Fish Lovers Show us your tank.

This is my Beta His name is Microsoft, He used to share a tank with 6 guppies till they refused to pay rent and he evicted them. ( I gave them to the kid next door)

When I got him he was not well, I put him in the tank he went straight to the bottom and stayed there for 2 days on the 3rd day he started moving around and eating, And has not stopped since. That was 8 or 9  weeks ago now.  Microsoft seems to have a taste for snails, And at 3 bucks each thats a bit expensive so I stopped buying them.

This was his old home

This is his new home. It's a work in progress.

15 Gallon tank.

Here's my guys, getting stuck into the tucker...

Nice tanks and fish fellas, i been thinking about getting a 6 footer because i want to get a small baramundi. Every man and their dog seems to have an Oscar some where so i get bored with them.

I am surprised nobody commented on the fishes name.

Microsoft

New light $90. And I am painting the back of the tank black.

Microsoft has (or did have) their own beta fish with Windows 7 & 8. 

First the one that was with Windows 7 Beta. 

And a stranger one for Windows 8.

I'd have to say that the ones that Nick has are better looking, as well as live ones. 

There is likely a story behind why Nick named the fish Microsoft, out of all names to pick, guess we'll have to leave that part for him to tell.

The clue is likely in here, though I wouldn't be surprised if the next thing that'll be needed is a 30 gallon tank.

I cleaned the glass, Did a mayor gravel vac got rid of a bunch of rocks, I added a 1200 lph canister filter ( Forced to do it this way no cycling ) I think I may need a bigger filter. Changed 50 litres of water.

We got some rocks, Petrified Wood.
 

If I was a fish that would be like a penthouse apartment.

Now all he needs is a nice car and all the lady fighting fish will love him.

Ps

At least I don't say " Here fishy fishy come and get some food"  Most of the time

After some work....... Lots more needed.

Must have been neglected for some time, a lot of work you've put in there so far with much more to do.

We now have 6 cherry shrimp in the tank. I have never seen Microsoft move around with such purpose before I put them in the foxtail plant on the left they went to the bottom and are hiding under the driftwood and rocks which he is now inspecting in great detail , He knows there are Yum Yums in the tank It's just that he cant catch them LOL,
 
$ 3.50 each
 
 
 

I see why you named the fish Microsoft. 

He's going to end up being the most expensive copy of Windows to date!

You'll be wanting to name the next one Apple at this cost.

Do not go there, He has eaten 1, Seems this fish has expensive tastes, $3 snails and $3.50 shrimp, He has spent most of the afternoon " hunting "  It took 2 attempts to get him to the top of the tank for feeding, He looked at the food I was giving him had 1 pellet and went straight back to looking for shrimp...
