New 30L Betta Tank

[Mamashack]

Well I've been asked to show what I'm doing with my 30L set-up for a betta.
After 30 days of fishless cycling the tank is now ready for an occupant!
I've purchased this fella and he's a real beauty! Will be collecting him on Monday. Am a  bit concerned as he seems to be a dragon and Wildbetta foresees problems with his eyes. Thanks for the heads-up WB - I'll keep a very close watch on him!

I think he's gorgeous!
This is the tank he'll be going in - it's an Aqua One Startup 30L with an Interpet PF mini filter (will turn baffle to tank wall to reduce flow when he's about to go in) and a Deltatherm 25w heater. The red plant is silk but the green ones are live, anubia in front and java fern at the back. It might need something in the back right corner maybe a tall plant
 

Would be grateful for any comments and/or suggestions

He does look lovely, where did you find him?
 
Had to LOL at the professionalism of the video maker - totally visible in the reflection, recording it on his iPod!!!

 

[TallTree01]

VeRy nice! You thinking of naming him anything?
It looks like you have a mustache in the clip lol.

 

[Mamashack]

Got him from a guy in Leicester - RCA recommended him to me - I'll PM the details TLM
Yes it also sounds like he's got a petrol engine going in the background too! lol


hahaha TT that was the seller you saw!! rofl
 I won't be getting him til Monday!

 

[TallTree01]

lol. Whoops.

 

[Mamashack]

As for names - haven't thought yet - will see how he looks when I get him - might be along the dragon-lines tho - suggestions?


Eragon is a possibility

 

[TallTree01]

If you get an eragon you'll have to get a galbatorix.

If you get an eragon you'll have to get a galbatorix.

"Scorch"

One of the RAF camps I used to go to had a TVR that colour

TT I swear you must change your profile pic more often than your socks lol

 

[Mamashack]

I'd love a car that colour, but I'll have to make do with diamond blue instead! lol


<adds Scorch to list>

I meant to say amazon sword for your tall plant?

I now have a 35 for Vader just need to fit it somewhere lol

 

[Mamashack]

Will you be using the same decs and equipment in the 35? I so love that wood you found - was quite jealous when you showed us that! lol
Will look out for Amazon sword! Thanks!

 

[Shelster]

Ooh yes, I love my bargain piece of wood.

 

[TallTree01]

Wait..... I'm supposed to change my socks?
I always thought that because of all the beneficial bacteria living in it it would help with the smell.
