Should i use it?

[FishieKeeper429]

My sister got a 2.5 gallon tank for her turtle that was labeled "Aquatic Tank". She then upgraded to a 10g tank and have the 2.5 to me. I was planning on putting my male Betta in it but I dropped some filtration stones from my kitchen water filter when filling it up. I used the last of my gravel on the bottom of it and now it has filtration stones embedded in it. I'd really like to put my Betta in it because he is in a 1g Betta keeper at the moment and I feel bad but should I just take the gravel out and use the tank as a fish tank? Should I not use it at all? Should I just put him in and see what happens? Advice wanted and needed! Thanks!

No answers so I think I'm going to take the leap...

If you are asking if a Betta will be okay In a 10 gallon tank then yes. A Betta should be fine in there.

No that's not what I'm asking.

Well a 2.5g is better for him than a 1g but what exactly are the filter stones? Are they new or used?

Used. But kind of new.

Don't use them then. You don't know what been absorbed into them. Stick to inert gravel or sand.
