My ex-coworker does some really nice things with betta bowl decorations. She uses beads, trim, ribbon, fired clay, and stained glass paint in addition to other stuff to make betta bowls decorated and nice. Well, she's done some really exceptional stuff in the past, but this one takes the cake.

When i left the pet shop, she gave me this as a gift. It's a 2.5 gallon tank with the back and both sides done solid. If you look carefully, the front has the bottom inch or so done up to show corals/plants/sand. It took her 12 hours!! This is the coolest thing...!!!

Gorgeous Tim!


They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

That's not a betta tank. That's gotta be a nano.

I say this as a betta lover: how are you going to find one that can hold his own against that incredibly gorgeous tank?


Also, is it safe for fish? The design's on the outside, or what?

That looks awesome Tim

I did something like that in 3rd grade art class...but it was just a sheet of glass to put in the window, not a whole tank...

She did an awesome job, trust me, it's hard to make something look good using that stuff...
