Aquarium Advice Addict
So today I went to Petco, just browsing around the selections, seeing if they happen to have anything I wanted. Believe it or not, there were no dead fish in the tanks, and they were all happy and very healthy. The lady seemed to know her stuff, so I decided that this was a very decent Petco. I was just browsing around the betta section and then-OMIGOSH! I fell in love with this beautiful blue-and-yellowish betta! He's a Halfmoon Double Tail Plakat Male and he is stunning! Along with his dominant yellow-and-blue coloration, he also has some hints of purple on his scales and little orangish tinges on the tips of his fins! He was awesome! He HAD to be mine!
Currently he's being housed in a five gallon tank that was originally intended for bumblebee gobies, but it can wait! I used some already pre-established media from my filters and used an Aquaeon 30 along with another heater from my tank! I'm checking the water parameters everyday and changing about .5 gallons of water daily. His home has a shell, a terra cotta pot, two anubias, and two java fern. He's really a great fish! He's a little shy though, but I expect him to perk up soon!
I'll show you a pic when I can! He really is quite the charmer, in fact the female betta next to him was staring at him the whole time and was looking at him when I took him!
Anyone have any tank mate suggestions? I really want his tank to look nice! Also do you have any suggestions for lights for this tank? Right now I am using a desk top lamp. Thanks!
