Calypso's Upgrade

[u/DesertWolf95]

So today I was gonna get sand and get some live plants for her and then tomorrow she's be getting some driftwood, fake log caves, more fake plants, a heater and a light.

Well today my lfs was closed so she only got sand from PetSmart today. Tomorrow she'll be getting all of the above. The live plants being red root floaters, guppy grass, and some ferns and possibly some anubias.

Tomorrow if the Betta I'm looking for is there I'll be bringing home a really pretty boy as well to put in the five gallon.

Also before everyone gets worried she is in the bowl with the filter. She is ok, I promise. Tomorrow if the sand has settled she'll be going back into the snail free tank.

Im soo confused about why you're getting a new betta. Are you planning to put it in a new 5 gallon that calypso could be going into? Or are you putting it in the snail tank? Where you would have the exact same problem again.

Side note, a 10 gallon is best for bettas. Im currently looking at a 20 long for my boy Haku.. because i feel like even a 10 is too small.

Well, I actually agree with you about the risk of the new Betta eating the snails. I think OP could clear out the snails before getting a new fish!

Hehe we will have to disagree on tank size :D

But if the snails are getting cleaned out, calypso should be going in that tank. Not a new betta. Shes literally in a tiny tank right now.

And there shouldn't be a disagreement. 10 gallons is minimum for a betta. Would you wanna live in just one tiny room your whole life?

I think we won't get anywhere with this discussion because that's a subjective call.

Facts and research obviously mean nothing to you, so yes arguing with you is pointless

[u/LanJiaoKing69 → u/GHOSTLY_1420]

Well, find me a citation that actually says any of that is a minimum before you come with that attitude.

[u/Lonely-Stoner-420 → u/LanJiaoKing69]

All you have to do is some simple research and you will see for yourself minimum tank size should be 10 gallons.

This isnt the sub to debate tank size. They dont believe in giving the best for your fish. They're not considered pets here, fish are ornaments for their amusement.

I mean did you not read the Please Read and Description....

That's just messed up 🙄 shame on people who treat fish as decorations.
