I do keep a HOB (hang on back) filter in my betta tank, as well as a sponge filter. However, I have a metric shit-ton of live plants that break up the water flow. And my betta seems to defy all the rules and actually likes hanging out near the outflow of the filter *glares lightly at Nalo* he also made friends with two female guppy fry I tossed in for him to snack on, so now he has friends, which I never figured would happen.

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
09:19:24 ZEZ - ZZ
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

Finally got around to reading the Mistborn trilogy this month and my heart is absolutely in shatters.

Any of y'all read anything good lately?

I read the Priory of the Orange Tree and A Day of Fallen Night this month! Both were pretty good, though I liked the Priory a little bit more. I'm also a bit embarrassed that the Priory sat on my TBR for 3 years before I finally got around to trying it.

This is my side account. I am open to all forms! New adult would be nice as I am slowly transitioning out of YA, but like I said I am open. ;)

Awesome :) What sub genres do you like? eg. I can only read fantasy if it is a fantasy romance.

If you liked Vespertine, you'll like Lockwood and Co. It's a series, but it has a dynamic similar to Anastasia and the Revenant (not in the first book, but you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it)
Margaret Rogerson's other book, Sorcery of Thorns, is lovely as well.

If y'all are looking for some adult books, I have recently found a series call the plated prisoner series, otherwise known Gild, gleam, glint, and glow, all four books
