Drowsy 161 Posted April 25, 2013 First let me introduce the betta. This is Cesar. He's a doubletail. He has a little kink right before his tail and is very sassy. Now his home. It's a 2.5 gallon bowl. With a small group of red ramshorns. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sharpchick Posted April 25, 2013 Don't you love planted bowls? Such an interesting challenge to aquascape on a nano scale. And Cesar is a lovely betta. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narny105 1,992 Posted April 26, 2013 Wow it looks very nice! I'd love to have a similar betta bowl set up, but most vases I find are too small or too awkwardly shaped to be able to clean properly. Still, very nice and modern betta bowl! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sharpchick Posted April 26, 2013 Wow it looks very nice! I'd love to have a similar betta bowl set up, but most vases I find are too small or too awkwardly shaped to be able to clean properly. Still, very nice and modern betta bowl! I found a really cool bowl at Target. It's really a vase that's 14 inches tall, and 10 inches wide at the widest point - about 6 inches wide at the top. I liked it so much after I planted it, I went back and got another to plant some succulents in. After putting the dirt with the gravel cap in, and a skinny little piece of driftwood with my plants, it holds just a tad more than 2 1/2 gallons of water. I'm using the little 7.5 Hydor disk heater in it for my betta. It keeps the temp dead on at 78F. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ones I find always have an extremely small opening 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
