[Hi from Cincinnati]

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I think I’m ready to add my first fish to the tank. Would adding 8 rummynose tetras be too much at one time? My local fish store will be getting an shipment in tomorrow. If they all look ok I’ll probably grab them on Tuesday night or Wednesday after work.
Thanks for all the help!

Tank looks great! Welcome! What type/color is your betta?

I’m not sure, she’s a blue color betta. Haha 

Here is a picture of her in her current 1 gallon tank that she came in.

Glad to have you onboard @JamieB513,  spent most of my life in Cincy before moving to TN.  I understand you have an aquarium club (society) now that you might want to look into.

Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea there was a fish club in town. It looks like I’m way on the other side of town from where they meet, but I’ll check them out for sure. Thanks again!

And PS, your tank is lovely!

Thanks, I appreciate the offer! I might take you up on it if I have water balancing questions.

Welcome to the forum! Some good fish to go with the Betta could be Harlequin Rasboras or Ember Tetras..

I also want to say your aquascape looks nice!

Harlequins and rummynose tetras are what we were thinking. I’ll look into the Embers.

Welcome to the forum @JamieB513! I really like the mossy tube structures on the right. Are those something you bought or something you made yourself?

Thanks! It’s Java moss on a bamboo pole that we bought at our local PetCo.

Hello all. Brand new to fish since we were given a “free” female betta a few weeks ago. We knew we would want to move her out of the one gallon tank she came in, so now we have set up a new 29 gallon tank. We plan on adding other betta friendly fish as well. Right now we’re still in the confusing cycling process but I think we’re getting close to adding a few fish. We look forward to exploring the group!
