maddzvk Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I keep saying id make a thread but ive been pretty slack admittedly. this was one of our first attempts at a barracks for the splendans. we got a 3.5 ft tank second hand three sides spray painted so just needs to look good front on bought A4 sized clear perspex to use as divders (plastic folder dividers can be used to card boys from each other) and mesh to seperate the front barracks from the back section. aim was to share maximim water to prevent complicated heat transfer/cleaning/filtering etc. yes i know but dieseases and health isssues. contagious. we are usually pretty vigilant and proper quarantine and tank maintenance minimises risk. plus extensive fish meds on hand haha anyway so tank. silicons not the neatest but we can always neaten it up with a razor blade. later on. perspex was siliconed to front glass firstly. round cardboard tube was used to support perspex from ground and allow even spacing. tank was allowed to cure. tanks flipped onto front glass. mesh siliconed to the back side of all perspex pieces as well as to the sides of tank and floor. pretty messy job but sides are spraypainted anyway so meh. and pictures: setting it up Edited June 24, 2013 by maddzvk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddzvk Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 haha i think the spirit level was from putting the perspex in since it didnt go straight to the ground, as for the bottle that's my DIY ciderhttp://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/LodoBetta/betta%20barracks/P4170079_zps4f096780.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/LodoBetta/betta%20barracks/P4170084_zps4a9e285e.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/LodoBetta/betta%20barracks/P4170091_zpse90be94f.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a558/LodoBetta/betta%20barracks/P4240848_zpsaaac2894.jpg tank got the perdi lick of approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddzvk Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 She's alive and hasn't had any side effects we can see so I think she's in the clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 If she hasn't thrown up or her lips or skin aren't turning blue, then she'll be fine. Don't be surprised to find blue urine or poop over the next day or two as she flushes her system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
