Hi
The more I read about your guys betnt toas on the forums of this site, the more I really want to keep my own beta/betas, however I'd really rather not jump into it and get things wrong or do anything that is unnecessary, and get s advice from you guys first.
Sorry if some of these questions seem to be silly questions for someone who's kept an aquarium for ages, however I've never kept betas before, and would like to maybe have some beta fry at some point
From reading the forum and looking at photos of your tanks I'm beginning to understand that betas do better in smaller tanks, with a little substrate, a plant or two and preferably with no tank mates. The sort of tank size I would imagine keeping a beta in would be around L12" W6" H6" Would this be large, but small enough? I also understand that betas do not like surface movement, therefor what is best method of getting air into the tank? would an air stone be too much in a small tank?
Any advice or suggestions as to how I should set up my first beta tank would be greatly appreciated.
