Hello everyone,
I am kind of new to this having fish thing but I love it already. So I have 2 betta fish (batman and batwoman) who live in two seperate 1 1/2 gallon fish tanks as of right now. I was wanting to get them a 20 gallon tank with a divider in the next few weeks. So I have a few questions and concerns that is why I am on this site. 1. what all is recommended for a 20 gallon tank? i was just going to get the started tank with lights and filter. I have a heater already. 2. how long does it need to cycle for? 3. do i need to check the ph levels cause as of right now i don't they, the fish just hang out and i do regular water changes as needed and they seem pretty happy. 4. what is the best way to set it up with live plants? i had some before and they died.
So if anyone can help me out that would be great.
Thanks,
Steph
