Hey guys!
So, we set up and cycled a 3 gallon for our new betta. Everything is set to 0, we have 2 live plants and 2 silk plants in there, a heater set to 70, and a tiny filter (not 100% sure what the filter is, it came with the tank. Uses tetra mini filters. I liked it for the low current effect). We don't currently know WHAT the betta is... We snagged one of the "baby boy" bettas that Petco sells. I'll try to attach a picture. He's about a half-inch long.
I've tried ghost shrimp in the past with my tanks for clean up, but they always die pretty quick. I've only ever had a male betta by himself once.... Usually i put them in my community tank, so there's plenty of friends to clean up.
How often do you think this tank is currently going to need changed/cleaned? Would you recommend any particular shrimp/snail for clean up? There's currently black sand as the substrate... Any "hides" for a betta that might work well? (All i was finding was pretty rough castles and skulls and such.)
