They both sit in the front left corners and stare at me while wiggling around like bananas.

You crack me up Julie!!!

Those are all great, I really enjoyed this thread

One question,
If I wanted a betta, would I need a heater for my 2 gallon hex tank??? I usually don't see heaters in your tanks or wuvs??? Is it okay to have them without one??? :unsure:

)

Also, I heard that bettas don't really like filtration.......is this true Oh Master???

Sorry for all the questions, but I think I'm catching the........eh-hem.....

BETTA BUG

BAHAHAHA! Silver is coming over to the other side!!! *grins evilly* :hyper:

As far as heating and filtration, there are quite a few differing opinions. Heating really depends on how warm your house is. If it stays in the "acceptable" range (mid seventies+), you don't really need a heater unless you want one. Heating can be handy, since it keeps the temperature constant, which is healthier for the fish. However, a 2 gallon is a little risky for heating, though you could probably get away with it.

Filtration is also your choice. I only filter my larger tanks, as I do 50% changes twice weekly on the smaller ones. Some bettas really hate filtration, and others don't mind it at all. If you decide to get a filter, just get one that is adjustable, like an Azoo Palm filter, or a Whisper Mini. :nod:
