Hey!

Hey everyone!

I'm a complete fish noob and have just started working for Arcadia. They’ve given me one of their 20l Arc Tanks which comes with a 9 Watt lamp and 5 Watt filter and I’m looking into setting it up!

The information on here is really amazing, thanks so much for being so informative! I’m thinking about keeping a singular Betta in it because the tank is so small, do you think that’d be ok?

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello because I’m sure I’ll be on here a lot! I’m so excited to start keeping fish, if you have any advice please send it my way!

Thanks, I'll make sure I read all the info on it so I do it right! The last thing I want to do is hurt my fish!

Welcome to the forum! A betta would be perfect for you tank. Have you considerd shrimp? Some bettas will eat them, some wont. You can try Ghost shrimp at first, because they are very cool.

Thank you! I really wanted to have shrimp in there too, but was worried they'd get eaten. It's great to know it's possible for them to live with ghost shrimp peacefully. I'll definitely try them once I've set up my tank, the more I find out about keeping fish the more exciting it gets!
