I have my betta in a 3 gallon tank with an inch-long snail (I think it's a mystery snail). The substrate is standard sized aquarium gravel, colored black. When I replace water in the tank I use a small airline hose to remove old water plus vacuum the gravel a bit. (I can't use a regular aquarium siphon to vacuum because my tank is too small.) My problem is this. Using the airline hose, it is either vacuuming up little gravel pieces or getting gravel pieces stuck inside it, which ...

Curly and Squiggle have built a bubblenest each quite big for the size of the boys...amazing! A few photos of Curly's bubble nest first: How proud does Curly look,lol! Squiggle's bubblenest is more in the silk plants but still looks good!

I moved a girl next door after he got bored of the ping pong ball and started biting again and it seems to be distracting him enough that I see some regrowth in the missing parts. He's enjoying showing off and blowing bubbles, but will this stress out the girl? Like will she get into eggy mode all the time?
