I've got a ten gallon tank that was once used as a quarantine but has been empty for some time now, and I've been toying with ideas as to what to do with it.
I've come up with an idea that seems a little out there, but hear me out. I figured I might be able to put a divider right in the middle of the tank, and house two male bettas in it (one on each side of the divider). I would try to make sure that they can't really see each other, so as to prevent them from flaring at each other all day. I also figured, toying with the idea of a divided tank, to put black sand on one side of that divider, and white sand on the other, and have the Bettas be of contrasting colors as well (maybe red and blue, or if I could find it, black and white). I would also put some low lighting plants in there (probably Java ferns, and Java moss).
I'm picturing this tank in my head, and I could see it turning out really nice, but since I've never seen something like this done before, I'm a little weary. Has anyone done something like this? Do you guys see any reason why it wouldn't work? Any thoughts would be much appreciated, as of yet the tank exists only in my head lol.
