Keeg Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hello everybody I have this red plakat betta that has been the absolute best breeder, father, and colorful. After having many many successful batches of fry from this one fish and many other females, I've been thinking about a retirement tank for him as he deserves something great because he's given me so much joy. I would love to hear y'alls thoughts on what I should add to this blank slate. And what you wouldn't recommend (like how floating mirrors are terrible. Thank you! PS. I never named him, so if you have suggestions, drop them below. He is aggressive but won't hurt a female betta for breeding 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Clifford... Sorry I had to do that. 😂 I would set him up a 5 gallon with some lucky bamboo and TONS of Crypts. And maybe source some cool driftwood from a local lake, creek, or pond. That’s all I have in ideas. Your betta is amazing. 🤩 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonske Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Gorgeous betta. Antares (or just Ares) are the names that came to my mind... For the tank I would add a lot (a lot) of plants. Doesn't even matter which ones, as long as it's green, your retiree will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I think he would look great in a jungle scape with bright green plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Peace Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I think a blackwater setup would be great. Along with lots of anubias and crypts! Your betta is so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Toro. He reminds me of the red bullfighters use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theresa W Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 My betta lives in a 15-gallon tall tank, and I find that the height makes him a happy camper because, while he does occupy all the space at different times during the day, he spends most of his time near the top in the plants. However, his second favorite lounging spot is in the middle of a Java fern, so I recommend plants of different heights around your aquarium, and include some floating plants as well. As for names, mine doesn't have one either. He knows who he is, and he doesn't have to tell me his Fish Name for us to have a great relationship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I would add some amazon swords because bettas really like resting on the leaves of the sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
