10 gallon betta tank

[Wyomingite]

It isnt perfect conditions of the bettas are genetic abominations

Then so are all albino fish, as well as domestic strain platies, swordtails, mollies, various varieties of domestic strain tetras, flowerhorns, parrot cichlids, OB zebras and anything else that I'm forgetting which doesn't exist naturally in the wild. Albinos rarely survive in the wild as their color makes them stick out and vulnerable to predation. Domestic strain livebearers are hybridized and line bred for specific colors and fin traits, the tetras are line bred, and the cichlids are hybrids, none of which would exist without human interference. I doubt any hobbists can say that they've never kept an "abomination" by your standards.

I did a 50% water change and moved stuff around in the tank. Waiting on a new background for this tank and the new filter to arrive. I have the biomax from the broken one in the filter on my 40B. The sponge filters aren’t cutting it with the sand. I now can see the true size of my giant betta and he’s huge. I can see him from across my room.

Great progress so far! ^^

I'm trying to figure out how "giant" giant bettas are. I found one source that says 4". Is that right?

Oh. Stupid me

Giant bettas are betta splendens. They grow to 3.5-4”. Giants eat more then normal bettas and basically are more calmer than the standard betta.

Nice to know. Man they really are giant.

They are. I’m glad I’m moved him to the 10 gallon, he’s all over the place. Plus the new filter replacement arrives tomorrow!
