May we take a moment to honor stompery's memory... May his spirit swim free in the great aquarium in the sky.

Fineman, I think you're referring to me, TimeLord. Feel free to steal my ideas for the 29 gallon tank, I'd be flattered. I just set up a new 10 gallon divided tank and I'm loving it, but I'm planning to upgrade to a 29 gallon soon. I'm actually thinking of getting a few more live plants for my current tank, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on setting up the 29 gallon.

Go ahead, take the ideas - my tank isn't patented or anything. If you're serious about a freshwater or planted setup, start a journal in the relevant section. Mine's here: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/my-2 ... al.430038/

TimeLord: I didn't name my Betta "stompery" as in a copy, but I actually had a blue betta named stompery who passed away recently. I had named him that long before I even knew you existed. My next betta might be named after a Marvel character, like Sebastkento4 Stan or maybe Winter Soldier.

You guessed it, I'm a massive Winter Soldier fan, which made stompery a no-brainer for a name.

I'm actually heading out to Petsmart, Petco, and Walmart today to see if I can find a betta that catches my eye - Pet Value didn't have any winners yesterday.
