Hello hello!
I'm only a few months old when it comes to the "fish world" so I've been reading a lot of things on here to help me go through this process. I got a Betta last month and he's in a 2.5 gallon tank. I have a 5 gallon tank from when I was really little and we had goldfish. The reason why I didn't use it was because it's been sitting in a storage room in the basement called "the monster room" so it was pretty gross looking. Plus, my mom insisted I buy a tank set up kit that included a filter and water conditioner to save money.
ANYWAYS, my fish is really active. He likes to swim around a lot, so I'm thinking of biting the bullet and setting up the 5 gallon tank for him. However, he just got situated in this one so I think I'm going to wait a bit, maybe towards summer since things are hectic now since I'm a senior in high school.
To get on with it, what are some things I can get my Betta that will keep up with how active he is? He has a real moss ball in his tank, and two fake plants, only one of which he really likes. I know there's not too much room in a 2.5 gallon tank, but I feel bad for the poor little guy. Is there anything I could get for him to not just be swimming around all the time? Something he could interact with? I was thinking of getting him a "house" where he could hide, but he likes his hiding place behind the filter and likes to rest there.
Thanks!
