Ah Hah! 10g For Betta.

[soritan]

After much trial, tribulation, grinding of teeth, and swearing... my tank is finally cycled. I got myself some ghost shrimp today and am in the process of acclimating them to their new environment.

Which means... I can add one of my bettas now.

The current in there is fairly gentle with the intake silghty obstructed with some bogwood, and the air bubbler turned off. I may gangvalve the air bubbler later and turn it back on.

Aaaah, I hope the little bugger likes it. He better like it.

Do you think I should add him tonight or tomorrow after I'm sure the shrimp are settled in?

Congrads. I just came back from the LFS today and bought a 5gallon tank that I'm going to put the betta that I'm getting from WUV. So exciting. Well i'm not sure it would make a diffrence if you put the betta in tonight or tommorow. I would just put it in tonight...

Well, all of my readings are good, but I've had so much trouble with the tank while cycling it, I'm kinda paranoid about adding Furin to it. heh. A little paranoia is a good thing to have in this hobby, I believe.

ammonia and nitrites were at 0ppm, and i just finished a big water change to bring my nitrates down to 0ppm. my water is a tad cloudy, but it was far worse the last time i changed water a week ago. all my hydra are almost completely (if not completely) gone. i think my pond snails actually ate them. the only uninvited guests in the tank right now, are those little tiny worms that look like bits of threads whose name i can never remember, but fish happily call 'lunch'.

Should I wait for the clouding that resulted from my water change to settle before adding him?
