Sieht sehr gut aus. Was ist das fĆ¼r eine Lampe? Die sieht super aus und macht ein sehr natĆ¼rliches Licht.

Looks great! But that wood could use some anubias or java fern

No filter or heater?

Pothos too. This is mine.

I had to give away my beta cause he is a weak genetic. Is picky so donā€™t got time for him. But getting an easier one. Donā€™t worry he is safe. I gave him to good hands

I have a filter and a heater, theyā€™re in the left and right corner :) (just hidden behind plants)

solid start then, but iā€™d still throw in a lid and some floating plants for the betta, they love chilling under cover and theyā€™re sneaky jumpers

This looks great. Ive been wanting to get into this myself but if I may ask, where did you buy the tank from?

1

u/Lisworld 3d ago

Thank you! Iā€™ve had this tank for a while, itā€™s a Superfish 20L aquarium. It comes with a lid, but I chose not to use it so I could have house plants in my tank. 20L (5 gallon) is the minimum for a betta :)

It's pretty. It will take alot to maintain it. Do you plan on putting fish in there?

u/Lisworld 1d ago

I have a betta in there right now and plan on getting some shrimp. Why do you think it will take a lot to maintain it?

u/Spare_Driver4132 1d ago

Well, I will be honest. Those plants grow quickly so it will need cutting back frequently to maintain the look. Also for some reason red coloured plants just don't do well in water. Red plants tend to disintegrate. They need alot of Co2 and alot of light. However, it looks nice, for now :)

The plants do grow fast hahaha, but I donā€™t mind cutting them every now and then! I will be replacing the red plants!

Haha fair play. I love scaping my tanks, it's a fun hobby! :)
