I took out some plants in this tank to move to my newer tank that doesn't have a lot of plant growth but now I'm missing the overgrown look.

My first tank!

Always wanted to put a little (5.5 USgal) fish tank on this table and my parents finally said yes! My parents are getting kinda impatient and want to add a betta already. This tank has not cycled yet so I’m telling them I wanna be 100% sure before I add but they keep complaining abt how long it’ll take

I kinda wanna tell em to “shut up I researched this” but that’ll get me in trouble. So far I’ve just been saying “it’s my project and I want to decide these things,” but they still complain. I guess it’s just in old people dna to complain

I know having the filter and heater in the center like that is ugly but I’m fine with that I just couldn’t find a way to hide them so I didn’t. I spent like $175 on everything in the tank including that tank itself. Think I’ll get some floaters as well, although I’m torn between salvinia and Amazon frogbit. Any opinions on either of those?

Any advice to a new fish keeper in general? Is my setup missing anything? If so what?

I know these aren’t in the picture but yes I have water conditioner and a test kit, like I said I researched this.

Fish are so hard to take care of (at least for me a beginner) I adore mt betta fish but he has some little tears in his fins seemingly from brushing against something sharp and like genuinly I wanna bawl my eyes out over it but that isnt productive so instead im asking strangers in the internet how to fix it

(My betta is fine I think he just insists on resting on hard wood instead of his soft leaf hammock i bought just for him)

Also while I was doing a water change he bit me :(

I was in the middle of setting up my new betta fish tank then my power went out :’(

Hey I’ve been interested in getting a betta fish and I had multiple questions , and I tough I could ask them here

1. What are the healthiest betta ? (I see a lot are actually prone to have bad health problems like samurai and dragon getting diamond eye and long fins having trouble swimming ect)

2. What are good shoaling tank mates besides tetras ? (Just curious with this one)
