Well, reality hits some times. You need to move, new houses ect.
I came to the realization I am no longer able to be a monster fish keeper for at least 5 years.
I did not let that stop me though! I got a small fish with big attitude!
I picked up a fluval flex 9 Gallon to put my show Plakat betta in!
A few small mods like filter floss in the left empty compartment, a better hole to run the pump and heater lines out of.
I went with a heater for a 5 gallon, my house is nice and warm. I was worried about the heater getting stuck on and boiling the little dude. So I got a small enough heater that if my house does get a little cool the tank wont but it cant boil the little guy if it breaks. (normally I avoid this by using multiple smaller heaters on a larger tank but not an option with small tanks!)
Mind you the fluvals light broke about 2 weeks into owning it... The replacement should be here this week from fluval.
I got some pre-filter sponges/foam set for the fluval edge and that took care of the high flow issue perfectly! Great 6 buck fix!
anyways better photos to come when the light gets in. Until then! Here yah go!
