My 5 Gal Betta Tank

Here are some photos (finally!) that I took earlier today so I could enter TOTM! I rearranged the tank as I wasn't liking how I had it originally. I've also added a few betta hammocks and a Zoomed Floating Betta Log.

I've actually added a few amano shrimp and a nerite snail since my last update. The betta ignores them completely and they've been doing a great job at cleaning up any leftover fish food and algae!

I'm not liking the filter that I've got in there as it's a bit too strong for the betta so I'm hoping to get out to my LFS this weekend to buy a sponge filter (and hopefully grab some tall plants for the back of the tank!).

Oh! I also discovered that my tank is a 6.5gal not a 5gal

Another update for you all!

Last weekend my hubby took me to our LFS to get a new filter. We picked up a small sponge filter and a Sera Air 110 Plus air pump.



For the first couple of nights, I had it running alongside the original Ciano filter, now it's running on its own with the Ciano's filter sponge next to it.



My betta is a LOT happier with the flow not being so crazy and has been exploring his tank a lot more! I've also noticed his colouration has changed slightly, he's still looking stunning though!



I've added a background to the tank as well. It's just a cheap piece of black card that I picked up from my local Range!

My next project is going to be getting some more plants for around the back and sides of the tank. I also want to fix my two anubias plants to the wood and skull as they're currently in the pot they came in still

We finally got around to getting some more plants yesterday! I absolutely love how this tank is turning out.
