Betta Tank:
I split this up using plans forr DIY tank dividers. I didn't do any progression shots on the project since it's pretty well documented online and I doubt my horrific silicon work warrants any kudos.
And at some point (when I get a PC 40-60w light for my 20gal) I'll do something similar to EMG's setups (1, 2) for the bettas, but, since I'm broke, gravel and two fake plants will have to do for the next two weeks or so.
Tank Specs:
This is Aquaman
Dragon:
Lumi:
The single ADF that rules the tank. Somehow he's moving between the sections pretty easily, I've seen him in all three in the space of about two hours. I suspect it's the low clearance of the dividers... hopefully none of the bettas are high jumpers.
The dividers:
This tank still needs two more frogs, two snails, new substrate, wood, and plants.
20g Community Tank:
Tank Specs:
For now the both tanks are pretty plain. The 20g is lightly planted, while I look for java moss, water grass, decent driftwood / slate. The flagstone was scavenged from my side yard.
The 20gal will be getting a pair of German Rams when I'm sure the water conditions are stable enough for them. My sister inheretied my other 10gal and the gourami is going into that so I can turn my 20gal into a micro SA tank.
I'm going to trade the shrimp in for a few tetras, another alge buster, or some plants and probably pond snails.

Lumi is quite a nice betta especially.
