missriss126 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks to the winter storm that rolled through Texas last week, I lost both my betta and my pea puffer, leaving me with two uninhabited tanks. The 6 gal cube is lightly planted with some anachris, anubias attached to driftwood, banana plant, duckweed. The Fluval Spec V is now empty save for some rock and all the ramshorn snails that survived what my pea puffer could not. Clean slate here! I know there are a ton of people with super cool nano set ups, and I would like to join the ranks, or at least try! So, brain storm with me! If these were your uninhabited tanks, what would you do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have really been wanting some killifish lately, defnetley a underated fish. Some scarlet badis would also be cool. I would defentley get another betta, one of my favorite fish. Heres what my spec 5gallon looks like. If you add co2 the montecarlo wil carpet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how simple this design is! I love betta's too, and was thinking of doing a betta in the spec and maybe something else in the cube, the cube is in my bedroom and my spec is at my desk. I don't do co2 but I could probably get some thick crypts or something going on.... Great inspo! What do you have over the output to reduce the flow? looks like a basket from a plant?

Yep thats exactly what it is! I zip tied some panty hose cut to size, and figured the flow was still too much. So I went looking and found a pot, used it and its been working. Others have just put intake filter sponges on the outake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love them and you can’t go wrong with an awesome betta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
