Are you looking to bring a colorful aquatic oasis to your desk top or small space? The Fluval Flex 9 Gallon Glass Aquarium is a stylish way to house your tropical beauties, and the pros at Josh's Frogs have paired it with all the other supplies you'll need to keep a wide variety of tropical freshwater fish. Depending on species, up to 12 small fish can be housed in this setup, including tetras, platies, cory catfish, otto cats, and snails.

1. Fluval FLEX 9 Gallon Glass Aquarium Kit (White)

This stylish tank has a lot going for it. From it's slick curved front to integrated filtration and light fixture, everything about this kit looks great. It provides a very modern look, and the quality glass tank provides plenty of room for your fish to swim and grow!

2. Small Aquarium Heater and Thermometer

This flat heater should be set for 78F. It can be put in the back filter compartment to keep it out of site. Use the plastic thermometer to check temperatures daily. If the water temperature ever falls below 76F or above 80F, adjust the heater.

3. Aquatic Plant Substrate

Growing live plants starts with a quality substrate! The dark black color will make your betta and plants really pop, too!

4. Manzanita Branch

Manzanita is one of the best woods for the aquarium. It's dense and will not break down, and it will sink quickly. This piece of wood will initially float, so just weigh it down underwater or give it several days to sink. It will release some tannins into the water, which will make it take on a brown color. This will go away with water changes and does not harm anything.

5. Live Aquatic Plants

Live plants can easily smuggle in pest snails, algae, and other undesirables. Tissue cultured plants are grown in a sterile environment, which means you no longer have to be concerned about introducing baddies whenever you bring in something green. They're also small, meaning they'll ship for cheap and grow in great.

6. Aquatic Plant Fertilizers

Live plants will get some nutrition from uneaten fish food and poop, but these easy to use fertilizers will make sure your plants grow swift and strong.

7. Tropical Community Fish Foods

Nutrition is as important to bettas as it is for all fish, and these various foods will keep a wide variety of tropical freshwater fish well fed!

8. Josh's Frogs Dechlorinator Tap Water Conditioner (4 oz)

Use this dechlorinator to make tap water safe for your betta. It'll bind and remove dangerous chlorine and chloramines that can harm your betta's gills. Follow the directions on the label.
