10 gallon planted betta tank 11/6/12

[Xavier10]

Building up a 10 gallon betta tank. Substrate seachem flourish (15lbs). Small bit of top fin gravel to add a bit of color. Trying to go for a heavily planted with a DIY co2 kit. Small tetra whisper 10i filter. Extremely quiet. Awesome!! T5 fluorescent bulb 18"

Had this tank for years had fish when I was younger no success didn't do my research. Now at age 23 I got the money to do it right.

Also have a 50 gallon with 11 harlequin rasboras 14 tiger barbs 8 panda corydoras. Decently planted with floating plants that I will take some for this plant. The 50 gallon almost a month old just finished cycling.


I want to build around the budha

My 50 gallon

Will be getting plants soon hopefully by weeks end.

Also I do have a heater.

Looking good so far. I have a 10g I'm going to be setting up soon for my fiancé's Betta so I enjoy looking for ideas in other folks tanks! Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the support.

you may want to add some more plants. its looking a bit empty.

if you have mechanical filter media, you can seep up the clearing with seachem clarity or similar floc agent.

Yea I got a lot more plants coming in. This just some I took from my other tank.

Bought a few things waiting for my plants should be another hour. bought this to make a decent baffle for the filter since its a betta tank I'm trying to make the flow as slow as possible. in the filter one on top one on bottom. bought food for the betta. Any ones used these? clear 100% glare from window. Hopefully my plants will get here any minutes.

I use both those foods for my betta and he loves them. He has grown quite a bit since first getting him.

Looking good

Decided to get my gravel ready. cleaned it a good amount real good. got it sitting in warm water. Should get plants in a half an hour.

Finally got my shipment my driftwood and assorted plants.
Threw them in

And it came out decently good.

Got a betta fish. I believe it's a crown tail betta. Had to rescue him from a little bowl. He looks pretty happy.

Crown tails have somewhat short and spiky fins, maybe the angle is wrong but he looks like a veil tail. Beautiful job though!
