Hi there -
I have never maintained an aquarium, but I have decided to start soon with a betta fish. He/she will be living in my home office and probably will get a lot of company from my cat Sophie (and me of course, but Sophie is home more than I am...).
I have no fish yet, but I have purchased a mini-bow 2.5 gal aquarium, that I hope will be Sophie proof. I also have gravel and cleaning supplies (dechlorinater, algae scrub pad, siphon, fish net). I hope 2.5 gal is enough for 1 betta fish. I haven't set it up yet, and I can return it for a 5 gal - but I hope 2.5 is good. I intend to have the aquarium set up and running for at least 7-10 days before I add the betta because I want to monitor the ph, water temp, etc. for awhile.
In the meantime I'm doing lots of research - which has lead me here!
