Looks good, do you know the name of that lily pad looking plant closest to the right side?
Hey, you just saw this tank live too =) um the lily pad looking plant is hydrocotyle verticillata. How's the betta?

it isn't as likely that a betta with heavy/long fins will jump, but because it can happen, i would always have a lid on a betta tank.
as mentioned, the fluval edge is not a tank designed with a labyrinth organ-ed fish in mind, due to the lack of water surface area.
an inexpensive 2.5 gallon from petsmart makes for a good betta tank. a 5 gallon would be better. bettas do enjoy having space to swim, but they don't need a 20 gallon all to themselves to thrive. and by getting a basic tank instead of one of these designer tanks (fluval, etc), you'll save yourself a good chunk of change. spend that extra money on a whack of plants to spoil your betta with
This right here is a great plan to go with. I like using 5 gallon tanks when keeping my bettas too and basically cover the tank with plant stems, floating plants and moss with any extra change I have.

I've seen my share of good HM jumpers. Once i had two seperated by a divider and as i was watching them one jumped over the divider straight into the other tank luckily i was there to prevent the fight.

Hello Everyone,
I have recently won and imported a few bettas from aquabid for me and a few friends and have a single dragon plakat betta left !!. The price will be a little higher than ones seen at AC just to cover the additional import/shipping fee of the fish
Currently housed in a breeding net inside a 20 gallon tank
Black/Copper Dragon Halfmoon Plakat $30
Currently housed in a breeding net inside a 20 gallon tank
Yellow water appearance due to tanins released by almond leaves inside their water.
Betta arrived 2 weeks ago from Thailand and have been quarantined over that period of time.

Here's a Video Update of my tank.
There have been a few changes since the last update. Going to the U of A and then working for the early part of summer has left the tank slightly neglected creating a good growth of BBA and hair algae which I am working on getting rid of. The tank now runs on a single T5HO life glo bulb (6700k) with a GLOlite fixture. Co2 diffusor is a Mr. Aqua ceramic diffusor and filtration has been upgraded to an Eheim 2213. Here is the updated fish list as well:
11 x Boraras Brigittae (Chili Rasbora)
5 x Boraras Maculatus (3-Spot Rasbora)
5 x Trigonostigma Hengeli (Hengeli Rasbora or Porkchop Rasbora)
6 x Galaxy Rasbora
1 x Dwarf Blue Gourami
4 x Amano Shrimp
