Where Do I Go From Here
0
Hi guys,
thank you all for the speedy replies to my first thread
I've read through the ebook and now I'm wondering what to do with my current situation.
As of now all the fish have died save for my small purplish betta.
I have the 8L bowl with 1 small air stone.
What are the most essential pieces of equipment I Need?
Should I keep the betta in this size bowl to begin with?
If yes how do I go about doing a cycle since the betta is here i.e. fishless vs fish cycle?
I was naive when I began, I don't want to be stupid as I continue.
Thank you all in advance.

2 gallons is too small for even the Betta. I would find it a home or pick up a 5-10 gallon tank. I paid $8 for my 5 gallon, slapped a cheap filter on it and heater and done.......for maybe $20.
I would not get another fish until I had the tank for them. Buying equipment for a 2 gallon tank is simply a waste of money when it's inadequate to start with.
It simply is not far to fish to buy them without having a proper home for them.

this is depressing, less than two months and everything has gone from excitement to death!

Sorry for the loss - for the future, remember, if the fish are in distress a 50% min to 90% water changes every day can save them if the issue is fish waste due to lack of a uncycled filter. Cycling a filter takes 3 - 6 weeks and will be required. If you do want fish, consider this and, of course, try and get a tank large enough to support the number of fish you want.
Best of luck in the future
Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

I will 2nd & 3rd the above. Even though a small tank might have pictures on the packaging showing fish in it, that doesn't mean you should put those fish in it - that's marketing only, not reality.
