Betta Owners -- Need Tank Ideas

[Jessika]

I convinced hubby to let me have a betta (it was either a betta or a tortoise hehe and I figured a betta takes up less space, is less expensive to care for, and easier to care for). We're going to pick one out Friday but I was wondering if I could get some ideas of tank set-ups from you guys? Just a picture and general description or suggestions would be great! Thank you all so much

Less space, and a lot cheaper. Tortoises can be more expensive than dogs for upkeep. How big is the tank? I once had a tank with hamster toobs for the fish to swim through. You just have to use the toob with an extra opening at the top so the betta can swim through to the surface.

Natural style:

yes, the fish isn't a betta but my betta' also lived in this set-up

or my old "Betta Blitz"

Those are fake glow-in-the-dark plants, they look great:-)

My boy is in about a 5 - 6 litre tank, heated and filtered. I also change his real plant every couple of weeks, and a quarter to half water change once a week - 9 or so days. He is due for a water change, hence why his water level is a little low at the moment.

I'm using 11 litre tanks (about 2 gallons I think) with very simple setting.
Might add decorations later such as sunken ship or bridge - haven't decided yet.

Our room temperature is in the low 70s in the winter and high 70s in the summer so we don't really need a heater or a cooler. If you need a heater than perhaps you should go for a bigger tank.




this is Max, btw, my new betta boy.
difficult to take his pictures because he is moving all the time.


I like seeing the contast of the colour of the fish and the plant.
Will get a blue boy for the tank with the red plant, or maybe another colour but definitely not red again
