Betta's fins under that dragon stone ledge get me every time. Blue Bolts (24 of them) cleaning up after him nonstop.

Looking pretty good these days.

Added the betta today, bag's floating right now to temp match. Keep checking on him every 10 min, probably annoying him at this point. Water's 78F, ammonia reading 0 so figured it was safe enough. Vallisneria still real sparse but he seems fine swimming around it.

That halfmoon's fins look great next to the java fern. How's the blue bolt shrimp holding up with a betta in there?

10 gallons for a betta plus that shrimp colony is a fun little world. How has the AquaClear 70 been on flow, did you have to baffle it for the betta

Tank owner replied

Yeah baffled it right away, just used a bit of sponge over the output. Straight out of the box it was way too much current for a betta this size tank. Now it's pretty gentle, vals barely sways

No leaves in there, that tannin tint is just from the stratum breaking in probably. Shrimp doing ok with the betta in there?

The blue bolts holding up ok with a betta in there? Mine would've gone straight for them

Tank owner replied

So far so good, he mostly ignores them. They stick to the dragon stone crevices and only really come out when lights dim. Lost count but started with like 6-7 and haven't noticed any missing yet (could be wrong though, hard to count with all the rockwork)
