My boy finally got a bigger tank!! I’m so happy to see him roam around so much and get the space he deserves

2 tanks, 5 hours, and a pair of wet socks later, I upgraded my Fluval Evo 13.5 to a Waterbox 20 cube. Couldn’t be happier and I think the clowns love it too. By far my favorite rock scape and everyone seems to love the extra 5 gallons of swimming space!! I love Waterbox’s tanks (even if the first one arrived shattered)

Lazy betta upgrade?

Okay so DaVinci is a very lazy betta he just sits around on about three surfaces in his little 5 gallon. He's healthy eats well and params are all good, he's just lazy. But the shelf I have him on would fit a 20 gallon long perfectly, And there's the dollar per gallon sale, I'm very tempted. But I dont want to drop the cash if he won't enjoy it. So does anyone have experience on upgrading lazy bettas was there a difference in behavoir or happiness that you could tell. I really want to spoil him but with a bigger tank id need a new lid, heater, and filter too so its not just the cost of the tank

So I've been a bit slack with updates... Cabaré got a tank upgrade!

From memory, this tank holds somewhere between 52 and 58 litres. I got it 2nd hand from a good friend who was upgrading for their crayfish (i think it was...? @excess-of-cervidae ) which cleaned up nicely in my opinion.

The water looks a bit odd because a) I have a really bad camera, and b) Indian Almond leaves are releasing tannins, which is good because his fins are looking great and so are all but one of his scales (he as a growth developing on/under the single scale, I fear it might be due to him being what I was taught was dragon scale)

But anyhow, he likes to hide in under the moss shelf from time to time, sitting on said shelf, and relaxing in the Wine Glass Garden (which the tall plants in it are still sulking after getting knocked about when I was putting the tank on the new shelves over a fortnight ago)

I'm still working on getting circulation to the right balance (i was out of town for a while), but he seems to like having a better viewpoint in my flat (top of the water is about 1.5 meters above the ground and can see most of my kitchen, most of the entry/dining and my bedroom, so he can see pretty much anything going on if he wants, although I think he's mildly offended he can see the shrimp hanging out in the next tank's filter compartment (update coming soon) and not get to them.
