	How Many
greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Im going to split my 20g long into different compartments for bettas. How many different bettas could I keep. Im thinking about 4 so each compartment would be about 7.5". Also should I make a separate compartment that runs along the back for the heater and filter.

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	You could easily go with the 4 like you've suggested or as many at 10 (I think that is what Stormy did) It really depends on how much work you are planning on and how you are planning on doing this, and how much time are you willing to spend... I did mine with a 10 gallon and plastic canvas, fishing line, and time You don't need to make a seperate area for your heater and filtration, only if you want to...just make that section a bit larger, and you'll do fine... heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

(This is the tank o' death though, one bad bug and everything died, and again, and again!) If you want good flow-through, install a UGF under the dividers. I kept one male per compartment, and 4 females in one compartment.
