i divided up my ten gallon so his is 6.5" across the front, 10 " to the back and 12" to the top....comes out to 3.4 gallons. on the other side of the divider is the heater and filter - -waters warm and no current to deal with

Currently very envious around here as far as Bettas are concerned its either the blue or the red one.

 

[Jenste]

Tell me about it. It's very rare (where I live) to find something that isn't red or dark blue!

I wished we had a maidenhead close by . You do see fish of different colours but they just don't seem to sell for weeks unlike the reds and blue. My boy was in the shop weeks before I got him. My purple cambodian and red cambodian girls were in the shop for weeks again before I bought them too.

I've seen a few nice bettas recently though of course after i bought my first 2 boys, Got a Red, Blue, Purple and Black Crowntail from Dundee few weeks ago which was an hour and a half away they had some stunning fish in all colours and varieties but locally pretty much no choice although my local did have a celophane VT in but thats the first non red or blue ive seen
