Okay I have a six month old betta named jaws in a 5 gallon tank that is a rectangle except one side (front) is curved out. Inside there is a filter and a small heater (raises heat about 3 degrees) that isn't really needed cus its summer. Right now I have a little rainbow cave/igloo in it (he doesn't really go in it, its kinda in the way of the water from the filter) I have 2 fake plants (ones kinda spikey and the other is a good place for jaws to hide. I also have blue/agua colored gravel just like jaws, so he camo's pretty well when the lights are off. I am going to Alaska for 2 weeks, and I need a betta sitter...but after that I would like to go to to Petco/Petsmart and get some new stuff for him as I am really getting into fish. I've had 8 bettas before....all in the same tank....when I was 5...it din't go well and i was extremely sad..then I got one like 2 years ago and it lasted 2 years in a 1 gallon fish bowl. Another dumb thing I did (never researched). Before getting jaws I researched all day and got this 5 gallon (perrrfect) anyway.
What should i get for the aquarium?...new layout?...maybe another fish or two if possible? Any advice would be great as I might want another betta, for my room. Also, how much would a normal 3-5 gallon aquarioum cost?
I'll try to take a picture of my tank..not sure if i'll be able to. Anyway any help would be possible.
