Little aquarium on my desk at work. Click on photos for larger versions. Comments welcomed :-) Please note that the betta seen in these photos is in fishy heaven. The next message down in the thread will have photos of Konan, the newest resident Betta.











More photos available here.

What a pretty tank....How big is it? I love all the green!

The previous resident Betta passed away just before Christmas [of unknown causes]. Here is the new guy -- rescued from a tiny cup of filthy water tossed out of sight and sitting in the dark for who-knows-how-long (long enough at least to no longer have the will to even swim around). He took up residence in Betta Haven about two weeks ago. His name is Konan -- for his habit of hunting baby MTS snails and eating them and, also, his habit of swimming around all excited and flaring at everything in sight.

Oh, and he's more dark purple and orange now.

Nice! Can we have a full tank shot?
I have a similiar size tank that I want to put a betta in, and you make your tank look so much bigger than it is!

Great tank. I love it. Maybe someday I'll do the planted thing. Is it hard to keep the substrate clean with all roots?

Fizgig777

Thanks...

You don't "clean" the substrate in a planted aquarium. The plants use that "mess" as food. That's kinda the point of the plants being there Makes maintenance a lot less work.

So you don't vacuum your gravel. That in itself is enticing.

Matt

Yer the point of plants is helping with the cleaning aswell as looking awesome
