Abby Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 So I have 4 female bettas in a temp tank and had to get another 15wx8dx9h 18 l tank set up for them. So its planted and pretty and begun the cycle today. Today is also my birthday, My partner hid a betta, i fell in love with last week at lfs, in his still freshwater sump of his soon to be reef tank. he gave me a pie of books i wanted and then sent me to look at his Light (his newly installed light) and there was little Pippin, hes a masked Cambodian veil tail butterfly. Pics: Pippin Tank: MORE IMAGES ON THESE TWO LINKS: Planted Tank Edition 5.2 (5.2 meaning; 5 gallion, 2nd tank) Pippin Enjoy, Abby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Happy Birthday Abby! Pippin is a beautiful boy and the perfect birthday gift... The new tank looks great and is going to be stunning when all the plants have attached to everything and grown. How many tanks do you have?

Abby Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks guys, i have FOUR tanks up but ones a temp. I have Cinder, Bronxie and Scarlett (Agent 88) in the 5.1 tank which also has drift wood and plants, then Pippin, Fredrick (004) Sponge Bob, Cedric (agent 11) Dastan, Benny, Nero, Louie and Melvin in the 8 bay (nero is now living in the heater/filter section hes got more space and he can annoy the back FOUR fish instead of two lol) Ailie, Lexi, Caela and Rayne are currently in an undivided 6 bay tank waiting on the 5.2 planted tank. I also have two 4L critter containers and a 0.6L hospital tank if i need them for QT or anything.so according to my partner, i already have too many. THIS all started with a tiny o.6 litre wall mountable tank for ONE fish. Pippin is my 17th betta this year, two in Jan; Dastan and Nero, 14 in feb; scarlett, Bronx, Cinder, Rayne, Ailie, Caela, Lexi, Fredric and Cedric, Louie, Benny, Melvin, Tamina and sponge bob, and Pippin in march. (tamina died and was replaced by Louie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
