EDIT: JUST BOUGHT ONE

Mine loves this

Mine loves his. I just got him the smallest one - this one.

(I’m no expert but) I’m pretty sure bettas almost always love bigger spaces as long as they have plenty of clutter to hide in. I’d recommend getting some fake silk plants to provide some more hiding areas. Beware of ordering silk plants from amazon though, they’re usually not made of silk and/or aren’t as pictured. I love and definitely recommend the silk plants from Petco! They’re usually between $4 and $6 each or you could get a 3-pack for $10. :)



You could also consider getting them a floating betta log or some kind of cave-like thing that isn’t see-through to hide in. Just make sure any rough edges are filed down so this little guy doesn’t hurt himself further.



As for the potential fin-biting: if your current treatment doesn’t work, do NOT add aquarium salt directly into the tank. While it is generally true that aquarium salt helps to heal fins, it is best to set up a separate tank with aquarium salt that you can put your buddy in for a few minutes (will have to re-set it up every time). This is because the aquarium salt can (and usually will) disrupt your biofilter! The stuff I use and has worked wonders for my boys is Seachem’s StessGuard . It’s safe to add directly into your tank and it’s okay for use with pretty much any fish, plants, salt/freshwater, you name it.



Edit: spelling

I don't use one myself, but plenty of other users here have them, haven't heard anything bad so far. Though if you're worried, there are plenty of alternatives. you can get a floating log (though I did hear stories about that one losing color).

You can also make something yourself by gluing plants (javafern or anubias), small pieces of driftwood, or small decorations to a suction cup. there is specific aquarium safe plant glue, though regular (aquarium safe) sillicone or super glue (the one that contains cyanoacrylate, I use this one) also work well and won't kill your fish. Be sure to let it cure/dry though!

Very nice! I really like how you changed the driftwood.

Once you’re ready for fish I’m sure your betta would love a floating log!

I have this one. I didn't buy it online though, I have seen them at pretty much every pet store!

My betta loves his floating log: https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Floating-Betta-Log/dp/B0027ITKBS/ref=sr_1_37?crid=30N8IK59X9W1Q&keywords=betta+hammock&qid=1570475799&sprefix=betta+%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-37

Yep.

Sorting the review by most recent I don't see any recent reviews saying that it peeled off, some say it has sharp edges, some don't mention them.

If you buy one from amazon, i would put it in a glass or bowl for a week or so, and if it started to peel or the surface roughened up, just send it back. Amazon has a great return policy. :-)

This one by ZooMed. It's one of the more popular ones, I found it at Petco

Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0027ITKBS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484168848&sr=8-1&keywords=betta+log&dpPl=1&dpID=51JUtrggGCL&ref=plSrch

This one floats and the same company makes a similar looking sinking log.

Yes, some Betta really like it. I gave you the Amazon link. Plants, wood, etc.

I used only ZooMed's, it is not marked as betta safe, and even if it was, it should be true: it will not kill betta... See reviews on Amazon for both: logs and betta hammocks.

Maybe a floating betta Log? https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Floating-Betta-Log/dp/B0027ITKBS/

Something like that.

Hope you get him a 10 gallon or bigger with plants he can rest on.
My betta loved this :

I'll share assume of the names I had for my bettas over the years :

Captain Morgan

Gilligan

And

Master Betta

The filter's good! It'd be too stressful to forgo the filter and have to do 100% water changes to keep up.

Awww, pretty! :] Look here or here for the betta log. There are tons of places to find them, though.

I have the same tank and I'm using the Aqueon Pro 50 watt. It's been perfect for 4 months.

I replaced the filter with a sponge filter.

My betta loves this:

No problem! I'm sure your betta will make it fine through the cycle with some of the old substrate. Betta are pretty tough. Just make sure to do small water changes everyday to keep ammonia and nitrite down.

I got the log off Amazon. My betta uses it often so it was certainly money well spent. If you decide to get it, consider adding this to the cart as well. It is what most people use to test their water and is much more reliable than strips. You can find both the log and the kit at Petsmart but I find that it's cheaper to buy on Amazon.

These fake ones are fantastic

If you want to see if your betta will accept a more natural-looking sleeping place, you could try this Zoo Med floating log. Mine love them! I would just add it in, give it a month or so, and see if he switches over or still prefers the basket.

Sounds good. I'd second what other people say about other water conditioners though, and if you have the funds pick up some high quality testing kits. I also got one of these for my betta to sleep in and he loves it https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zoo-Med-BL-10E-Floating-Betta/dp/B0027ITKBS
