Ep.8 Cat Grass Betta Tank (Cat Tries Cat Grass) No filter, No CO2, NO ferts Nano Tank

Kartoffel is a wild betta species called Mahachai betta. Growing cat grass was super easy. It was probably the easiest thing to grow.
The spinach flowering was a surprise. I suppose the plant was on its last leg, so it decided to flower before it withered away.
Our cat didn’t eat the cat grass. I tried multiple times and she wasn’t interested in it at all.

Cat grass is usually oats, wheat, or rye. The light is on 13 hours a day to promote fast growth.

(*For salinity, I’m going by the 1 table spoon per liter rule. However, depending on the size of the table spoon, you might want to try 1 table spoon, or 1 1/4 table spoon…and so on. You might want to experiment and see how much salt yields the best result. The brine shrimp will live for 3~4 days max. You can just siphon out only the amount you want during each feeding.)

That fish is so cute! I rescued a betta from my job when they decided to have an office “pet” and not take care of it. He got stuck under a submarine decoration and ripped his top fin off. I took him home and have had him for about 4 months now. He swims a bit odd, but he’s doing so much better. I’m not nearly as educated in tanks like this but I’m sure he’s better off with me than in that office.

Escape, while offering respite, is no cure. Curing anxiety is done by exposure. The more you withdraw and seek comfort in a happy space, the smaller that space will become and the less you will be able to function outside it.
