Ok its done and completed and has occupants. So far 2 of my 3 bettas have taken home in this. I have split the back off from the front with many holes in it, so that the filter will move the water in a circle. and then divided off the tank into 5 sections for multiple bettas. and to do this, i did not buy tank dividers for the LFS, i went to Joann fabrics ($5 for 4 24x18 sheets) and then for the plastic to hold them, the dollar store for the holders (book report holders). then added my moon lights for look.. took me a few days to set it all up. but its nice

more pics when i can get them soon.

Pics: two of Buddy (CT Betta), and 2 of the tank.

and one pic to explain how it works to the non believers.

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

I like the tank, and nice bettas too

Very nice! I bet those are some happy bettas .

What about some occupants for the bottom....I'm thinking each section could have it's own school of some of the smaller corys or loaches, maybe one with shrimp.
And ...pleeeeeeeeeeeeease! background or get those plants growing ....

i'll have better pics of them soon.... but yes, background soon, i have to go out and get one for it still. but i'm thinking about putting 1 or 2 shrimp in with all of them, as far as anything else with them, cant do it. none of my bettas play with others.. i'm actually thinking about using the middle section for a few male guppies, or maybe some zebra danos or something small.

Wow, you did a great job on that tank! I would never be able to do something like that. And the bettas are really pretty too.

thanks. unfortunetly, i have to drain it and fix the silicone sealer... i'm soooo not happy about this lol.

Looking really nice and the betta's are probably thrilled. Like Babelfish think you should add some bottom fish in each section.

Awesome tank, looks like it took quite a bit of work. That's a great idea, I bet those are really happy bettas.
