[AquaticLife] Lenny.. question about betta’s
Lisa:
I have a 1.5 gal tank with a single betta and he loves it. I bought the Tetra WonderTank kit that came with two plastic plants and filter. I do a 25% PWC every week and have just started using a vacuum for the tank. I am having some issues with the vacuum though, I don’t think the tank has enough height to get decent suction out of it. I am still experimenting.
I don’t think you will need a bottom feeder. I don’t have one and haven’t had any issues.
Just my $0.02 worth from the little experience I have.
