Is the back side of this tank flat? I'd like to buy two and put them back-to-back for our two bettas. Would that work?

It is flat. If you get them, make sure to not get the water level too high. I bought this for my grandson and his beta jumped out of the opening on the top and died.

It is flat in the back. We love this tank. My daughter has water frogs and it works great. The only thing is if you get a micro usb (?) Cord for the light you may not be able to put another right up behind it due to the cord.

Make sure that your bettas are larger than a female! I had a female betta that suddenly became aggressive towards some other fish. She could slip right around it. It works great if you have the right sized fish.

The tank lid is not exactly flat. But you can place a small item or a tray. I keep a little glass bowl filled with soaps/shower & bath fizz products which look pretty and smells nice too!

No. It hangs on the back of the tank. It would not work well without a full tank.

If you look at the picture, two of the 4 sides have an opening near the top. The glass part of the tank does not go all the way up.

They weren't for my bettas- what I did was get a little airline control valve so that I could control the size and flow of the bubbles. Another fix is to point the outflow towards the side of a tank or add some floating plants to sort of stifle the flow.

If you have a larger unit, such as the CoolMist HTM-6009 then it should go in the BASE (referred to as the reservoir on the packaging), not the tank. There is even a little hole for it between the two sides.

yes they all are I only use two to divide the tank into 3 sections 2 Betta's and a Dwarf Frog. My Tank arrived in good condition no issues.

Yes it does. My only issue is the controls are wrong. Back makes the tank go forward and vice versa. I've been meaning to contact the company about this but haven't got round to it. Hopefully yours will be fine and mine is a one off.

The photo is just like my tank. the front edge (away from motor) has the lip extending down the back (towards motor) is indented.

The Betta divider works great. I use it to separate my two male Betta's. They flare at one another but not overly so. They each rest too. Easy to feed them as the tank has divots at the top to easily slide the divider down into the tank. I have aquarium rocks in the tank to hold the divider at the bottom. I have another tank with just one Betta. I would buy this divider again if I opted to get a second Betta for that tank.

I was able to place my 20 gallon on the bottom of the stand but did not keep it there. The reason is because petco did not cover anything about using the bottom to hold a 20 gallon. This could cause one big issue for you as well the fish in both tanks. So my advice would be not to try it! You could always contact the company and ask them directly but more likely get told nearly what I covered. I hope that helps you out.

From what I can tell, it doesn't look possible without doing damage. I wondered the same when considering it. I have it set up with an oriental look - a pagoda looking bell house and a "rock garden". It's beautiful. My Betta is healthy and happy as a clam in it. I haven't regretted my purchase for a minute.

I have not had that problem, but I have just one betta in it. Try the Tetra website - they answer quickly and thoroughly.

The back part is completely flat. We did not use the two side tabs on the bottom because it would not fit in our kitchen. We use this for both my kids (4& 2) and love it. It is extremely sturdy even with out the side parts. I highly reccomend.

are you sure you put it in the right way? and will they stick together out side the glass? mine worked Great and I had a 55 gallon tank.

I don't use a standard filter on these tanks (we have 5 betta fish). Instead, I use a disc bubbler under the gravel for aeration in each one. Love these tanks and their design, but not too happy with Amazon shipping b/c all of the tanks came with at least one divider broken or cracked. Also, don't like the solid glass lids. In fact, I was leaving those off entirely at first, but one of our bettas leaped out of the water while I was at work. I didn't even know a fish would or could do that! So hubby made me some wire mesh covers for them. But now I'm rambling, sorry. If you want to use a filter, I'd get the smallest one you can find. I think they do make filters for 5 gallons and under. Again, I haven't had to use a filter. I use a disc bubbler, and lay it on top of a cottony pouch that has charcoal in it. I have to change the charcoal out only about once every three months. Bettas are so clean and if you don't overfeed, their tanks stay nice for a long, long time. Love the idea and design of these tanks, that's why all my bettas are in them, but see preceding for adjustments we've made over time. Hope this helps.
