Got the new tank to a presentable condition still feel like it has some room for improvement! We also have our new Betta Abraham Lincoln. Almost felt like a crime to not give him the American name he deserves with his red, white and blue colours.

Looks lovely! Beautiful betta 😍
 
The tank looks good and the only suggestion I would make would be for some floating vegetation.
Betta are hard-wired to be wary of predation from above, so floaters would provide some security and, even though you aren't breeding, he might even feel comfortable enough to blow a bubble nest.
 
Stick some water lettuce and/or water sprite in to float on the top. It’s great for water quality and to shade him from the light and worry of predators.
Will he fit into those plastic buildings?
 
It depends on the size of the holes in them. If they are larger than a betta or tiny, no problem; if they are just slightly smaller than a betta, they can get stuck.

Hello thank you for all the suggestions we have around 5 other betta tanks and I don’t usually use ornaments in their tanks as I like to keep things natural; however I have made sure there is enough space for the betta to get through with ease! (Had to take in to account he’s a chunky boy 😂)

I have moved some duckweed from one of the other tanks into this one! I have some of the suction cups arriving this afternoon just got back in from getting the plants for them. Just somewhere else for him to perch higher up with it being a taller tank ❤️

Nice and neat little set up :)

Betta has lovely colourations and fins, looks a nice healthy betta!

Liking the suction cup plant holder, adds a little something extra to the tank.

Keep up with the good work ;)
