I set this up about a month ago :D . Living in it is my rescue betta Monty, one African dwarf frog, and 3 cherry shrimp. Enjoy

Monty the betta was in a community tank for a while but after a few months he became very possessive with food. I wasn't able to feed the corys and Monty blew up like a balloon. In his new tank he hasn't bothered the frog, apart from stealing his food :rolleyes: . I only once had a problem, when in the middle of the night the frog bit his tail :hyper:. Monty who was sleeping took of like a rocket. The frog let go on its own and poor Monty had no idea what had happened. Since then I haven't had a problem and Monty knows from experience that he can't catch the shrimp :lol:, But he still likes to steal the frog's food :sly: .

Also some other info that I forgot to put up, the tank is 2.5 gal with a 13watt light. I dose fertilizers but no CO2 and the tank is open on top. The plants are Java moss and either Dwarf Sagittaria or pygmy chain sword.

Cheers,

Gah! I LOVE the look of planted tanks! Where do you get your plants from? I'd love to get Darby some nice plants, but I can't find anywhere nearby that sells quality plants. Is that java fern you have sprouting on the log?
 
Monty and company have a beautiful tank. :drool: Well done! :good:
 
Brilliant tank, lovely looking inhabitants. I'd love one of those frogs, but it looks like you can't get them in Australia. I'm going to start searching to see if I can get one of those shrimp. That shrimp really adds some colour to your tank family.
 
i think they are all rather cute ^^ monty has lovely fins
