recently got my hands on a sweet new Half moon betta at my LFS with a 3g deep blue tank. got the rocks at a beach locally. Let me know what you guys think!
That is one gorgeous beta! I also love the look of the oversized rock erupting out of the tank. How is it anchored? Did you find it just like that, or break a longer rock in half?
My only suggestion would be perhaps shifting the rocks slightly to the left. But, really, it's awesome! :smile:
The rock i found just as it was, A large beach near were i live has a piles of broken up rock that has been eroded in cool ways. lots of very nice rock in every shape and size u can imagine. all of it has a greenish hue to it, or purple one or the other. its quite interesting really i think it might amethyst mixed with slate or something along thos lines.
but as for the placement i was debating moving it slightly over but when i did it didn't look quite right. but now that its all planted i might try and move it over and see what it looks like haha. thanks for the suggestion tho always good to have a second opinion

I really like your layout - great work! the bright green background and the bright sand with the dominate middle rock(s) all tie together well not to mention the vivid colors from your betta - great job
I bought one of these tanks with the intention of de-rimming it. They are of much better quality than the Marineland 2.5g. The black silicone gives it a unique look. I like your "overgrown" rock theme, will try something similar with mine. Good job!
yea thats the exact reason i got this tank. the black silicone really sets it off. when i first bought it i was intending to de-rim it but i didn't want to chance cracking it haha.
yea i never run a heater or filter when ever i have a betta. my other betta ive had for almost 4 years with out ether and hes happy as ever. my tanks in my house stay at about 74 degrees maybe a little warmer so theirs no need for a heater anyways.

You know, I really think the rimmed tanks wouldn't be so bad if the rims weren't so thick. If they only came down equal width of the silicone seams then it would create a much better impression on the tank. Giving it a "bold" effect, so to speak.
On topic:
This tank rocks. So simple yet executed very well.
Today i moved the rock over a little bit as suggested by some people, i think it def helped the look of the tank a bit. hoping once the hydro take root it will take off as it has in my 10g! could look really nice in this tank.
Fin came out of his hiding spot to pose for a late night picture
its quite funny how bettas always jam themselves into a spot and just sleep or rest or what ever bettas do when they just chill for a long while haha. and they always go back to that same spot like its a bed! both of my bettas do it

Well, if you turned it into a walstad tank, i think you could get away with shrimp. Youd need to up your plant mass though! IMO smaller tanks look so much better filled with plants! Have you tried shrimpies with your betta?
never tired shrimps with this betta id have to try it out once the plant mass builds up more. we will see in a month or so what happens with this little tank.
Very cool, like the rock and plant out of the water.
What is the plant that's out of the water?
