What does your Betta live in?

This is just another random/boredom thread. I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's Betta(s) lives in. Please post a pic of it's 'home'. Here are mine:)

Here is Sushi's tank...

I've changed it since the picture, the lei (sp?) has been taken down because he used to 'fight' with it.

I got mine from Petsmart but I've also seen them at Wal-Mart and Petland (I don't shop there at all anymore though so I don't know if they still have them.)

I have the same tank as you chrissycat21, Alexa has one as well. She bought mine when she got Yuki for me, then the next day went back and got one for her betta since it was such a great price.

Sushi is being moved to my old five gallon tank, I have a picture of it when it had some of my old fish in it. The pleco is now with my uncle who has a 75 gallon tank and so are the Albino Cory catfish, but the gold fish, Goldy, passed away. :( He was around 5 years old and was won at a carnival. (I'm assuming he was being sold as a feeder fish)???

I have the same as you.
I got mine at PetsMart as well. It was only $9 something - came with rocks, plant, food, and water conditioner stuff.

Draco is a 'FantaSea' 1.6 gallon tank with a dragon in it. His pic is posted on the Pet Name: D thread.

The other two are in a MiniBow 2.5. Here is a pic of it, Satine is on the left and Outback is on the right.

I have been thinking about getting the Minibow 2.5. Do you like it? It is hard to take care of? I was wondering if it is bad for the two bettas to be able to see each other all the time. Please let me know!

Robin, it can be VERY stressful for two males to be in constant view of each other. They release stress hormones (adrenaline most likely) when another male is in sight. I'm sure there are some males that do ok with each other in sight, but I can't imagine always having mine stressed like that.

I believe they do make bowls with a clear divider and an extra black divider so that you can let them flare for a bit each day, and then give them a rest.

Frank is in a regualr 5 gallon aquarium with his 2 gubbie buds, 2 plecos & an african dwarf frog.

(yes I know plecos get big & it was an accident that I have 2 of them, but they all have homes lined up for when they get big, they are babies right now)

There's actually a LOT of extra room in the tank right now.

Mike is is a 1 gallon tank from Petcetera. I don't have any pictures right now. I'll get some later.

One day I would like to have some pretty bowls with nice decorations and/or plants all over my house with a betta in each one. I know a few people that do that.

I love it! And its the biggest divided betta tank I could find - I feel bad keeping them in something too small. It comes with the filter but I don't use it with the divider. So with that, its just like a regular betta bowl. Its not bad to have the bettas see each other, I find it keeps them active and entertained (plus they will get used to each other after a while and not flare up so much). Just don't fill the water to the very top of the divider and you are all set. I did that once, and I woke up to two bettas on one side. (But they both survied, fins grew back, and are doing great - that was my fault, not the products).
