Got bored, so tried to get some more photos of my fishies. I just think they are all so brilliant :)

This is the first halfway decent photo (or photos I should say) of my 20 gallon planted. I'm waiting (probably for a few months) for the plants to bush out and spread a bit. The 3 vallis plants should hopefully get mroe stems and spread a bit instead of growing TALL when I start cutting off leaves, and the 2 lilies are great for shade! Also got some Java moss around the base of the far right lily (accidentally left one strand, and it grew :) ), a Java fern which isn't doing to great and I might pull, an Amazon Sword which I'm really hoping will grow nice and bushy and big some day and look brill... Have some random Water Sprites and Hornwart for the bettas to hide in, too. I grew all my plants from bulbs besides the AS, Java's, and floaty things.I hope to get some other, lower to the ground and bushy plants in there if I can find some... Any suggestions? Something rooted :) I might just start actually planting the water sprite.

The tank is a little overstocked, with the addition of the three female bettas (which are doing WONDERFULLY in there, by the way, with no aggression to or from anyone :D ) but I'm doing weekly water changes and making sure everyone stays clean and healthy, to make up for it. The bettas don't produce much waste anyhow. But hopefully I'll have a female betta community tank by my birthday (about 5 months) and the Dojos and Tetras will have a 55 gallon to wander in :)

Here's 2 of the 20gallon inhabitants

And now, some of the betta boys... From Biggest to Smallest!


Mr. Berry. Yes, he really does have a dent in his head before his fin :) I think it gives him character.

The next 3 boys are all from the same spawn, that I got from Nashnut :)

This is grumpy Ronoldo. I still have not gotten him a glass tank yet, so he is in a 4 gallon bowl... Which is plenty spacious, but the plastic is cloudy :/ He is absolutly STUNNING in appearence, but I don't think any photo will be able to show it until I get some clear glass.

Here is my STILL unnamed boy, who flares constantly. He's in the 2.5 gallon on my desk. Smallest tank I have, but he doesn't seem to mind, judging by the bubblenest. I love his body shape ^^

Lastly, here is "Lil' Falsey" Falsetto. He is going to be very, very beautiful I think, once he starts getting his adult finniage. He's just a little behind, and also very hard to photograph :)
