The first picture is the "Before" picture and the second picture is the "After" picture.

I was supposed to be making a 5g planted tank for a new betta, but Dexter had a slight problem with the bridge and so I just redid the 10g tank instead. There was a hole in the top of the bridge that I thought went all the way through, but in actuality it opened into the inside of the bridge. Well Dex swam in to it and couldn't get out!! I yanked the bridge out and decided to try this instead.

Unfortunately, now the 29g tank is missing it's centerpiece... but I have two pieces of driftwood soaking. They should be able to be added to it over the next few days. I considered putting the bridge in the 29g, but then I thought if Dex can get stuck in the hole I am sure the othe fish can too.

And, the 5g is going to have to wait until I get another paycheck. I can't afford to buy any more plants

Luckily, I am happy with how the 10g tank turned out.

Looks Awesome I love the Natural Look there isn't any thing better then natural IMO.

I like both of them, you can always put silicone (aquarium of course) to fill in the hole on the bridge so none of the fish can get in it........

Thanks! I will see about getting the silicone and perhaps make the bridge the centerpiece of my 29g.

Are those plants real? (in the new tank) If they are what kind of lights are you using and what are the plants? They look cool! Nice tank!

Great tank - I think the natural look is really pretty. I love your betta's name... Heeheehee it's cute.

I'm not actually sure if the lights are good for plants or not, but I "think" they are. Hehe... if not, I can always buy new ones. They are Eclipse Ultra Violet 10w, 120v, 60Hz

Nice looking tank. Curious though, the grassy plants look a lot like the "mondo grass" or "kyoto grass" they sell at Petco. This is not an aquatic plant and will just rot in the tank.

JaneAustenAddict

They are Kyoto Grass.

Haha, I just edited my above post to say its also sometimes labled Kyoto Grass. Its the same thing, non-aquatic.

Thanks for the heads up. What do you suggest I replace them with? I need something kinda soft so the betta's tail doesn't get snagged on it.
