Ideas for a betta tank

like I said, you can get 2 otos if you get the 7G tank.
 
Awesome so cycle 2-6 weeks later betta, than otos a couple weeks later?? And i will go looking at some live plants. Just how much and how many live plants? Any forums on those? lol thanks for all the ideas and suggestions.
 
add the betta right after you cycle, and the otos as soon as you have enough algae to support them.

java moss is an excellent cycling plant.

Should i add just the java moss or can i add the other two you mentioned to me (java fern and anubias)?
 
Personally, I think the 3 gallon is fine, make sure to buy an appropriate sized heater that will not overheat. Bettas need it around 80. I had to put a samll apple snail in with mine and he was just fine with it, although gave it dirty looks at first. Make sure you are getting Pomacea Bridgesii, which is the smaller one that won't eat plants. I would not recommend the Otos because they need a lot of algae and only eat certain kinds, they are hard to supplement because they often won't eat algae wafers.
 
I was trying to recall when I responded to a post with this title, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
