divy Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 i decided to decorate the inside of my tanks a little bit because they where empty and i thought my bettas looked alittle bored i first bought some crushed quartz because i like the look of fine gravel in fish tanks but when it was time to do a water change it was too had to get it in and out to clean i ended up with the quartz every where so i bought some small black pebbles and bought 6 small baby tears silk plants for each betta the plants are pushed against the back of the tanks to give more swiming space i was going to take a pic with the moon lights on too but the batterie in my camara died does anyone think i should add a blue background to the tanks to make it look not so black and dark? oh thats my spawning tank on the bottom left courner lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara_01 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 looks great divy! i'm thinking of swapping the real plants in my barrcks to silk plants. i personlly like black backgrounds coz i find it brings the fish out better, but it's personal taste. whatever you decide to go with with it'll look good i'm sure. any luck with the spawn yet?

Bettarazzi Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I agree with Sara. I like the black. Don't think the fish will care. I think your setup is really stylish. If you want something other than black I wouldn't go for another plain colour. Have a look at an aquarium background with freshwater plants. It will make the tanks look deeper than they are.

divy Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 yeah i think i will stay with the black because like you said it brings the fish out more even when there at the back you can see them really good i did have java moss in there awhile ago but some parts started to trun brown so i took it out then decided on the silk plants its a win win situation they never discolour or die my bettas seem to like them and rest on them and they look good no luck on the spawn i have going at the moment, its been a day since i released the female its the 3rd time i have tried to spawn, first pair the female is too agressive and this is the second time i have tried this pair first time i was a impatient so thats probably why nothing happend but fingers crossed for tomorrow and when i get my blue dragons i will have a go with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasfire Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Good Luck but please don't just give up after day 2! I've had a pair that acted like tank mates for 3 days straight decide to spawn on the 4th day....and there was a 2nd male in the tank too!! (by accident, thought it was a female...turned out to be a wild type PK) I give all mine at least 4-5 days in the spawn tank to spawn. I only removed them if a) the female loses her vertical barring and shows stress bars or b ) is constantly hiding even at feeding time. I hope they spawn for you!
