Have a look at my Betta Tank in Photo Bucket. Aquscaping a small tank can be rather difficult. Plant selection and placement is extremly important.

At the moment 1Betta, 9Cardinal Tetras, 1 small Clown Loach & 1 SAE to finish off the thread algae.

The CL will be removed when the last of the plants go in.
Plants.
Lobelia, Crypt nevilii, Hygro phillia , Cardamine.

Since that photo I have pulled out all the Anubias and replaced it with tall & short varieties of serated Java Fern. I have also added more DW.

I have not added the updated photos to Photo Bucket yet.

Hi,
Here is a site that might interest you:
[link=http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2005.cgi?&Scale=258&op=ishowcase&category=0&vol=0]http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2005.cgi?&Scale=258&op=ishowcase&category=0&vol=0" style="COLOR: #FF00FF[/link]

These tanks are all considered "small" and range from
less than a liter up.

I dont really see a problem with the betta but the otto might render helpless if he is aggressive at all. other than that seems like a solid tank.

Well he seems really happy, He chases the neons once in a while but seems happy, hasent noticed the otto yet, but he has alot of caves to hid in.

He looks so good in this aquarium!!!

I think my 10g looks pretty good. I have no photos yet, I haven't been able to get them to come out without reflections.
It is planted, there are 5 harlequin rasboras, 2 ottos, &amp; the male betta currently in residence. I have plans on adding 5 panda cories as well.
The tanks hardware consists of a heater, aqua-clear mini filter, &amp; 15 watt flourescent light hood.
The betta is so much more active and his colours are better than ever.
If you stick to low-light plants like java fern and moss, cryptocornes and water sprite. I have one amazon sword that has done well in first the 25g and now in the 10g. Small tanks can look every bit as nice as the larger tanks.

Certainly add the Betta he will love the extra space.

The filter I have is an Eheim 2008 which can be used for 30-60Lt 8-16galUS. After I set up the tank I measured the water as I put it in total 31Lt.

I also have a good Rena pump for a airstone.

Here is a picture of my 10g...a setup like yours with 9 neons, 2 ottos, and a male Betta.

Plants are wisteria, crypts wendtii red, dwarf sag, some bacopa, rotala indica, and an anubias nana.
