Is this similar to your "flushing" technique you talked about with fry water changes. Pulling and adding at the same time?

Ps awesome song choice!!

I have never worked with bettas. I do think they are some of the most beautiful fish in the freshwater world.....Josie

They were my first project in the world of raising and breeding freshwater fish. I love them, I truly do and should have a few to head to the show next month.

Discus, Angels and Bettas are my top favorites! Looking forward to starting my discus journey soon once I get the new
Fish room done. Taking forever!

This is the only tank I have that has gravel. This is a good question. When I purchased the tank at glass cages it took 6 men to bring the monster in and set it up. We realized after we leveled it off that tuning the mammoth on its side to paint was out of the question. So I needed to stop the glare so I decided to use gravel. I don't use a traditional python to cleN the gravel I use a 24" Python tube with clear tubing that dumps in the waste container ....Josie

My Favorite Tank Hey Josie, Do you have any recommendations on where i can find some Cardinal Tetras? Haven't had any luck locating any around here......

I really like the "flush". I do the same with most of my tanks since they won't drain all the way to the bottom.
