Hahaha.....black bars are RUTHLESS! They try to do the McNasty with anything and everything. I have one in my 29 while he awaits his turn in my endler tank, and he won't stop with the female platy. Nuts....

Starrlamia.....awesome tank! Definitely an inspiration!

Thanks guys!

Bettas are funny creatures. My endlers never chased anything but tail :P (that was bad I know)

Neat little Betta! I have his twin brother

And he does like to munch on my baby shrimp but its the way of the world, healthy shrimp population can support one Betta's appetite on top of the super yummy flake he likes to eat!

Ha ha he doesn't get much flake so is pretty buff, I bought him as a runt with chewed fins and looking ragged, and he is now a jewel of the tank! Big tank tho so he has his work cut out finding the shrimp .... Liking the pics as the tank settles, my favorite bit seeing everything come clear, slowly

Cool scape. What really makes it cool is the fact that it appears to be sitting on a desk or table. If so I would imagine that would be the way to sit comfortably close and see everything. I like to see how people make use of their space and make aquariums fit in. I constantly brain storm trying to find space to set up another tank. Now i'm wondering if i really need a monitor......

Thanks lol it is on my dining room table, unfortunately my bf has stipulated that I can only have what fits on it while still being able to eat at it. So naturally it also has a 10g. I would love to find more space for tanks but there really isn't much.
