delyall Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hiya, Ive wanted to show you guys my tanks for a while, but they wernt quite 'good enough' yet, but Ill show you them now, They sure keep me busy, but I love them Here is my new 25l tank housing my steel blue marble boy (Whos turned all blue again ) and it will eventually be a spawn tank once Im ready to start again (The sponge filter isnt turned on for the pic) Here is my 'betta barracks' its a 4.5ft tank built to be in a wall, so its only 20.5cm deep and 41cm high, Nice dimensions for my bettas, each betta, depending on how I put in the dividers, has about 20l each Im working on getting a sponge filter in each section, and because of a few heating issues I have a heater at each end.. My 'hospital tank' a 14l tank currently home to my black orchid boy with fin rot My very very sad looking 56l tank, its in need of a clean and more plants.. my job for tommorrow. Its home to 3 mutt guppies and 4 albino cories, as well as a mass of snails... And lastly my 3ft tank, I love it! Though it too is in need of more plants and less-fake ornaments. Its home to 4 sailfin mollies, 2 panda cories and 2 Sterbai Cories (love them!), one BN and one albino BN, 4 VT betta females and one DTVT betta female Let me know what you think :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyall Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I went a lil crazy and bought some plants.. too many plants.. but my 3ft tank is now nice and 'jungle-like' and the fish seem to love it I also re-did my 56l tank as it was looking too horrible.. I cleaned it up and put the 'extra' plants in it This tank is now also home to a peppered catfish (epic love for this guy!) 6 harlequin rasboras, the 4 albino cories and the guppies from the 56l tank Ive moved the 5 female bettas into the 56l 56l tank still needs some love, Ive found some real cool looking rocks I need to clean, then theyll be put in there The females seem happy and theres minimal nipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delyall Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Thank you Bec! I do so love my barracks, though its definitely more for display than holding a large number of bettas Updates on tanks would be Ive fiddled more with my barracks, neatened things up, gotten more lil' filters (wish I could find the ones you can refill with filter wool and carbon yourself, rather than having to buy the replacements...) and I moved the two heaters closer to the middle, which fixed the heating problems Id been having My 3 foot is now also home to a bunch of guppy fry So very cute My barracks - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulp Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Looking good! Are they blue pebbles? Nice! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyall Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yes Big blue pebbles, my mother kept bugging me about there being no colour in the tank (with the black gravel and black background.. I want the fish to stand out ) so I put the blue in there to keep her happy :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bewarebrunette Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Love the barracks they look great! I only have little ones, I could never fit a heater and pump in them. I could use a bigger tank... maybe one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyall Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks guys *sucker for compliments* I live out of Melbourne (usually a few degrees colder than the city) so a heater is insanely important.. darn cold weather <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
