 |  Hi
Hi, I've just started up a 40g saltwater tank a couple of weeks ago in preparation for a marine betta that will be given to me for free as soon as I'm ready for it. I started out thinking that it will only be a fish tank so I've used crushed coral with some rock that use to be live rock (they've been sitting out on a deck for about a year so I guess their dead). Now, I've started lookiing into snails, crabs, shrimps, and corals and mushrooms! I've got to slow down 
Let's see, I've got 3 other tanks: 135g assorted cichlid tank (having fries like crazy - must be over 50 of them and I see 3 pregnant fish now), 55g goldfish tank, 29g tank that houses a Texas Map turtle, and now my 40g for saltwater.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to being here. |

Marine Bettas are a semi/aggressive fish. And are relatively hard to keep. One of my top 10 favorite fish. Be sure and do alot of research on it/and your tank plans. This is a good reference. Marine Betta | |
