Thanks mbkemp for the plant suggestions!

Carrie1, I would do that, but I have different types of filters in the two tanks. While they each perform three stage filtration, one has foam built into the cartridge for accumulation of beneficial bacteria, and the other has a separate compartment for a sponge. So I don't think that would...

I did not get responses to my post yesterday, but I wanted to send an update that I set up a 5 gallon tank for my Crowntail today. After having him in a completely circular bowl for 2 days, I realized it must in fact be incredibly disorienting. Now I have two different betta setups, 5.5 and 5...
