Oh I ordered the chi cover and 2 different backgrounds to choose from so can't wait for them to arrive in the mail and I can add the finishing touches. I also want to get a rock cave and built it underneath the cliff raised ledge I made.So it will still be like that but it would be a cave and give extra room and hiding space for the shrimp when I do add them. Still waiting to take pics the waters cloudy still.

That,ll be cool. Well I'm waiting for my shrimp just hope my fish don't think they're lunch! Here's my pic it looks bare to me I'm wanting a background too, any ideas what else I could put in?

Fingers crossed the fish behave in a non predatorial manor Towards the shrimp! I think it's looking really nice :) hmmm I would probably add a really nice larger piece of driftwood to form separate areas in the tank and then move things around to suit that but its coming along really nicely what a lucky boy u have there! Oh and with the background both my other tanks have black I just taped it on. I really like black they make the green and bright coloured fish really stand out. Dark blue would be nice aswell.

Oh that's great to hear,shrimp are just so cute! Awesome have fun and I hope you find the perfect piece, its my bed time now haha. He would be he's got his own palace now :) I hope mine clears up soon so I can get a pic, It's making me wish I got him a bigger tank looking at all the space your little guy has. I do love my chi though and it's perfect for a little bedroom feature.

Well I managed to get a small piece of driftwood with micro soroum attached to it ( don't know if that's how you spell it ) but would prefer a larger piece, no background didn't like them, my son wanted me to get one with dinosaurs on! So I,ll keep looking. Your tanks lovely & your betta will love it too.
 
Progress of my chi, still waiting for the background and cover to arrive
