HEy guys this is my new betta. His name is boy George my land lord named him. ^^ I got him from petco while I was there getting food for my dogs.
He was advertised as a Double Tail Betta. He's is absolutely stunning. When I got him I put him in a vase so I could just to get him out of his little cup. He is now in a 1.5 gallon cube by tetra. He's doing great. But enough talk, here are the pictures!

Very pretty boy! What a nice display he made for your pics, the little showoff!

I have the same tank, currently empty except for some plants. Do you use a heater in yours? I got a 5 watt cobalt heater, very small, to use in the wintertime. I think in the summer it would make the water too warm.

I've been trying to come up with other ideas for this tank besides a betta or some shrimp. Maybe some endlers?

Very cool! Out of curiosity, what type of filtration is on this little tank?

I have it, it comes with a small air pump powered internal filter. It does a pretty decent job for such a small thing. The flow output is slow, which is nice for a betta. I added a check valve to my airline since this sits near my computer, and that slowed the flow a little bit more, but not much. The filter cartridges come in a box of 6 for about $4 at Walmart, cheap. It has a clear plastic lid with a small square 8 LED light.

Yep! and I honestly don't have a heater or my tank since it never cold here in Florida and I think a heater for this guy would make him cook in the water. And yea hes a little show off! I think some endlers could work. But I don't know.

Well now it looks like I'm adopting a small homeless African Dwarf frog from my niece tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be ok in there. At least until I can get around to getting what I need for my empty 10g.
