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

Something has happened to Steve.....He has been making stuff for the tank all morning lol....He went and got a top for it and is begging me to set it up....He keeps saying this is fun doing this together.....This is seriously blowing my mind....I wonder if he's been a bad boy! Either that or he is really liking living here alone with just Lil O'l me lol

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.

Sometimes I wish he were my neighbor lol.....Today I'm glad he's my husband....He is making me really happy right now.....Now don't get me wrong, he is still running back and forth to the sports on TV lol!

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.
