2 Tanks Before And After

[dthoffsett]

Well, my 75gal has FINALLY cycled, so I'll be ordering my mbuna this week. In the meantime, I decided to get the 29gal ready to be a community tank, and move around the 5 gal betta. The labs that are in the 29gal seem to really like the change, although, I think they'll like the 75gal better once they're moved.
On to the pics.

5gal betta tank before

5gal after, I'll probably add a taller plant along the back so it doesn't look quite so bare, but I was trying to maximize the betta's swimming space, and I put the skull in so he would have a little house.

29gal after, I'm really happy w/the way this turned out, I can't wait to add the community fish.

from what i gathered from the post, the labs are going to a 75 gal and then the new community fish are moving into the 29 gal.

nice tanks!

Just let you know those labs you said were adult. There not they're juvies.

Actually they are adults, I just made the pic really small. The male is almost 5inches, and the girls are around 3.5-4inch, and the juvie w/the driftwood is from their last brood.

SamUK and Mr James, I'm definately moving the labs to the 75gal as soon as the other fish I'm ordering arrive. They won't let me add another lab w/o killing it, they'd shred a community fish in 2 seconds flat.

Thanks everyone for the nice replies, I'll be sure to post more pics once I've got everyone in the right tanks.
