Temporary Home For Betta

So I made a temporary home for a betta my kids just had to save from the tiny cup. It's gotta last him at least a couple weeks until I can get him his own 5 gallon. What do y'all think?
it has a small filter and all my other tanks keep at about 78 degrees without heaters so it should be about the same

Oh its a real plant and I'm guessing it's around 3 gallons

 

That should be just fine. Is it cycled? How big is it?

Perfect!

The filter is about a month old so not quite. I will be keeping an eye one perimeters

If you have an API Master test kit you can test the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. It is pretty important for keeping aquariums, but if the tank smells it probably has ammonia and just do some little water changes each week.

I do have a test kit

 

Doing great! Hope your new rescue thrives in this temp home, and the permanent one! This is a great "hospital" setup <3

Where do you live where your tanks stay at 78 without heaters? My fish would love that...me and my husband, not so much

Sweet thank you

 

Funny, I have a QT set up right now for a new betta and I have a plant and a coffee cup in it too. Lol!

Lol what a coincidence!

 

By the way, if you have a little extra cycled media in the other filters just move some to the new filter for a quick cycle. I do it all the time for my QT tanks.

 

It should be just fine. Anything is better than a cup.

I would love it if the temperature in my house stayed at 78 all the time. That's the perfect temperature for me.

I hate it actually lol we have central air so if it was up to me I'd keep at like 65 but my family disagrees

I don't have any extra media at the moment. Everything is in use in my other tanks. They are fully cycled tho so maybe I can just cut a piece off my big one? Its pretty tore up and needs to be replaced but I'm to scared to loose my cycle sense the biowheel is still looking almost new I don't think it has enough bb to prevent a cycle crash

 

Here's pictures of him hard to get a good one sense the plastic can make him look distorted lol his name is Echo

 

That should be fine.

 

Ok guys I was able to get him his new home a lot sooner then I thought! Here is Echo in his new 5 gallon paradise!! Goldiemom Fisher27 Lacey D

 

Perfect! I bet he’s so happy.

 

Awesome!! Love the tank!
