I tried to make this tank a month ago, but I messed up with the silicone. I ended up reordering the tank and it took 3 weeks to receive it. It’s custom made. The size of the tank is exactly the same as before. It’s 5 gallons or around 19 liters. LxWxH 35x25x19cm or 14x10x7.5inches.

SETUP video of this tank: youtube.com/watch?v=d-ZWMGdKxJo
The clovers I used to have did pretty well, but then they got spider mites. I tried bunch of different methods, but they kept multiplying. I ended up throwing them out.
His fins have melted away quite a bit compared to before I moved. They are growing back at this point. His fins would rot, then recover, and then rot again. This went on for a while. Maybe it was my tap water, I’m not completely sure. The main reason why I wanted to make him a filtered betta tank is b/c it’s much more stable setup even if the terrestrial plants don’t do well. I’m hoping he fully recovers.
