	My Son's 5.5G
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Edited by Theresa_M I gave my oldest son (13) a 5.5g Mini-bow that I wasn't using. He purchased black gravel, a CT betta, and ADF. He wants to go with live plants so he used some I had in an empty tank. Have to get a better tank shot but this gives a general idea of what it looks like: Both the betta and ADF are still settling in a a bit shy. Managed to get a couple pics of the betta though: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Here's a couple links with some good info about them: http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/mypets/dwarfs.html http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile99.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
