My daughter was trying to convince us to get a tortoise (!!!) for a few months, but then switched gears and wanted a betta fish. Figured that was a lot easier to deal with so we caved.
Spent several weeks doing research and learning about how to actually care for a fish rather than just see how long they can last. Picked up a 10 gallon tank kit, got some live plants, and set everything up.
So far, so good. The water is testing at decent levels and the fish after a couple days of adjustment is very active. We swapped the filter out from the included box to a sponge filter with air pump, and that seems to make it easier for him to get around (and keeps the water cleaner too).
She picked out a cool looking tangerine koi betta. Been kinda fun learning something new!
