Unfortuantely, I had to downgrade my betta's tank to this glass cube and I was wondering if it would be an adequate living space for my male betta ! Would he get bored in his tank? Any advice in other decorations? I also clean it out 100% weekly, is that good enough? Thanks
(For the record, the water usually is above what is depicted in the pictures, it's just that the water level lowers due to evaportation.)
Hi, a 100% is good, perhaps try to fit in a 50% midweek. Some bettas are super good jumpers some type of a top will prevent that. Love the " cube " look. Your betta looks happy to me.
the only changes i'd make would be switching out those plastic plants for either live or fabric plants, and put a mesh or some other breathable material (a doily secured with a rubber band perhaps?) on top to prevent jumping.
How big is it? Looks to be 2-3g, if kept properly he should do fine. I'd put in some kind of cave, I found a ceramic "Betta" log at Petsmart that doesn't take up a lot of room. They also have some broad leaf silk plants that I think would be good, it'd give him something to rest on. And like already suggested I'd put some kind of top on it, maybe get a piece of screen cut to just come over the edges where you can bend them down.
I would do 100% water changes every few days because smaller tanks get greater amount of ammonia XD a bubblenest is from natural instinct! I agree with Shellieca! Some silk plants and a cave will make him even more happy! >.<
Like I said, I don't know the exact measurements, so I'll get an exact measure when I clean out his home out again. If it more than 1.5g, I would say it is 2g.
Like the others have said, I would use silk plants and get a hiding spot....other than that I think your setup is super cute and with the proper water changes would be a good environment! I love the glass cube!
Bubble nesting does not mean the betta is happy as some betta fish with severe tumors and other issues build a bubble nest just before dieing. However your tank looks good do regular water changes and he should be good.
