Here is a picture of the new betta we just bought. Unfortunately they are a little out of focus. Will try again later. He is what is known as a crowntail betta.


Here's a photo of a green plant that I cannot ID. Hopefully I'll find out what it is. The pet shop owner didn't know what it was.
Since first posting this, the plant is a Pennywort. This plant can be either rooted in the substrate or used as a floating plant My fish guru, as I call her, says this plant, as a floating plant would be great in the betta tank. So, I guess that's where it will go. My thanks to Dawn Moneyhan, my fish guru, for all the help she has given me. It's not a plant that is easy to grow.

Here's a look at the new cave I obtained today while visiting a new pet store in Lake City, FL about 37 miles from us. Was very impressed with their aquarium supplies, fish, plants, etc. They seem to know their fish and care for them.

My 5 gal tank with an Amazon sword plant and a Palm filter which will be replaced with a Foster & Smith bio system power filter.


A photo of my 3 gal Eclipse which will be my betta tank. The plant is one of the anubias I got. Only temporarily placed in the tank for now.

A photo of 2 anubias plants I got.
