Aqua One Trio

That looks great and stunning betta!
 
I honestly like this tank myself.  It would work out nicely with 3 bettas.  The one thing is I would suggest making sure you place plants next to the dividers to help block the view so that the bettas are not required to always see the others.  Making sure that you have at least one cave like structure in each section to help each one hide when it needs to is another thing to make sure of.  Does this tank have a lid and a place to put a heater?    While I have no issue with bettas in this tank, I do not recommend any other fish be kept in here unless the dividers are removed.  Shrimp are another option for someone if they wanted to keep 3 separate color morphs in the same tank.
 
If they are the same tanks i looked at the other day, the heater sits in behind the individual betta section, where the filter area is. The filter runs the water past the heater and into the sections
 
Great.  That is kinda what it looked like to me online too.
 
Yes, it has a lid and heater

And you're right about blocking the view, I got 2 more today and they know the others are there! I have décor on order for the other 2 sections and both will have a cave. The pic is not the final décor, just some plastic plants to give cover temporarily. I got 2 more crowntails, blue and red, a bit common, but they just grabbed me more than the double tails and half moons. The blue one is really shy, but they've all had some bloodworm and are settling in nicely.

The dividers are solid black plastic with slits at top and bottom for water flow which I reckon small shrimp could get through. I'm planning on having shrimp in it eventually, probably amano, which would be too big, but cherry would be straight through!
 
Fly screen the slits would stop the cherries...
 
I'll let you know lol I wanna use one of these for cherry shrimp
 
The one thing I will caution you on is the plastic plants might tear fins.  Just becareful with them and watch for tears.  Otherwise things look good to me.  I agree with Alasse, there are ways to make it "shrimp proof".  :)
 
Just back with an observation, I first had the heater in the compartment before the end one with the motor head in. It wasn't getting the tank water up to temp on the heater so I had the heater set to 32C to get the tank to 25C.
I thought perhaps if I moved the heater into the same compartment as the motor head, it might work better. It does, I forgot to turn it down! :") So the tank is up to 31C, of course I've turned it down now.
But that's the most efficient place to have the heater :)
 
I am glad to hear that this tank is still working out for you.  :D   Have you gotten any new pics of how it looks now with the decor you bought?
 
Of course :) Never quite happy with it, hence no pics so far.
But if confusion over the size of the orange ferny things, so the purple one is instead.
The white cave is from aqua one. Pic showed white and grey but I don't seem to be able to track a white one down. So I tried covering it in the white sand using aquarium silicon, but the algae has grown and of course I can't clean it.
So it's still sort of getting there-lol!
