    In light of the recent tanks threads...here's mine!

    I have had this ten gallon for quite a while, and I've had both my Betta boys for about 4 months now. I don't think I ever posted pictures of Buzz or Chippewa, and if I did that would have been when I got them. They're both doing very well. My tank is nothing big or fancy and the divider makes it quite ugly but it is a basic ten gallon. It doesn't have much of a theme and both sides are kind of just thrown together. I really wanted to get into the whole planted tank community but I don't have any luck with plants and I think it requires more time than I have but I have a few pictures of the Bettas as well as their setup.

    The blue and red one is Chippewa and Buzz is the pineapple boy. The last photo was just a comparison of what a little TLC does for these guys. That was the difference of what he looked like in the pet store and a week after being in my care. The difference isn't that drastic but it made me very happy to see him so much healthier.

    Hope you enjoyed my little tank!

    Awww, what a handsome fishy he has become! And I had to smile at them facing each other through the divider!

    Hey, don't keep putting it down, tank looks good! Water is clear, fish are happy and look healthy!

    Chippewa is quite the stunner, isn't he? And the difference in color is amazing.

    Buzz is very handsome and likes his alligator, ha haaa.

    Thanks for sharing these photos!

    LOL Sandie, you've been saying that since I put the divider in. I just really despise the Divider.

    Thank you both! Yeah, to be honest, Chippewa is gorgeous and I think he knows it. Buzz is just very unique. He's a little bit dull-colored but I really like his coloring. He was in the very back of the shelf... I just had to have him. He's got a ton of personality. He is a great community tank fish, I've only seen him flare once or twice. He doesn't give Chips any noticed LOL.

    Gotta warn ya, you won't regret it BUT you can't just have one... I got Buzz, fully intending for him to be the only Betta and making a community tank with Corycats and the like, and a week later I came home with Chippewa LOL. Kept him in a separate 2.5 gallon but then I just moved him into the divided ten gallon. They're very addictive little fish.
