I wonder if it's to do with their natural habitat in the wild? From what I understand of Bettas they breed in small puddles and only separate out when it rains and they can move on to other puddles. As there is no time limit on when this could happen maybe they tolerate each other as a survival...
I used to breed Bettas and haven't ever had any issues keeping males with females as long as the tank is big enough and she has plenty of places to hide. Two females also takes the pressure off one I find but I've never kept them in a really small tank unless it was for breeding. I don't think...
One's a female isn't it just with quite long fins? I've always kept males and females together as long as the females have plenty of places to hide if need be. Females will also live happily together, do a bit of displaying but never get into fistcuffs. Really nice tank as well :thumbup:
Hey nothing wrong with that, I like it. As the saying goes good things can come in small packages. I feel the same about my 5gall shrimp tank. It takes no effort, seems to be no bother and it's a pleasure to sit and look at. My bigger tank requires more work, has some issues if I don't keep on...
Very nice set up. In fact I have been wondering what if any set up would I do next and that there is exactly what I was thinking of an ultimate set up.
Tank this evening. Excuse the photography.

Sneaky...
As always dave it comes down to best guess when dealing with the volume due to hardscape and plant biomass. I have some workings out on my work pc I think if I can find it. The problem is that when working out the volume manufacturers will use the outside dimensions of the tank and full height...
Cheers, the natural look is probably down to me letting things grow where they want to grow give or take a few plants which were positioned to hide hardware. I've always been a fan of jungle scapes, although that's probably just a cop out for knowing nothing about scaping. Something I need to...
Thanks bud, I was going to journal it retrospectively as I've been keeping pictures and info saved. I still might, never done one before. Isn't it strange how looking at your own tank on ukaps makes it look better :) if that was someone else's tank I'd be thinking I wish I had a tank like that...
Snowed in here and my sky is off so though I'd post some pics of my tank which I don't do enough. Not finished yet but. Certainly getting there.

Present day. Thank for looking ,any opinions...
There's also the issue of information changing so people need to keep abreast of the new thinking. People come across a lot of information that is out dated. Back in the day when I first started trying to keep plants books and magazines were your source of information. Very few LFS knew anything...
The Journal part of the forum is where members show off their tanks from start to finish and the Planted Tank Gallery is for members completed tanks who may have not did a journal and just want to show off the finished article.
I have been trying for a decent planted tank seriously now for about 3 years. My first being a disaster and then just when I was getting there a house move forced me into a strip down twice :shock: My latest tank is not yet fully grown in but using all I have learned in this forum each step of...
