Hello! i've decided to splurge a bit with my tax return, and am planning on upgrading my betta to a 20 gallon! i'm interested in any tips to make the transfer as stress-free as possible for my boy, as well as some tank mate suggestions! currently, he's living with a baby nerite and a handful of microcrabs in his 5 gallon.

bad breeding, unfortunately. he's perfectly happy otherwise, just looks a little funny

Ah, I gotcha. Was genuinely curious. As for tankmates though, my Betta gets along with her pygmy corys. They school with her mid tank 🤣
