Do you like my betta fish setup?

[Naer]

came a long way from the 1 gallon bowl I had my first betta in a few years ago

All the hot slots are gonna get wet when they see this

I'm not sure if its a good setup or not. It does seem very crowded in there.

It looks nice, but plants need a serious trim.

That's enough vegetation for a 500 gallon tank.

I would try to clear up at least little bit of open water for swimming purposes but aside from that looks pretty cool.

What are you using for substrate?

 

[Naer]

It's not overcrowded, the betta like to swim through the plants. The plants are soft, no danger to his fins. This is 20 gallon long for 1 betta btw. I am unsure of the age of the betta, I got one of the bigger ones at the pet store so he's at least young adult

To captante, the substrate is fluval stratum(volcanic soil)

I currently have a 20 gallon long myself, also heavily planted with a Dwarf male Honey-Gourami, 7 silver-black Tetra's and 5 Emerald Cory-cats. (trying to resist staring another tank lol)

This time around I went with a topsoil/clay mixture "capped" with 2-3 inch's of mixed-size gravel.... plants are going crazy!
