I got a new "tank"...

[FlareBettaGuy]

I got one of those plastic containers that you're supposed to keep bugs in. It has a snap-on cap with holes in it, so no more reaching deep inside a bowl's small opening to get the rotten food and dirty stuff out anymore! I'm not sure which is bigger: my bowl I used in the past, or the new bug container I got, but it should do, I guess. I'm still waiting for the water to age before I put my new betta in. I felt a lotta pity for the little guy, so instead of keeping him in the cup for the few days while i'm waiting for the water to age, i'm keeping him in a smaller, yet a lot bigger than the cup, container. It's like a cylinder, and he even made a little bubblenest. Well, DUH, right? After all, it's so much bigger than the cup! But just wait till he sees his new container! It's got a hidey hole, plants, his castle, and gravel! The container he is in right now only has the castle and gravel. If he's happy now, he'll be super super happy when he gets into his new container...he'll be all like...um.....like this!

aaaaww, sounds like your taking good care of him

congrats on your new boy, may he bring you joy for quite a long time


one more thing, for around a buck you can buy a turkey baster and use it to suck out the leftovers and nasties, it's a lot easier than a net or anything else you could use. The baster an empty cup and a full cup of clean water will be great for itty bitty water changes a few times a week during the first few weeks while his tank cycles
