@Lennie These are wonderful!  They look lovely.

Do you ever have any trouble with bettas scraping their scales or tearing their fins on the driftwood?  I had a betta do both on plastic plants a few years ago.  He recovered, but since then I have been afraid of using anything that was not soft, smooth, and pliable.  Just wondering- maybe I've become too cautious.

Hey Louise, thanks

That’s a good point. Most of the time the “finrot” we call is trauma related for such big fin species to my understanding

I tried keeping my Halfmoon male in the tank where you see the nemo plakat male, and it didnt go well. He did not have and teared fins or such as he stayed there for a short period, I moved him to my endler inside tub. He had issues swimming through plants and getting stuck around the wood

I had an Ikea box sitting in my basement so I turned it into a small indoor pond. Kept my halfmoon male there instead

 

I havent kept any here but these long shallow tanks would also work well I think, but they are 110x40x25cmh/110 liters. IMO shallow is the best. I get all my tanks custom made and they cost much cheaper than store bought ones here

 

These are my bigger bedroom tanks, but they may give an idea if you like any of them
