New Set-up

[riogal_11]

I posted a few days ago about moving all of my babies back to school. To fit everyone in without being too cluttered I decided to get a new shelf. I found one at Odd Lots and thought it would be perfect, turns out I was right and I love it. Everyone compliments on it, and the boys seem to like their new scenery... Here are a few pics....

That looks fab! I SO need something like that although I use bigger tanks than you for my males so not usre if it would work (or where I'd put it!!)
They look good though. How do you heat them?
I love the way you have decorated the stand too.
Overall...nice set-up!

I love that, it's beautiful. Great set up.

I change the water bi-weekly, and my room temp stays pretty regulated. I check the temps a few times a day to make sure things are staying about right..... so far so good. Is ther even anything to use to heat 1 gallons? My girlie tank is heated as well as my hex 5 with my lovely little plakat that wuv sent me. But the others I just change the water often anyways so there is no need to heat. How big are your boys tanks? Each of these shelves is big enough to hold a 2.5, as that is what I have on the far left. It fits perfectly actually. I wish I had more of those, although I am very fond of my aquaviews....

Very cute set up Looks like something I would do!

Looks great! Now you need two more bettas to fill up the empty spaces

I'm not going to go out looking for two more, but when I find one that I as I say "absolutely have to have" I will get it. I want a halfmoon so bad, but I can't be spending tons of money on it now that I am back at college. How much do they normally come to on AB, with shipping and all. I don't need any kind of super quality b/c I am not wanting to breed at this point. Any help would be appreciated.
Another thing I don't understand, why is it that shipping is always outragous? When wuv sent me my four latest babies it was 4.00 for priority so why am I seeing 27.00$ priority for some of these? I just don't get it.

Ok, Synirr I completely blame this on you. I went to my lfs today to get tropical fish food and there they were. Two beautiful boys. They look to be very young also. One is delta or super delta(not sure) and the other is a doubletail. Their colors are hard to explain, but I'll post pics tonight when I get them all setup. The delta is having some fin problems. It didnt appear to be fin rot, more like a tear, but I'll inspect that further in a bit. I'm so excited. ATM they are hiding in my car, so my parents won't see! Their colors are also very odd. I can't really identify them at all so hopefully you all can help.

OMG, that DT is stunning. I've honestly never seen a betta like that except the expensive ones on aquabid. Wow.

 

[JoLtNbolt]

what kind of tank is that round tank in the bottom right side of your shelf. looks interesting.

 

[riogal_11]

I'm not sure what it is or even where it came from. I found it in my garage when I bought a boy on impulse and needed a tank badly. It looks to be approx 1 gallon, I've seen ones just like it posted on here before. I think they come in three different sizes.
Oh yeah and anyone who is good at colors and tail types, please fill me in on mine. Am I correct on the delta? I can't get too good of a pic of him flaring. and I'm assuming I'm right on the doubletail hehe! And if not I shouldn't be allowed to keep bettas
