3g tank

Live plants work great in a small tank and help with (usually inadequate) biofiltration and removal of nitrates. Plants help stabilize, no small thing in a tank in which water conditions are inherently unstable due to the size.

Bzzt. Wrong again ford boy (see that, you've even earned yourself a nickname).

I recommend anachris to start with BTW, it will grow well with minimal care, can float or be planted, and shouldn't really need added ferts and nutrients. Great beginner plant, and readily available.

(edit) actually I see some people recommending neons. I wouldn't put them in a tank that small because for one thing they enjoy schooling (6 or 7 is a good minimum number), and for another they are semi-sensitive fish that would do better in a more stable environment (i.e. larger tank). I'm not saying it can't be done, just that I wouldn't do it.

People tend to reccommend neons for small tanks because they are small fish, but there would be other choices that would be better suited.

still being a tough guy?

does being an internet bully make you fell better about yourself?

You get picked on out in the real world so you retreaat to your computer to be a tough guy.

Let me guess. You're 240, 6'4, a black belt and a real ladies man.

Are you still here? :rolleyes:

How about you forget about me, and just go back to giving poor advice and working on your cars.

Does being judgemental and picking fights with your betters make you feel like more of a man?

You're close, I'm 6' tall 225 lbs. I have more of a linebacker build than a black belt, but I'd rather not compare martial arts skills, online I prefer to rely on my grammatical ninjitsu. You've already lost that fight. You likely lose most fights, after all, you don't even know how to spell "retreat" (which is what you should be doing right now). I have been dating the same girl for six months (I'm really more of a monogamous ralationship guy).

I'm also a Leo, my favorite color is navy blue, and I love very sharp cheddar cheese. You want to know anything else sweet cheeks? I think he has a man crush guys, how cute. Sorry, I don't Zander around buddy, but don't worry you'll find someone eventually. Though last I checked women and men both frown on belligerent idiots with low self esteem, so you may want to work on that.

That's more than enough room for a betta, and I highly recommend them. ^.^ They're great little fish with such personalities. They come in all different sorts of colors and shapes, halfmoons and crowntails and giants. You can put in some plants, which do a lot for a little tank. Bettas don't need a filter or aerator as they can breath air. Read up on them, and see what you think.

Regardless of thei ability to breath surface air, bettas still need clean water, so a filter is really needed. Those of you who keep bettas in bowls and such without filters can get by with very frequent water changes, but a filter would really be nice. An aerator in a tank that size isnt necessary though.

Ha! I should have guessed!

Leo
July 23 - August 22
Leo is the fifth Sign of the Zodiac. These folks are impossible to miss, since they love being center stage. Making an impression is Job One for Leos, and when you consider their personal magnetism, you see the job is quite easy. Leos are an ambitious lot, and their strength of purpose allows them to accomplish a great deal. The fact that these folks are also creative makes their endeavors fun for them and everyone else. It's quite common to see a Leo on stage or in Hollywood, since these folks never shy away from the limelight. They are also supremely talented and have a flair for the dramatic. Warmth and enthusiasm seems to seep from every Leo pore, making these folks a pleasure to be around. They do love pleasure!

It's the Lion which symbolizes Leos, and the king (or queen) of the jungle is a most appropriate mascot, since these folks consider themselves the rulers of their universe (and the Zodiac at that). Like Lions, Leos tend to be dignified and strong, and it is this sense of their power which allows them to get things done. A Leo on your team is a good thing, since Lions are eager to see their projects through to completion. Putting these folks at the helm is a good thing, too, since the Leo-born are natural leaders. They may ruffle a few feathers along the way, however, since they can also be overbearing and somewhat autocratic. This may be in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign -- Lions are indeed opinionated and set in their ways. That said, they are well organized, idealistic and have a knack for inspiring others.

Someone said I should put a betta and a ghost shrimp in it. Don't betta swim around much?

Maybe just just adding a plant and a ghost shrimp would be best?

I have an Eclipse 3G in my kitchen with a male betta and a ghost shrimp. The betta has a little cave he sometimes sits in and a few plants for cover (red ludwiga, water wysteria). They both seem content with it.

If you keep plants in a 3 gallon, be prepared to do a lot of frequent pruning as some plants grow fast enough to fill up the entire tank in no time.
