My 5 is divided. I like to keep it looking natural though I never tried NPT. Just an extra idea for you :)

My 5.5g which looks a little different than this now, I've added micro sword, re-arranged a little & removed the silk plant in the back right corner. I'm almost always changing something in my tanks.

And this is my 5.5 Gallon



I'd really like to do a NPT some day but for now I use silk plants.

wow i love all of these tanks!!! I thought it would help me decide by looking at everybody elses tanks but it is kinda making it harder.... lol

Start by thinking about what you like, and don't like in a tank. Remember, you're going to be spending a fair amount of time looking at it, so you want it to be something that you enjoy seeing, and something that you take pride in. Then start asking yourself a few questions: Do you like themed tanks? Colours? Do you want a more natural look? What kind of maintenance are you looking for? Do you want live or artificial plants? What kind of budget do you have/how much are you willing to spend on the decor? What do you already have on hand? What shape is your tank? How many viewing walls do you have/will you want? Are you housing just a betta or will there be another critter or two in there with him (eg shrimp, snail(s))? All of these questions will help guide you in the right direction :D
