Beautiful betta. What else do you keep? Plants and livestock? 
I've never seen a marble betta, I bet he's awesome.
I only have one tank right now, an 8 gallon.
I'm already craving another one >.<
I just have snails & fire red shrimp & rainbow shrimp
Wisteria, bacopa caroliniana, hornwort, dwarf baby tears, anubias barteri, willow moss and some hygrophila i forgot the name of

it's a fluval flora. i love it, so happy i got it.
i've always had 20g and up and i think i like the small tanks more. they're more difficult to keep good water parameters but i like that about it.
if you decide to keep shrimp in your next tank let me know
maybe i'll keep fish again and we can do a trade

I love the 3 gallon, i'd love to see updated pics of the tanks. esp the 10 gal w/ water in it
this is my ever-changing tank
as you can see, wisteria dominates it but the shrimp love to hang out on it
i'm absolutely brand-new to shrimp as well. i'm learning new things every day. they are a lot more difficult than i though they'd be but they are so entertaining and adorable i don't regret it one bit.

I have the multi-tank syndrome. but i also suffer from low-money syndrome. haha
i'm not sure yet but i think i'm going to try a 5 or 6 gallon next
which I'm also going to jam-pack full of plants
When people come over and see my tank they don't think anything is in it because it's so densely planted. I love it!

Nothing wrong with that.I like a good jungle. There are bad jungles too but I like a good one. I think I am slowly getting to that point in my 30 gallon.I have the multi-tank syndrome. but i also suffer from low-money syndrome. haha

And yeah aquarium keeping, at least when doing it right, is not cheap. The great thing is though you don't have to spend top $$$ on everything to get top results.
I only wish there was more interest in the hobby around Maine and more LFS. It seems all the decent LFS here are a majority salt water. Heck, there is even a place in Auburn that is half a convenience store and half a reef shop LOL.
Easy Aquariums has potential though, depending on how much they expand their freshwater. But it seems like the money is in the salt water. Need some shops around here to show what can be done in fresh water with plants.
Hopefully mine falls under the good jungle category ...
it really sucks no one really is into fw tanks here. i mean we're the only ones actively posting on this thread
where are the other maine people?

I think there are plenty others, otherwise the stores would be out of business. I just think most of them do not go to forums or maybe just are not interested in plants.Hopefully mine falls under the good jungle category ...

I would just guess that most of them just aren't obsessed with the hobby
but i think it's a healthy obsession.
hi joanstone!
but i think it's a healthy obsession.
hi joanstone!
Agreed!I would just guess that most of them just aren't obsessed with the hobby

hi joanstone!
And yes I would says yours is looking like a good jungle
A lot of Maine hobbies suffer compared to other places. There is only one real massive Hobby Shop left (Internet has killed off most shops) Most paintball places are hours in between.
Southern Maine isn't so bad because you got larger cities closer together and NH and MA not far away.
I couldn't imagine trying to run an aquarium store in Maine. Prob why most deal with a majority of their store being marine.
At least 99% of the Walmarts here dont deal with live fish anymore. I am not one of those people who wont shop at chain stores by no means LOL. But I do try to spread out my money.
