    Betta Cottage

    Have the same stand as you :D Its sturdy to say the least. Im thinking of finding some kind of fabric to overlay the stand so i dont have to look at the tubing and power cords.

    Planted 20Gallon Tank

    Yeah i think i'm going to get a 24x18 inch piece of poster board or maybe the aqua background they sell at the fish stores. and put it up on the back I'm sure it'll stop some of the reflections caused by the mirror effect. Think I'm gonna be okay with my stock?

    Fake Plants!

    I'd recommend real plants but if your not known for your green thumb then fake plants can work. I've noticed LFS can have nice fake plants that are styled after real plants. I don't like walmart or petsmart fakes they're multicolor bs atleast the LFS plastics are greens that look like real greens.

    Female Dg

    Nope It's right on the bag they came in I can put it here if you guys wanna read it. The bag says any live fish bought at walmart is warranty for any reason for 90 days after purchase with receipt. They told me i don't need anything but the receipt and i'll get a refund if they died.

    My 20G Semi Aggro Tank.

    The little ram will ram the bigger colorful one, nipp at the longer fins even seems as if its swim fin (the ones near the Gils) are hurt now both fish are alive and still swimming around regularly. But I think the little one they sexed as female maybe is male. Should I take one back to the fish...

    My 20G Semi Aggro Tank.

    Will do. I have arogromite sand mixed with white and blue gravel I think I'm going to keep it for atleast a few months. Maybe somewhere down the line go to black sand substrate. It'll probably help make the fish pop out at you. Here is some slightly better picture of the rams my camera has a...

    My 20G Semi Aggro Tank.
