I have been wanting to put Tris, Titan, and Piper in larger tanks for a while now, and today I spent a few hours decorating and settling them into their new homes.
I was on a hunt for my missing gravel last night, and during the process I found a perfectly usable 6 gal. tank under some junk in the garage. I cleaned it out, added gravel and a few plants (never had any luck with live plants in my betta tanks, so they are always fake now), and a few decorations of course... and the outcome is this:
It's not the best looking tank, but Tris LOVES it! He has so much more room to swim freely now it's great letting him have more freedom.
A happy Tris:
I had guppies in May, but something very odd happened and all of them died. I had this empty tank sitting on my computer desk, so I decided today to clean it out and fix it up a bit.
Titan adores his new tank as well - I have never seen him flare, and today he finally has begun to.
Titan flaring (sorry about the flash and pic quality):
I actually hadn't planned on putting Piper in a new tank, but I found one that is about three gallons in the garage as well. Decided to put gravel in it and see what could be done with it... it's really quite plain right now and the picture (I think) is terrible, doesn't show the tank much... better one tomorrow, promise! Couldn't get a picture of Piper himself to show you all, he was hiding when I tried to get one.
Alright, I'm done rambling! I'm far from finished with these tanks, I couldn't find many of my decorations (especially the one I wanted for Tris' tank) so I'll be updating them continually over the next few days. Just thought I would show you guys the start of my "new" tanks. Sorry if the pictures took forever to load! )
BTW, can anybody tell me if Titan is a combtail or a crowntail? I know he's not a veiltail and I don't think he's a crowntail either...
