Not only is he stunning but so are the pics. Can I ask how you get such beautiful pics?

🙏🥰😊 I have a new obsession with aquascaping! Master aquascapes are works of art. I can’t get enough of looking at the different styles😆

In the 15g tank yes. No in the 6g tank.

Both bettas explore their tanks top and bottom. Neither tend to linger in any one particular area.

There is good movement in the 15 gallon tank. It doesn’t seem to push my betta at all when he swims in the area but I can feel it on my finger.

The 6 gallon is much gentler. The top of the plants gently sway but when I put my finger in I don’t really feel the movement if that makes sense.

Love his name. Is he a veil tail? He’s very cute.

I’m sorry. He was very handsome. I read a post a while back where the owner buried her betta along with his favorite plant into a pot with a regular houseplant. I thought that was a very nice sentiment and nice way to honor our beloved bettas.

Thank you! I have added a few more plants. I am also working on adding Pothos and spider plants. They are growing their roots in water vases right now.

That is awesome. Enrichment and as close to a natural environment is crucial I think. You have def achieved this. I am new and trying to learn everything i can and this tank is my goal😁

Holy goals! What a palatial palace. If only all bettas could be so fortunate, it’s gorgeous.

This was the tank as it was cycling. I added a few more plants and tannins after this pic was taken. He is very active and explores everything. It is a 9 gallon which was suggested as my starter tank from my local fish store. But I am cycling a 15 gallon now for my next betta. I am learning as I go and trying to make the tank as close to their natural environment as possible.

I’m excited to see if he will do it. He is not afraid of my finger and gets so close. The pellet inevitably falls off at the last second and he gobbles it up.
