crdave Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi Everyone, I've only recently started keeping Bettas so at the moment I have five at home and two at work. The two at work are a red VT and a torquiose CT. At home I have all CT'S, two blue ones wth reddish fins, one really dark and the other royal blue. My others are an almost black with dark green another toquiose and a red. I'm located in South Oz in Mt. Barker. All my fish are in 7L - 10L tanks with glass heaters in them. It gets pretty cold as we are in the hills. Sometimes 4 or 5 degees at night. I also run the type of filters that sit on the edge of the tank. Any advice on my set up would be most appreciated. All my fish seem pretty happy in thier homes. Sometimes I can't believe how much character they have. Sorry for rambling just thought I'd introduce myself and my little buddies.

Figure_8 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 you have 7 already? you have been bitten by the betta bug! Your tanks sound great! I don't know what else a betta could ask for. What sort of decor do you have in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crdave Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Yeah Mouse I kind of did get bitten. I think It's my first blue and red ones fault coz he's a real character. He gets so excited at feed time ,I reckon he even knows the sound when I tap his food dispenser thingo. All my tanks have small natural colour pebbles with a couple of lillies in each one. They are mostly Aqua one tanks with curved corners on the front and one has a curved front with a black back glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Psst.. Jess and Robbie... another South aussie to keep you guys company Dave, it sounds fabulous. Just watch the plants. Are they plastic? If they are, you might just want to watch them to make sure they don't rip their fins on the plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren MacFish Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I like to think of bettas as the fish for people who like dogs but don't want their furniture chewed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
