    Hi guys, here is a video of my 30 litres dennerli tank which has been running for 2.5 years now. Started a new bigger tank for them so they will have more space . https://youtu.be/Id0TyvEs6sg

    Hey there. You can find cheap basic macros on fleabay! I won't have backup stock for another four weeks or so sadly. Amazing how good they work on phones, just need the subject to be within an inch from phone. Easiest way is to feed shrimp at front of tank. Cheers Will

    Awesome sight, don't often get to see so many in one tank. Love their little " white gloves" waving away.

    Betta are pretty intelligent and independent fish, so yeah I think removing the dividers is a good move to give it swimming room. Personally I'd not go with less than 20L, preferably 40L. Water quality is easier to maintain, too. They seem to love having a decent sized territory and plenty of stimulation so long as the water isn't too deep and the current isn't too strong (more of an issue for those with encumbering fins - those closer to wild form like plakats can swim well enough). Plenty of objects, plants, and some larger shrimp or other inverts is nice for keeping them stimulated, and regularly rearranging the scape seems to excite them a lot. Example: My rescue betta had mobility problems due to fin structure issues but he still patrolled his territory, swam over and under everything he could find, and moved light weight stuff around by shoving it. He also enjoyed trolling the cherry shrimp culls by swimming into a mob of them on their food. He didn't like to eat their food or try to eat them - he just liked to watch them scatter if he swam into the group with his fins fluffed out. He'd then sit on the shrimp crack and wait for them to gather around again before flaring his fins to scare them. Can't say all bettas will be this placid to shrimp though!!!

    If you put it in a tank which has reflection on the glass you may want to consider covering the sides in carboard or painting it etc. You will find the male will spend alot of time flaring out at the reflection postering which can lead to stress which then onto disease in rare cases.

    That Betta would love a bigger tank. They can be pretty miserable in real small areas. I think the way most pet stores keep them, in a cup, is really inhumane. Give him the biggest size that is practical for you. Add a few plants if you can.

    I'm not that familiar with Betta but do they swim around much in larger tanks or just float on along like a cruisy sunday?
