He’d have been fine even if he wasn’t the largest fish in the tank, as long as none of the other fish tried to eat him. Male bettas that are the only one of their kind in the tank are pretty chill fish, very peaceful, as long as none of their tankmates look like another male betta. Much more...

How is this working out? I used to keep bettas in “condos” (divided aquaria) in college, males and females both. I love their personalities.

Adding: if you decide to sell plans and a materials list, for those who like to DIY (or for whom shipping is unfeasible) I’d be interested in that too.

Have you been able to find out more about shipping for your enclosures?

That’s gorgeous. I joined the forum just to say so. I’m planning on adopting an Ibera this summer. It’ll spend summer outdoors but be kept awake indoors. I am now SERIOUSLY torn between building a tort table (original plan) or buying one of these from you!
