I have an Eclipse 3 setup with an appropriate heater. http://www.marineland.com/products/consumer/con_systems.asp It was pretty cheap ($30-something) and came with a tank, filter, hood, and light. So far so good, but buying a glass 2.5 gallon and filter, hood, heater on your own would...

Thanks! I'm definitely planning on some regular water changes. I'd love to get enough healthy bacteria going in the filter/ tank where I felt good that a weekly 25% - 50% water change would be healthy, but I'm pretty new at this so I'll keep testing and hope I do my betta right. When I first...

Very Cool - although there is no turning back now to pellets. :D It is probably the equivalent of eating 10-for-$1 ramen noodles in college everyday, and then trying a rib eye steak at a good restaurant one day. I tried frozen daphnia (sp?) the other day (well, I didn't try it), and my new...

I finally just tested the water, and I think everything looks ok. PH 7.5 - seemed a little higher than I was expecting Ammonia 0.25 mg/L Nitrite 0 mg/L Nitrate 10 mg/L Seem normal for day 5? BTW - is 7.5 PH high for typical tap water? I've read somewhere online that anything from 6 - 8 is ok...

I'm a rookie myself, so remember that while I offer one possibility :) I picked up an eclipe 3 for $30-something bucks, which is a 3 gallon tank with light and filter in it. http://www.marineland.com/products/consumer/con_systems.asp

I just found this on SeaChem's website, and the ingredients look good - not a lot of fillers. Anyone ever try it, and did your betta eat it right away? http://www.seachem.com/products/product_pa...ttaBanquet.html Thanks, Bob

"Dude, you rule. Thanks for getting me out of that S-hole walmart ashtray tank. How can I pay you back? Alright, I see that you like when I swim towards your finger - is that sufficient?"

That's cool - I thought I was going to have to get him some obnoxious fake floating lilly pad or something. Thanks :D Bob

I just moved our betta to a new tank with a filter, heater, live plants, hood, and he seems pretty pumped about it :flex: Since I have 2 plants in there, I guess I need to keep the light on for most of the day. Do bettas typically not mind the flourescent hood light? He seems happy, but I...

I've yet to move my betta to a 3 gallon eclipse tank, but will be soon. Any advice on an appropriate tank mate that could tidy the tank up a little, or is that all up to me? :D Any recommended snail or shrimp that would safely work? Also, will the filter current in an eclipse 3 tank annoy...
