Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum so I hope I am posting in the right section (really sorry if not!!) but I have a dilemma and I would really appreciate any help or advice.
I rescued a beautiful Betta fish today from a friend who was no longer able to care for him, he was being housed in a 9 Litre tank with a heater and NO FILTER! Therefore the tank was not cycled or established by any means.
I have a 40L community tank which he would not be compatible in at all therefore I pulled out my spare 28L tank which I set up with a heater, filter, plant substrate, gravel, live plants and an ornament. I have also added de-chlorinator and some beneficial bacteria booster.
I have acclimated him into this tank but ideally I would of preferred to do a fish-less cycle but due to the circumstances I am left with no choice.. He seems OK but has been hiding a lot?
I am stuck with how to best care for him? and what percentage water change will I need to do daily? ahhh
Sorry if this post is all over the place - any guidance on this would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance!
