So due to some crappy circumstances I have had to take my betta out of the 33 gallon so that I could help him get better by doing daily water changes. Currently he it in a one gallon no water movement, filter, nothing, but in the bathroom so he is warm.
In the 33 he never made a bubble nest, would once in awhile dart around but mostly hang out behind the heater. Now in the 1 gallon he has made a bubble nest. I know I have read that just because they make one doesn't mean that they are happy.
I honestly do not like keeping them in anything that small but now I am stating to wonder if a smaller solo tank would be better for him in the long run. I have my other one in a 5 gallon hex and he just loves it. (so I think) Or should I put him back in the big tank once things get sorted out? I will also be adding many plants to the 33 once everyone is good again.
I am also wondering if there is a way to clean plants that have been in a sick tank or can I never transfer them to a healthy tank???
