It has been 2 years since I have had a betta, and about a year since I sort of attempted to get back into the hobby. That attempt was unsuccessful, due to some personal issues. Well, I have gotten many of those issues taken care of, and have a lot more free time lately. I think I am ready to get back into the hobby, and start from square 1....again.
I was looking over all of my old stuff today, and my tank has a crack in it, so I am going to be getting another one, so far my list of what I will need to acquire is: a new 10 gallon tank, sponge filter, gravel, safe decorations, some sort of hiding spot, lid for the tank, and a heater.
I am unsure as to whether or not I should get a low level light, because the spot where the tank will go gets very little natural light, and almost no artificail light, as I only turn on one small lamp in my living room after it gets dark out.
I am sure that I am forgetting something here or there, but does the list that I made above seem about right for starting up the hobby again. I want to do it right this time, a few years ago I made a lot of stupid mistakes.
Edit: Mods, if perchance I put this in the wrong section, please don't hesitate to move it.
