is NOT hard at all. It's enough to give time to time. The more you are patient the better your aquarium will be. So does your fish.
