Yes! I know! I'm surprised it isn't dear already. I'm not expecting it to survive toe move, honestly
Betta tank for friend
- Thread starter Amazoniantanklvr
- Start date
I'm not expecting the betta to live long in those conditions
If the betta has been in the vase for a bit of time you can expect BB to be on whatever decor is in the vase/small container, if there is any. Move all that over and you don't need to fish-in cycle.
I know that but she want to do a panted tank and I'd recommend a nutrient substrate or at least a natural colored substrate (it is currently pink, I believe). I am still waiting for a pic. I'd encourage her to get the fish out of there as soon as possible. It'll be pink substrate with bb the media cycle then remove the ps.
If shes changing substrate, what she can do is take her old substrate, put it in a media bag (dont let it dry out) and place it in the filter of the new tank to seed the cycle. Ive done this in the past to cycle new tanks.
I think this might be better.

Rosy loaches are not bottom feeders and are pretty sensitive. Also uncommon to run by, only seen a couple at my LFS.
They should be fine in a regular 5g but your friend needs to keep up on water changes with a tank that overstocked.
