Almost finished...Im waiting on some plants in the mail (shouldve been here last week grrr!) but I finally got my hood and filter in the mail and just hooked them up last night. Im actually not a huge fan of the white sand with the Flourecant bulb, really dulls his color appearance :( but its kind of too late now.

It's looking good. Have you already picked out a betta for the other side of the tank?

[Friendlyfishies]

thanks! I did today, this is the guy i chose!
Its funny, the double tail wants to fight but the plakat suprisingly is very independent and ignores him, i thought it would be the other way around lol.

finally finished! too bad they arent staying in it lol...I just bought them their own private homes...im not liking these divided tanks much right now...maybe with more experience later on down the road...

Heres a pic of the finished product

Great job! I just did my first divided, planted 10g, and a divided regular 5.5g..I love them!

I think it looks very nice. I have 2 divided 10 gallons. I like that I have 3 fish in each and its only 1 heater/filter for them but I find the compartment furthest away from the filter gets very little water movement and gets that annoying protein film on the surface. Plus I find them difficult to siphon. I have sand and the dividers are not silliconed in place. If I suck up or move too much sand, I end up with a spot one fish can sneak in to visit his neighbor

Very nicely decorated. The fish on the right looks a lot like my Journey.
