Hi guys,

I am a newbie at Aquarium Advice. I got my first betta 1 week ago from Petco and have learned so much from this community. I put him in a bowl for a few days and found out it was bad for him so i switched him to a 5 gal tank. Im doing in fish cycle right now cuz i think it would still be better than a bowl without filter or heater. I got him some plants and a marimo ball, hoping they'll keep the water quality a little bit better

Here he is. Sorry I'm a terrible photographer and he's so active. I live in America now though so I "rescued" this guy from Petco.

I know right? I was born and raised in Vietnam. Not too long ago, I came to America for college so I'll be back in Vietnam once I graduate. Thats why everyone at school call me international student

Extreme weather during winter and summer. With humidity and wind, it's 40C (104F) in the summer and -15 (5F) during the winter.

VISIT DURING SPRING OR FALL! I love spring here with all the flowers and rain and fall is really nice too
