Cheesy/tacky tank

Okay, their website has a great jumping off point.

Get a few of these:

And this: (or the black one if your gravel is dark)

And then then the moonlight:

It'll be like the blue room in Weird Science (whoops, may be too old of a reference for you kids) - and blue betta Betsy to boot! :laugh:

How about buying a bag of cheap little green army men & adding a few into the aquarium. I saw that done once & it looked pretty funny.

I do have little green army men but unfortunately the float.

As Lab_Rat suggested, any colorful glass bead or marble would add color without interfering with the tank function.

I think you could approximate clown puke fairly easily... any craft store or even Walmart should have some selection for you. They sell strings of beads that you can easily cut loose and scatter (not actual bracelets/jewelry - less expensive).

I also like the idea of a black light & neon/day-glo plants...

heh, I'm a little worried Betsy will be lost amongst the riot of colors & bubbles!

Great idea about the beads!

Sacriledge! It's a classic that must keep living on!

Keep in mind that plastic plants sometimes like ripping betta finnage! :/

I love this idea. I used to have an air-operated treasure chest that would open and close, but it might scare a Betta. lol

don't forgot to add stock accordingly, an oscar or two( so the first won't get lonely) should be fine.

while you at it get a couple of neon tetras to go along with the oscar, it can be like big bro little bro..OHHH AND GLOFISH!!!!

I have thought it over and decided that I will not go for the clown vomit look as I don't think I could stand to look at the tank if it had that gravel. I will still be going for the cheesy look.

I can't do the moonlight or the tube cover because I plan on getting the baby biorb and those accessories are not compatible with it. I wish they made them compatible though because the blue theme is an awesome idea.
