I have two bettas, and I felt sorry for the one in the smaller plain container, so he got an upgrade. I had an old Tetra 1.5g in the attic, and the light and pump from my old sw pico. I went shopping at Elegant, and my betta doesn't look so sad any more.







I leave the light on for about 12 hours a day. I can't seem to get a timer to work with it. I dose a few drops of flourish excel when I think about it, every few days. I do weekly water changes like I would on any betta tank. My cat helps out by removing small amounts of water daily, and I top off as needed.
