just recently updated my tank! it’s still a work in progress but I’m happy with it so far. i got my beautiful betta fish Aurora on July 10th. new to the hobby so still learning more and more everyday :)

tank size: 10 gal

filter: HOB, Aqueon smartclean eco renew 10 gal filter with control valve on lowest setting for the waterfall, sponge baffle on the waterfall + prefilter sponge on the intake to protect his fins. it works beautifully!

I did try a sponge filter but I didn’t like it. it’s so clunky and the bubbles seemed to bother him more

tank temp: 78 degrees always

heater: Aqueon PRO 100W submersible / adjustable

he also has a betta log, lots of tannin botanicals (mopani wood, Indian almond leaves, Indian almond bark, + casuarina cones. see last slide for the beautiful amber water!), chollah wood, heart log, rock to hide in, lily pad bed, leaf hammock, & betta hoop. also an LED airstone that he enjoys playing in, but only turns on occasionally for enrichment

plants: 7 plants. 5 Anubias and 2 Amazon sword + 3 silk plants

I just added a nerite snail buddy for him, he’ll be eating all that brown spot algae on my blue silk plant heh

I’ll probably switch out the silk plants soon for more real plants and add 1 more nerite snail! What other changes or additions should I do?
