mattk87 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hi Everyone!Ā Ā Iām Matt and this is Cranky Franky. Ā Iām a music teacher and I decided to get a betta fish to become āmy virtual music class petāĀ while I was teaching remotely last year. Ā The kids in my classes LOVED him! Ā TheyĀ sang songs to him, the kids made drawings for him, and it gave us all something to laugh about. Ā Heās in a 5 gallon tank with a Fluval 25 watt nano heater and a small sponge filter. Ā There areĀ different varieties of anubias,Ā some dwarf sag,Ā hornwort, and 3 neriteĀ snails. Ā Iām thinking of upgrading his light. Ā I love watching Coryās videos and Iām looking forward to learning from everyone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atitagain Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Cranky FrankyĀ is sure fitting for that look. That is awesome to integrate him, and he becomes an active part of the class. Funny how some things get kidās attention. I have nothing but respect for all teachers, and you take the time to go one step further. šKeep up the good work.
