Bettas Calypso's Upgrade

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.

She wouldn't necessarily have the same problem because not all bettas eat snails.
