BettagoSplenda
Still consider myself pretty new to fish keeping. This will be my third Betta. My first Betta lived for about 4 years in a heated, filtered bathtub. My second Betta was a rescue that came in horrible condition. He lived for 2 years and passed in March 2018. So this will be my third Betta pet. I unfortunately did fish-in cycle for the first two Bettae. Doing fishless cycling with this Nano Tank now. So like my description, I am a one Betta at a time kinda of guy. Oh, keeping an aquarium helps my PTSD. I served in the US military and it left some mental scars.
