I like the frog, he/she's really cool. I've only ever kept Claw frogs and frogs are just generally cool! The picture looks like mid-jump aswel so well timed!

much better than some betta vases I've seen. where is the snail btw?
 
Not bad, but IMHO its too tall for a betta. Swimming up so far just for air, and only being able to swim up and down rather than side to side isn't ideal for a betta.
 
the snail is in the bottom left hand corner of the photo of the frog, does anyone know what type of snail it is

She's not actually.
Bettas have a sorta lung so need to breath air, and their fins drag them down and maker them slower and more tired trying to get to the top all the time if the vase is too tall, sometimes it tires them out so much they die

Nice vase btw :thumbs:

<agrees with OohFeeshy> Bettas prefer length and width over depth. The more surface area, the better for bettas.
 
Nice looking vase, though I have to agree with the sentiments that the vase if very tall.

Also, is that a real sea shell I spot in the bottom ? :/ It could cause cloudiness in the water and alter the PH.
 
it is real but has been sterlized and soaked, it used to be in my large tank for months and never did the water or fish any harm, but did go a bit green, sdo i cleaned it and put it in this vase. i have taken out the snail now and put it into my other tank.
