Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply place the floating ball unit into your aquarium, ensuring the mirror face is angled toward your betta's preferred swimming area. It is compatible with most freshwater betta tanks. To maintain the mirror, gently rinse it with warm tap water during your weekly water change. Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals, as these can leave residues harmful to your aquatic life. Always inspect the unit periodically to ensure the acrylic remains clear and free of sharp edges.
