so i have to move in a few weeks and half of my tanks are walstad tanks… how do i keep them established when i have no filters in any of them? they just have air stones and i know i need to empty out the water pretty much entirely when i move (about a 20-30 minute drive) so how do i make sure my beneficial bacteria and all that doesn’t die off? should i saran wrap the tanks and mist them periodically until i can refill them? if anyone’s had their own experience with this, how did it go?

I currently have a male crowntail betta in a topfin 3 gallon tank. (tank linked above) I’ve had issues on and off with it leaking, it was originally given to me by my dad because he bought it for his fish, had it for a year or so and it leaked a lot so he upgraded his tank and gave me that one. I haven’t had much issues with it myself but recently it’s been pouring out water from the lid from condensation + filter. So I’m done with it, since I had to unplug the filter after waking up for the past 3 days in a row due to water being all over my bed and desk and floor and the filter being very loud because it couldn’t pick up any more water.
Now, to my main point and question. Are there any tanks with similar dimensions, or slightly bigger? The reason my betta is in a 3 gallon instead of a 5 gallon was because it was previously a hospital tank, he has very big fins and has a hard time getting around and I have it set up with lots of plants and resting spaces and he’s very happy and thriving and I feel he wouldn’t do as well in a bigger 10 gallon like my other bettas. So I’m looking for at least a 3 gallon tank, no larger than maybe 7 gallons? But preferably around 4-6gal. The current tank dimensions is 9.6 IN L X 8.8 IN W X 10.9 IN H (24.3 X 22.3 X 27.6 cm). So anything similar to that or slightly bigger since the table he’s on isn’t much bigger. Any help would be appreciated since I haven’t found much luck finding any tanks that would fit my table.
I’ve been looking to upgrade anyways, and I have only had this guy for a few months and planned to upgrade soon anyways before anyone comes at me saying the tank is too small and whatnot. I’m open to feedback just don’t want to be attacked like people tend to do here😭. I’ve owned bettas since I was a kid, so please keep in mind I didn’t just run to the store and grab the first fish and tank I could find and throw him in.

looking for people to connect with.. i don’t talk to a lot of people so i’m trying to get out there and meet people! I’m from the united states and i spend so much time alone i think it would just be nice to get to know new people.. DM me or reply!

so one of my tanks broke out with epistylis… all of my fish died except 3 which i moved to another tank. my question is, are my plants safe to move to another tank with fish? do i need to sanitize them and if so how? i fear bleach dipping will kill them so im wondering should i just quarantine them for a bit? or if i reuse them for this tank, by the time it cycles in a month or two would they be free from epistylis?
