Hi!!
I'm new to the forums and to fish keeping (somewhat). I've had a betta for 3 years and now I'm looking at moving on up to keeping a 10 gallon FW community tank.
I originally had my betta in the 10 gallon, then he became ill (lethargic) and now he's in a 1 gallon for nursing. Now, I'm thinking he got sick due to poor water conditions ....i.e. I never cycled the tank & knew nothing about keeping a fish healthy (cycling, water parameters etc). That's why I'm here, to learn as much as I can about fish keeping. Just want to make sure I do things right for once haha. Anyways, I digress....I'm upgrading the betta to a 3.5 gal later this week; hoping if I keep the water 100% good he'll just get better on his own.
