IAMSOJEALOUS. I have half a mind to come home with a zillion plants tomorrow, and I definitely would if I thought I would have the energy to actually plant them in my tank. lol I love your little flower pot in there!

We had this BEAUTIFUL pure silver halfmoon betta that (perhaps luckily) got snapped up before it could tempt me too much. I was thinking of a setup exactly like that. Oooh, how pretty he would have looked against the green and popping out from the black gravel.

Thanks guys! I actually just got done upgrading it tonight LOL Its now a 5.5 gallon PetSmart kit. The old tank (as well as a smaller 3 gallon and a bunch of useless chemicals) is on craigslist, for fish money >=D

Thanks! Plants are easy! So is planting them. The trick comes when you have a plant with no roots, that keeps floating to the top XD Terra Cotta pots are awesome additions to any tank =D They add a cheap hiding place, with out looking tacky LOL

It's never too late to join the dark side of fish keeping >=3
