OMG Cycling *Please Help*

I didn't buy the tank from walmart. I have a mini fluorescent bulb in it for the plants.
 
You all rock for helping me and not making me feel bad for being a horrible fishy parent. I just was one of those that never knew there was so much involved in caring for a fish. Im happy to have my fish and I want nothing but the best for him.

If there is one amoung us that hasn't made a bone headed decision while getting into the hobby (or still doesn't do stupid stuff on occation) please step forward and be sainted.

The hobby is all about learning. You can count keeping bettas in those little cup size plastic containers and trying to keep 4 ocars in a 10g amoung some of my fishy mistakes. At least you've got the internet (there was no interent back when I did those things) and the desire to learn how to do it right.

So don't beat yourself up to much for this one. There are way worse things than cycling a 5g with a single betta in it. With the plants in there and the water changes - I wouldn't worry too much about it at all.

You picked a nice looking fishy too. He's quite the handsom fellow.
 
Thanks so much jaylin. :)
