The View From My Computer Chair

[B.D.S]

but firstly a 21 litre betta low tech planted tank

a teaser shot!

and the bad boy itself! it's set up as a Tanganyikan community with a pair of J.Transcriptus, 1 A.Calvus, 4 occelatus "gold", 4 congo tetras and finally 2 big #### zebra danios. and before anyone asks it was all transferred from a 150 litre mature set up so yes it's cycled

I'll post more pics tomorrow night, the evening sunlight hits the tank side on and looks fantastic.

I like a lot. Very nice love the beta tank

The shonky wiring in the AA's is very annoying, I've had three of the suckers blow a light or filter on me. Your best bet is to pull it all out and DIY. I just take advantage of the cheap glass tanks - the 6 gal betta tanks were going for $30 at my Big W a couple weeks back.

Thanks for all your kind words guys, I've been keeping fish 20 or so years now and it still makes me proud when people compliment my tanks
Vince the Betta's tank's been running about 18 months with no wiring issues yet but i'll be ready if it does now, thanks Laurafrog

Thought i'd share a picture i just managed to get of Mr Julie (i'll just add that the wife names the fish!) protecting eggs which i couldn't quite get in the frame, I think they were laid last night and the tanks only been set up 10 days!

and the phone ain't too shabby either Shelagh but you should see it just after my wife's dyed her hair pink and then spent 2 hours with it pressed to her ear.......Pretty phone

Sorry, they're both beautiful but for me the betta tank takes the cake!

I've had this happen too, I bought an AA 3 gal for a betta and the light blew after a few months, then the filter a while later. Shame, cause it's a good looking setup.

Looks really good!

I can't wait to get my big one set up!
