Hey all.
So I deceided to do a little upgrade for my betta. I went out and bought a 1.5 gal tank w/filter. It's pretty sharp looking and it is set up. I haven't put The General in yet even though the water has been treated for 24 hrs (I had planned on doing a water change tonight). I want to let the filter get to it. Plus I don't want to shock him.
My questions would be; Is it really necessary for a tank this small to have a filter? Perhaps go without? I notice at the top of the water, it's a little choppy due to the filter. Would that freak him out? Maybe the vibration would be too much?
Also, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone how has given me pointers. As I am brand new to the world of fish. This site has been amazing for help.
I would post pictures of the little guy, but, I don't own a digital camera. Just my awful camera phone.
Thanks again!!
