Comrad the papa betta fish & his albino cory babies 12 gallon Eclipse aquarium

Remember to watch in high quality.

I got this tank one week ago. It's the Eclipse System 12. It's housing my 2nd betta fish, Comrad, and 3 adorable albino cory catfish (Kip, Kanu, & Kitt). It is also home to six fuzzy marimo balls.

Funny story about Comrad. I wasn't planning to buy a betta fish when I walked into Walmart to buy an aquarium heater for my new tank. But I saw the bettas sulking and most looked like they were very sick. But not Comrad. He was like an inch larger than the rest of them and I thought I'd save him. Oh, and HE NEVER FLARES. I dont know what his deal is. My other betta Culligan flares all the time but Comrad is very friendly and loves it when the albino cory swims up to him.

Update (01/28/09) I've added one spotted cory. He schools w/the albino cory so I don't think he's lonely. Two days ago, added 1 very small (I think its really young) African Dwarf Frog. They're all getting along very well, I'm happy to report.

this is so awesome to watch. I had a betta fish and always wanted to keep him with cories but I didn't have room for a decent aquarium in my room so I could 't put anything else in mine but the betta. He was my buddy for two years. One day I will get another betta and a real aquarium and some catfish to be in the tank, too. Your betta is beautiful! And my friends said "the tank is so clean"

Amazing (beautiful) tank along with the fish

What type of sand are you using..

And is it safe for freshwater critters =)

I need advice on some right type of sand =)

The water movement is too strong for the Betta. They like calm water and can die of exhaustion from water that is too busy. Beautiful tank. I have a 15G that I want to set up like this. Thanks.

I just added 2 cories in with my Betta and he never flared at them. Now I think he seems to think he is a Cory too. He stopped eating from the top and follows the cories around and eats from the bottom. Silly Bruno. Benny and Benji love there Betta friend and Bruno loves his cories ;)
