Hey there
Archie's doing great, the greedy little pig he is, and has even started to take food from my fingers! - and he's crazy on making those bubblenests! - anyways!
I've had Archie a couple of months now, and he's done great in the 10 Gallon tank makeshift tank that I set up for him, but it kinda looks untidy and doesn't do Archie justice so got him a real cool looking tank which I will post photos of once I change him over.
I don't use filteration, I just water 50% changes every other day, I'm going to make his transfer from his old tank to his new tank the same as his water changes keep 50% of the old water and put it in his new tank.
My big question is, how do bettas do well in a tank without subtrate? I feel that this would make cleaning out all the poop and heaven forbid if there is any - old food. - the only slight problem that I can see, is that Archie's fav spot for chillin is his broad leaf plant leaf - and of course adding other real plants in there.
Any ideas? Isn't there some real plants that can live on bog wood? I'm sure I've read something about that in the forums at some time.
Cheers,
Lee.
