Wow, that is so cool. Even in the cups they look good and well cared for. How many do you have?

The Barracks system holds 90 and it'd normally full. On top of that there are 36- 10G spawn/grow out tanks and a few other tanks depending on the current need. Sometime I switch some out for bigger tanks if needed for large spawns or other type fish like rams,angels or discus.

That's really awesome RC! And the bettas look great too!
How does your drip system work? Is the water in the cups just continuously dripping in and out?

My system was set up as a continuos drip system at first. This worked ok, but the water is reused all day and then each night I changed the water in the sump. It used drip emitters to control the flow at 1GPH. It also cost money to run the pump all day. I now run the system as auto water change system without drip emitters. I run the pump first thing in the morning and again at nite so the fish get a 100%+ water change twice a day. There is no reused water so there is no change of spread anything from one fish to another. It saves me money by not running the pump and it flushes the cups better. The fish do have to deal with a current for a few minutes a day.

sorry to be negative but its a shame that all those bettas must live in small cups their entire life, yes they do look clean but thats not the pouint, their isnt enought room to move, also it looks to me that each betta is a number?it looks to me your more bothered about how many you have got and how little room they will take up than the wellbeing of each fish.it also seem expensive and stressful for the fish.are you heating their water?

We been all over this in the Betta area already and I'm not taking it here also. You don't like the way I keep my fish and I don't care if you don't like it. It's worked for me for 17 years and thousands of fish. I don't heat the water since the fish room is heated to 80deg. The numbers match a dry erase board that has the spawn info for each fish.

Save it. This is about his bettas- he's doing good- leave it at that. No use for bashing going back and forth where somone is trying to show all of their hard work. I doubt RC needs this coming down on them after all the work they put into this project. It's amazing and more creative and accomodating then most tanks i've seen other betta enthusiasts stick theirs in.

you have expressed your opinion for days now in the Betta area. We agreed that we are never going to change how the other person feels. To continue to follow me to each post to voice that opinion is your right, It just starts to look like your following me. Either way I don't care if that's what you want to do, but your going to find that this same conversion happens here every 6 months and never changes ANYONE's feeling on it.
