congrats! I got my sister one of those little aquariums for her birthday... does the filter pour water over the top and trickle into the tank?? They had one set up at the pet store here with a little beta and a stalk of bamboo. It was so relaxing!!

My sister had a betta once... They're pretty, huh? That's the only fish we were ever able to keep alive for over a week...

Congratulations on your new companion! :)
