its one helluva long time to post the result of the tank i made but hey.. it's better then nothing.. :P

i did set up a freshwater tank with what was left after i sold off most of my marine stuff..

the 2 ft tank had:
Fish - 1 crown tail, 2 female bettas, 1 pearl gourami and 6 black tail red platties.. there was simply no infighting between any of them with 1 exception.. the females keep nibling at each other.. i have never read about females fighting in community tanks(they are suppose to have ample space). it was wierd.. maybe they were figthing over the single crowntail male :P anyway i separated the females betta.. there was ample room for everybody, 1 large drift wood, 2 live plant, 6 fake plants and a small clay pot lying on its side acting as cave, my crowntail really loved that pot..
filtration? intank filter which i cleaned every 4/5 days..

in the end i got bored and sold off everything and donated the fishes to my dads pond except for the crowntail..

1 thing i learned about this experiment is bettas dont really like large tanks as they are not good swimmers.. really! the crowntail was having a tough time moving around especially swimming against the current of my filter,

large fins + swimming against current = tired fish

guess that's all i have to say.. i might've miss something so shoot if you have any questions..
