betta is okay

I checked his tank parameters- so far there is no sign of a mini cycle

the buces settled to the bottom- enough substrate particles clinging to them they weighed down, but all the stems and crypts and others not tied to hardscape are a floating jumble. I had to bump the heater up a notch, the basement is cooler and it wasn't keeping the tank warm enough on the prior setting.

Ruby doesn't seem to mind the move now, he's settled right in. He'll have another day of upheaval when I do get a stand and can rinse and put back in the substrate . . . .
