JamieB513 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 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! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Hanson Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Java moss on a bamboo pole that we bought at our local PetCo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll look into the Embers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockEwe49 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 @JamieB513 Wow that blue is so bright! I have a koi plakat male betta! Can't wait to see the tank fully stocked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutBout Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Welcome! The betta looks quite shiny! The 29 gallon aquarium has a nice calm layout. A dwarf water lily would be a cool addition in there. Edited September 11, 2022 by OutBout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieB513 Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
