    20-gallon journal *pics added see last post*

    Well I have to re-setup my 20 gallon since the last of my fish passed away and it was over run with pond snails....ANYWAYS!

    I thought I would keep you updated with my 20 gallon Right now it is empty. But as I start setting up the tank again I will get pictures

    Info:
    20 Gallon Tank
    Gravel not sand
    Fake plants
    Whisper 30 gallon filter
    50W heater
    Fish: 8-10 female bettas and maybe some cories later on.

    That sounds good. As soon as my cichlid (hopefully not soon) has past on I would love to have a female tank. Never had female bettas before. Are their personaitys kind of like males?
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    Female bettas are so much fun to have! Especially in a really nice planted tank, but I see you're going to use fake ones.
    Anyway, best of luck to you! =]

    In my experience, females are much more active. They make a hierarchy in a community tank which is great fun to watch.

    Well I lost my camera and the other one that I had. So I went on setting up the tank with out taking any pictures and then after I found my camera -_- So I do have a few pics which I will load soon. When I went to get my gravel today at Big Al's I noticed that they had dwarf goldfish!!!! So I might do a goldfish setup instead of a female betta sorority. I really want to setup a sorority but I have always wanted goldies

    I decided not to get the goldies my Mom thought it was a better idea to get the female bettas

    Thank you for rethinking goldfish in such a small tank. The dwarf goldfish thing really is just a sales gimmick. You'll love the female bettas anyway. They actually interact in groups whereas goldfish just swim and eat (love my goldies to death anyway).

    Wow! You're tank is so beautiful, you are an amazing tank decorator! I should hire you to decorate mine so beautifully.

    And that long plant is amazing, is it a real plant? I would just love to be able to get those things where I am. I live in such a little small town that we are lucky to even have fish lol. Let alone female bettas. I wish I was able to get some female bettas, but its so rare that you see them around my area. And the only real plants we get is the moss, nothing too attractive, I would get moss, but my goldfish would probably just lay eggs, and I don't want babies lol.

    Once again, beautiful Tank! I compliment you greatly on it!

    thanks guys I can't wait to get some girlies!

    None of the plants are real I hate having real plants because the snails always come with it They took over my tank last time. Icouldn't get rid of them. The big plant I got from dollarama. I discenfected it first and it make some nice hiding spots to

    Kalei you could always try and order them on-line or find a breeder. I found a nearby breeder and might get a few cuties from her for my sorority, that is if she ever returns my e-mail
