Not yet... but that's what's going in my 10gal once I set it back up... I've rather fallen for Betta coccina ATM but that might change by the time I'm ready for a pair.

a few monthes ago i had a male patriot CT, and a female cambodian VT with a little blue. i spawned them and kept 2 of the spawn, 1 in a seperate tank and the other in the community tank. they were both males, cambodian, one with green fins, the other with light red and blue (like a blurry patriot), they had VTs but with fringy ends. the green one died however after exploring my canister filter via surface skimmer (i never new he would even attempt squeezing in there, but he did, couldnt get out, and i had to take him out and block the opening). the parents i had to give away (mom made me), and now i have just the one, but he is young, pretty and very active (suprisingly so for a betta).

wow, the grass looks happy it grew, a LOT. and i guess the bettas like it since they have more places to explore and hide from the camera.
