Betta Oto Amano(+RCS cull) Bowl!

jdm68 · 12-16-2011, 05:29 AM

So after really enjoying my shrimp bowl(see link in signature) I decided to make another, except this time put a betta in it. Then, I put some amanos in it. Then, I culled my cherry population in my 10g(also in sig.) and put some into here. Then I added some Otos. Here it is.

Specs:
~2 gal sphere bowl
MGOCPM w/Play Sand cap
13W CFL @ 5000k
Zoomed 501 filter
Sits on top of a seedling heat mat

Flora:

Fauna:
1 - Male Crowntail Betta(Norbert)
3 - Otocinclus

The orchids that sit between the bowls.

How the betta--hunting the cherries? I'd be surprised if he wasn't culling them for you....mine adore fresh shrimp.

What a lovely bowl. I'm having such trouble with mine right now...
I added in MGOPS. I raised the substrate because it was too low for me last time. And now I think its too high.. lol..
I wish I could scape round tanks as well as this.

hey, do you know the kh and gh of the bettas bowl? on trying to make a data table of water hardness and crowntail ray curling to see if there actually is a correlation or not.

i love the bowl btw. do you have CO2 in there for the HC, or did you get it to grow without it?

inka4041 · 02-28-2012, 09:56 PM

Love these setups. The bowl looks killer in that last shot!

Isn't a 2g too small for an oto, much less 3? Water parameters are stable? My 2g still gives me spikes now and then, and I only have 1 female betta with some snails.
