hey guys i have this way over sized wine glass it holds about 3 gallons and iv had bamboo in there for about 3 months one day i was just wondering the temp and stuck a ther in the tank and it was a steady 78 deg. ok cool perfect. i have a exsta heater made for tanks under 5 gallons too so i figured i would get another betta. he is just a mix of every thing from the pet store but i love him and he def likes it better then the cup the was in. any ways heres the pic

I luv that setup too. I have those bamboos and they grow alot.

Thanks again Lor! You and I are reading the same stuff today

Kissez and Lor -Does the bamboo need any special care? Should more than just the roots be in water?

no it needs nothing realy but water. and yes only the roots can be in the water. it grows a fair bit i got mine at the grocery store wen i got it it had no leaves and in 3 months it dose.

Tanks kissez! I know what I am buying tomorrow

im sure that those bamboos will grow alot more soon,haveing a fish in there the poop ect ect will act like a great fertalizer for the plant.
Lovely set up and what a cute betta you get the bamboos at the grocery store ??? samething here Special C lol

lol i love finding things like that were you wouldnt think to look. i saw somthing on a decorating show and thay had the bam boo in a container. thats why i bought it in the frist place and then i got better and better ideas with it lol. im shure itll grow like crazy now that the betta is in there. iv had the guy 3 days and the leaves look way better they stand up and are a deeper green .

Yeah Jeanne, we sure are reading the same stuff today !!!

I get my bamboos at Asian stores. All u do is put them in regular tap water and they'll grow. I've had mines for a couple of years and the are big. BTW Jeanne, if u are going to buy them, u would most likely find them at Asian stores (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) Good luck on findind them.
