Nice tank!

Although, I would be worried about the tank being open topped. Bettas have a habit of jumping out the water.

Thanks. He looks pretty happy in there. Hopefully he won't be tempted to jump. :)
 
Here's one of the African Dwarf Frog.

How did you root your flame moss? I only ask as I bought one fixed to a wire mesh and it grew substantially...until I got 2 pairs of Metallic Barbs and they decided to swim through it and it all floated off! :crazy: :shout: At present it is all just piled up in a corner of the tank. Ta for any help..

Love the tank though, very clean and simple.
 
nice job! looks great :)
and i like your stock choice. just make sure the betta doesnt eat all the frog's food-can be a challenge at times.
cheers

Thanks. The flame moss was removed from the wire mesh (from another tank). I just buried each of the strands into the substrate. Haven't had many pieces float away... even with the frog scrambling around every now and then.

Thanks. The betta favors floating pellets, but every now and then he'll chase down the frog's pellets as they're sinking to the bottom. Doesn't happen very often though.
