They're all making bubble nests : ]

The orchid crowntail just got over with some finrot and now his fins are growing back beautifully!!!!

 

[loraxchick]

CHEERS

looks good... a couple concerns though

1) how is that betta doing with all the filter current just in that section?
2) Seems to be inadequate filtering for a 10g with 4 bettas... what is your maintenance like?

They are just lovely!
I couldn't help but notice the bends in the partitions, though, I guess they're solid enough?
Gawd knows bettas are sneaky enough about impossible-to-get-through spaces as it is...

I was going to question the dividers as well, they dont look very sturdy.

 

[loraxchick]

i agree...make sure there are NO gaps between the side of the diiders and the glass....especially up at the top near the clips (my big mistake) and are absolutely down to the grael, if not burried partially. they will wiggle thru the tiniest opening and, well, lwts hope you are there to see it happen and can react quickly enough to save your fish (and their fins). i had an unfortunate disaster and had ribbon fish for a while. id hate to see that happen to your beautiful boys!

I do a 50% water change every week and scoop out any floaters i find, this is for all my betta aquariums.. espcially for this one.
The filter was one of my first concerns also but I got a piece of clear plastic that I cut from a pepsi bottle to difuse the current. Also Dell the betta doesn't mind it all. He prefers a stronger current, which is weird. I tried putting sony and hewlett in that section of the aquarium but the current was WAY too strong for them and just floated around for a couple minutes. Actually.. Dell, the one in the section with the filter is making a load of happy bubbles.. See..

Well to answer about the dividers.
I used two sheets for each divider. sticking them together with aquarium sealant. And at thetop there are little notches where the dividers slide through.
Held at the bottom with aquarium sealant. I was SURE that none of the fish could get through any cracks of crannys i overlooked.

ah if you glued it in with silcon that should help a lot. I think a lot of us worry because there are some very wigglie and clever bettas that like to beat the snot out of each other.

 

[loraxchick]

sounds like all's well and CHEERS!! for the pretty boys

That i know!!!! my dad and I use to breed crowntail bettas. And then one day our wimpy plastic divider gave out and we lost both of our pedigree crowntails.
it was a SAD SAD day : [
