I have a 135 gallon tropical tank, a 40 gallon guppy tank that I (regretfully) neglect, and a 20 gallon tank. The 20 gallon is my betta tank and requires the absolute most work to keep it clean. The smaller the tanks, the more difficult they are to maintain, in my opinion!

Bettas are also tropical, so they require a heater. And they're very sensitive to filters with any kind of water flow, and require sponge filters instead therefore

Yes. 10% water change a week, and checking water parameters frequently

@Versa, even a betta aquarium?

I had a betta as a starter fish. With any fish, it's important to remember aquariums are a heck ton of work

Plants don’t add bacteria but they do consume some of the toxins

@Em, that's a good idea. Do the plants add bacteria too?
ZequineZ

Beneficial bacteria can be hit or miss I’ve heard but I personally have had good results with it. If you can steal some established filter media from someone that boosts it too

If you add beneficial bacteria which you can get at pet stores it can make it faster :)

With cycling though you have to take into account a brand new fresh tank can run forever but unless something is put into the system, it will never be cycled because the beneficial bacteria doesn't have anything to feed on

Yeah I did have issues with nitrite for months myself thinking back

@Zz, just a month is nothing. I can do that. My research says 10-12 weeks which is like 3 months!

Well if you are wanting just one, a betta is the way to go. They are super friendly and personable and very easy to care for

I second the research. Specifically research the nitrogen cycle. Running it for A week isn’t enough usually. Mine took a month

I think I am just scared of having multiple fish vs just one.

I do! I've been doing it with my gelding for about 3-4ish years now and I trained him how to be ridden that way so feel free to message me with any questions!

I think youre talking about bareback?
If yes, I definitely recommend it, it can be a little bit scary in the beginning, but its great for improving your seat and has giving me a lot of confidence when im in the saddle
If your mare hasnt done it before, I think having another equestrian there to watch incase things go awry

Free riding is bareback without a bridle

I kind of do! Right now, I still have to use a bridle, but that's because I'm using one of my newer mares that's not fully leg trained. The goal is to have her bridle-less by the end of the year. :)
If you have any questions, feel free to pm me!

I ride bareback like this as well, she is and older mare and never learned leg yielding? I don't know why and the owner don't either. If you have questions let me know :D
