I was given one of these tanks for my birthday: Water Garden 2.0 (by my parents who know me all too well!)
and I'm preparing to adopt a betta! It's a 3 gallon tank and it comes with a pump and this garden thing on the top is supposed to filter the water but I call BS and will probably be cleaning it! The kit comes with a dechlorinator, some gravel and fish food in addition to all the stuff for the planter.
I want to really trick out this aquarium and make it the best habitat possible. So far I think I'll be needing:
Am I missing anything?
I was thinking introduce all of the above, let it marinate, and then go buy my betta. Good idea? @Sheldon13 looking at you!
I've had only a short amount of time to research but also... all I'm doing is researching so don't worry, I'm not in a hurry and I won't go out and get all these creatures until I know it's likely to work!

- a heater,
- a thermometer,
- some kind of creature to help clean and live with my betta like a shrimp or plecko, -- recommendations? I think a marimo moss ball would be really nice and do you think I could also fit any type of catfish or shrimp? or is the tank too small at 3 gallons? Otherwise, maybe a snail?
- and I would LIKE a little underwater plant too. -- recommendations? if I get a moss ball that may be enough plantish life for me. I don't want to crowd anybody.
