I'm kinda proud that this setup turned out well! It's my first time doing a backwater tank ๐!
It's been around 3.5 months (cycle, seasoning, and monitoring after adding my juvenile betta in) and I think everything is going great so far!
I think he's maturing well too cos his adult pattern is appearing/darkening ๐
(*coughs* I had issues at first cos I used the filter cartridge from my other betta tank to get the cycle going... not realising that there's activated carbon in it ๐
I kept adding almond leaves and wondering where my tannins were dissappearing to until I cut the cartridge open and was like "ooh..")
^ he's always begging for food ๐
He's a Betta macrostoma, a wild betta fish native to the region I live in (He's not wild caught, his parents were bred in captivity)
#I have 2 Johnnys now ๐. 1 is named after John Wick#and 1 is named after Johnny Silverhand ๐คฃ#I'm sorry Johnny I love you but you can't keep your mouth shut sometimes so this fish has a big mouth like you ๐#personal#betta fish#fish
