Beachy Pico

[Gill]

Right this is My Pico tank that I made from a CD Storage box available from Instore/Pounstretcher. Note that this was the first time i have tried to seal anything with sealer and its a little messy.

I have used it a few times, and since i have a Beautiful White Male Betta from my spawn I made him a little home.

Spare Peices of bogwood with some Glosso and Creeping Jenny Attached. just trying as some was floating around in the cube.
Some Dwarf Chain Swords and Salvinia as a Floating Plant.

Lighting is a Desk lamp with a reflector bulb in it.

Enjoy.

Nice looking little tank

Don't you think it's a bit on the small side for a Betta ? 1.5 litres is less than a gallon, especially with all the bog wood and stuff, doesn't leave him much space. I'm sure you could find a more suitable inhabitant

1 thing you cant see is that Mine for some reason a 75% smaller than they should be, they are nearly 6 months old and are just edging over 2 CMS.
Yes if it was a normal sized betta than yes it is on the small side.

Check my Spawn log in bettas for the size comparison.

Ok - Could not resist Boiling some Driftwood and doing another scape.
Hydroclyte and Chain Swords

Very cool! Did you feed your betta fry right when they were born?

I fed them First Bite Fry Food, then Moved onto Crushed Hikari Micro Pellets, then Dahpnia and Bloodworm and then whole Hikari Micro Pellets and now Hikari Cichlid Pellets. The just did not grow as normal fry should have.
