He's learned to beg for food already, such a smart fish I'm almost tempted to see if he will spawn with the female crown tail, but they might not make pretty babies. She's pretty much black but hey, I think they'd make a stunningly contrasting pair.

I see you've already added your black water extract. I've just been adding a little after a water change, but I only use it for the other betta tanks. The chunk of driftwood more than makes up for me not adding some to this tank. I plan on doing a water change tomorrow and moving the pleco and corries out while I'm at it
Yes This way I can control everything.
10 liters of de-chlorinated water
2 Indian almond leaves
A shot glass of peat moss ( in a fine mesh bag)
Put in heater set at 75deg F
Put in Power head and run the whole thing for 24 hours

Yes, It gives the shrimp food and shelter.
Sorry water is a bit cloudy because of the conditioner I use it will clear up in an hour or so.

My Banana Lilly is doing great have a look at all the roots on the right side. The little plate is my shrimp feeding station, saves food from getting in the gravel.

Very happy shrimp. I've been wanting to get a small starter colony but I don't want the other fish to wipe them out. I might get some for my next project, but that's after the rest of the cichlid fry are big enough to be sold or added to the main tank. I really want to do a planted black water setting in the 29, but it's going have to wait...
Mr. Betta, who I have decided to name Grey is happy as ever. I floated a female in his tank for a while to get him to flare up again. If my female CT ever starts getting fat with eggs I might try spawning them.
I'm not noticing much difference in his coloration, he's still young though so maybe he'll look different in another month or two. I almost thought I had lost one of the male peppered corries. I couldn't find him anywhere in the tank so I assumed he jumped out. Looked all over and didn't find him. Came back a few hours later to feed them and there he was, swimming around. He must of been up in the driftwood
