The flow through the sections is good but a gentle flow so it will be good for young betta babies around 2 months old....Until that point they will have to be jarred and yes I have already started my collection of Mason jars lol I'm also buying sponge filters.....
A lady was selling 12 dozen of 3 different sizes here for $5 for the whole lot
my problem is I don't know what sizes I need. SHe said she had 1c and 3c...um what the heck does that mean?

Ok another senior moment! I was only seeing the side to side dividers and not the front to back dividers. I have been staring at it forever trying to figure out how everybody was seeing so many separate spaces.Carol
Nice tank

I know Ty is getting interested in the betta more now too. I think if we are happy our men are happy. When I am not happy he knows it and doesn't want to deal with it.
I was one of those spoiled brats growing up, ya know the ones who expected her parents to get her what she wanted, when she wanted it.
SO I think I may give off that same vibe when I want something now as an almost 37 year old woman. But no slamming doors if I don't get my own way.

That is soooo cool that Steve's helping so much with the tank! What kind of top did he get? I think it was Rose who suggested a glass top with a long hanging light over it, which I thought was a lovely idea.

Sounds like you're getting more and more serious about breeding! I hope you go for it. You could be so successful and make such fantastic babies.

Well it is a lovely tank and you can have a lot of great babies in there. Good luck on whatever you plan with it. It sounds great! And it always helps to have a helpful hubby.
