Thanks for the compliments...I definatley was fishing for them :dance2:
Here are some of the details a couple of you asked me about:
- Only 2 Plant Types in There. Water Wisteria and Alternanthera roseafolia.
- Lighting is compact florecent - 40 watts
- I am doing DIY C02 Injection. One of those Hagen Bottles.
- I have a layer of laterite on the bottom followed by about 3 inches of tube sand from home depot.
- I add Potassium(K) - Flourish and A bit of Phosphate Weekly. I have found I dont need to add Nitrogen(N03) because my bioload seems to keep it right around 10-15ppm.
Thats it. This tank is actually incredibly easy to maintain. I spend like 15mins a week on it. Its also got close to 0 algae growth except for easily removable hair algae on the driftwood.

Oh and in regards to the Male Betta getting along with the females. Well, occasionaly I see nipped fins. But it is really very minor. Overall they seem to get along fine, but I would probobly attribute that to the dense plant growth giving the females AND the male plenty of spaces to hide.
