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 |

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

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 |

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

Bird 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 |

Em I had them breed back when I had a large angelfish tank lol of course the angels ate the eggs |
