Cleaning a used vase for a beta or something

[patrickriley2010]

Went to goodwill today picked up this vase for 2$ !


Only problem is that it has some thick film on the inside I poured boiling water in and that didnt get rid of it.
Any ideas ? I think it used to have a plant in it.

Hmmm, have you tried using a wire pan scourer?


They do great at removing gunk an they don't scratch they glass.

How many gals is the vase? Looks pretty cool for a small tank idea.

No idea how many gallons yet ! I have a tank scrubber but don't want to contaminate it and I don't have a pan brush :/

I have brushes but they have chemicals and viniger on them from cleaning my floors

Bettas really need a filter and a heater to be happy and healthy. I would only use that vase if you can rig it so you can get both in there. They also need like 2.5g minimum. Some people say 5g minimum.

It would only be temporary I have a heater and filter that would fit the vase it's an air powered tetra wisper.

I think that vase would be amazing with plants and some shrimp
