Oh yes the saucer. It was in her original tank to provide her some cover. She grew attached to it, freaked out when I moved her from a 1 gallon to the 5 and her saucer wasnt there. Besides it corrals the java ferns.
Im sure this set up will change again. It's in my kitchen so I look at it all the time. Bettas make great dish washing companions,they cant leave!
