	Which to add first?
surprisefish Small Fry Posts: 4 Kudos: 3 Votes: 1 Registered: 19-May-2006	Should I go ahead and plant my aquarium first and then add my fish (male betta) or add the fish and then put the plants in? I'm paranoid about messing everything up. I didn't know if it would be better to do one before the other or not. Thanks for the help in advance. If any of this makes a difference: 10 gallon with eco complete, around 2wpg, and probably just some anubias.

I would probably do the plants first just to have everything finished before adding the betta. Most likely less stressful than doing it after. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Plants help lower the ammonia and nitrite levels in new tanks...your Betta will appreciate that. And it won't stress him out. It is alot easier to plant a tank without fish in it. *Kristin*
