Walking the driveway
SO... I’ve “inherited” a 10 gallon tank. It has the older style lid with built in light and filter (I can tell y’all the exact one when I get home if anyone is interested). There’s also a heater and an air stone.
Currently, the tank is cycled and heathy, with gravel substrate and a little bit of decor. It used to have a little school of tetra in it, but they’ve moved into Fishie Manor, a 55gal planted tank.
What I would LIKE to do with this now empty 10gal is to change the substrate to something more amenable to plants, get it looking nice and lush, make a tiny bonsai tree out of marimo, and once it’s ready, put a betta in there! And maybe some shrimp to keep it clean.
To get there I might have to change some of the other components. Like, I don’t think the light in this hood is strong enough to keep plants happy. And I’ll have to cycle it again if I change the substrate. Argh! I want my betta NOW! I’ve never had one and I’m super excited to spoil it with exotic treats and the happiest habitat.
