Rodger Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) And here's a (bad) pic of the whole tank I did slightly break biotope the other day and put in some java moss lol, but wanted some more plant matter, and something that would stay around the top...

Rodger Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Took some more pics today! And I also set up a betta barracks recently (there's a thread in DIY forum), and it has 2 guys in it now, and they look pretty happy with the new accommodation, both making nests! Our first betta, "Alpha" or Al: (btw, is the bulge near his peduncle normal?) showing off at the camera lol: Our 2nd betta, "Beta": And excuse the grubby tank glass, but I still liked this pic, he looks surprised lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I think the bulge might be his swim bladder. It does look larger than normal. If it's an infection I'd expect to see other signs eg not eating or swimming funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Interesting about the swim bladder... but he seems fine otherwise. Thanks Steph! I've put 4 smaller IAL in the tank, but the PH doesn't seem to be going down noticeably... As far as I can tell from my API test (hard to tell the subtle colour differences sometimes lol), it just sits at ~7.2, before and after the IAL. I'd like to get it down to 6.5-6.8 or so before I get a pair of apistos... Might try some DIY CO2, tho last time I tried that nothing seemed to happen (like, no bubbles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ftaquaman Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Search you tube for a good "how to make your own CO2 canister" video. Im sure there was one posted on this site but I have no idea where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Got our 5th betta the other day... Went to the pet shop for something for the dogs, but just had to get this guy lol So cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sass Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Great looking tank! Sadly, only the first video works. It seems a lot of pics are now defunct in threads. Corys are such a pleasure to have in any tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
