Hello all! I haven't been around for a while and for that I'm sorry. I doubt many people remember me anyway, so no great loss! At any rate, I'm back and thought I'd show off my tanks.

My first and main tank is a 36g community. It didn't start out planted and so it just has regular gravel as substrate. I use root tabs and dose with Flourish every 4 days or so. It'll be getting a major re-scape in a few weeks because I'm not particularly happy with it and there's an auction coming up. CHEAP NEW PLANTS!

Inhabitants include these lovely fellows:

My second tank is a 3g nano housing a breeding colony of blue velvet shrimp. It's pretty full at the moment so I'll be selling off quite a few at our aquaria society meeting next week.

My third tank is a 10g nano community. It's stocked with yellow jacket endlers, ruby tetras, and a few otos. They're all so lively!

The fourth tank I set up is divided for 3 male bettas; a delta tail, halfmoon, and crowntail. I made the dividers myself with craft mesh and report cover spines.

Here are my "fish puppies", as I like to call them. They really are like tiny aquatic dogs!

Lastly (and actually least at this point) is a 30g tank that I'm hoping to breed my orange laser cories in, once I get some more to bolster their numbers. It's incomplete at the moment, but here's what I've got set up:

One of the cories in question:

Oh, and a random bonus - the tank I set up for my mother's birthday. It's my favourite tank that I've ever done and sadly isn't even my own!

This hobby is so addictive!
 
You have been busy!! I like the betta setup, do they attempt to battle through the grids?

Two of them will flare at each other from time to time but they seem to get bored of it pretty quickly. I doubled up on the craft mesh so if anything, they can just catch movement and colour on the other side.
 
How many gallons is the betta setup? I have 3-10 gal tanks not in use and I was wanting to setup one like yours.
