Thank you! the tank is currently down. After my son was born I lacked the time to keep it pristine. At the first algae bloom I got it sorted and gave the betta and the plants to a friend and stored the tank until my son does not require so much attention. When he is old enough to appreciate it I will set it back up with a fishless cycle with new plants so the family can enjoy a small beautiful aquascape in the living room. I will start a 250 gal reef in the man cave then too!

I got the light and the bulb at target. I am not using a standard tank light. It is a sunlight spectrum compact florescent that is in an architects desk lamp.

He was not a $1 fish, the tank price is close. It is not about the 1 fish, well a little, I like them to have a nice home, but it is about the aquascape and the live plants to me, and being able to have a beautiful, relaxing water feature.

no, you need to use aquatic grasses, regular grass can not live submerged.

@MrSummerisHOT It will do ok. If you can find a daylight spectrum fluorescent, it will do better.

@belliniable Thank you. Plant Zone is some cheap aquatic plant fertilizer that my LFS has. I get all my plants at my LFS, one of them has a great selection.

@Cybersix1980 Nothing fancy, just some leaf zone with each water change, all the plants are not picky

@MsBettaFish Shrimp need to be kept in groups of 3 or more, they are to be treated like schooling fish in that regard. 5+ is best for them. I feed them flake food twice a week, the rest of the time they graze algae

I have male 2 bettas each in a 5 gallon Hex tank...I love your aquarium setups...I think this one is my favorite....I also have been looking for that japanese lantern ornament.... I checked Petsmart online but they didn't have that design...Is it made of rock or plastic? How much did it cost?

@nosyiam I am partial to Marineland Stealth heaters, 25 watt in your 5 gallon will be fine, the 50 is overkill. They are fully submersible, and inside a plastic casing that makes them shatter proof!

@teenie331 I have been lucky in this tank, not in the other. It depends on the personality of the betta. Zeus will give chase, but only killed one baby that he ate whole. The rest have been doing well for several months now.

@3mmerz - I did not remove anything. I just did not include the extending pieces. It sits perfectly upright. The only mods I made were to the outflow. I used a 1/2 of a soda bottle as a flow diffuser.

Thank you! He reacted very well to the change. immediately exploring. He lays on the moss ball often now, unless he notices people paying attention to the tank, then he swims like in the video.
