Brian Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Any fish in the tank? If not remove some water, maybe half. Rinse gravel and dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAT Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Yes - 1 betta. Should i take him out for the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Well you could use a plastic cup or container and add slowly. Or even a net. Add slowly maybe taking a couple hours to complete . but if possible why not remove half the water to a bucket and put fish in there. Dump and scape. Once tank is clearing up add the fish back in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Sorry. Aqua scape. Driftwood-plants or decorations. Whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 big cup or scoop, and gently set it in the tank. as mentioned above, remove some water, dont want the water raising over the rim as you add gravel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on how to go about adding gravel? Just rinse the substrate before you add it. remove the betta because it's easy to do and will reduce stress on the fish. you can then use a small kids plastic cup or something to slowly add the substrate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAT Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Thanks friends!!!! I followed the wisdom and it all looks great. I also realized that I have a blue light for this light so the gravel my son picked glows! Bonus! See pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
