Are these good deals? Keep in mind I don't live in the USA so things cost more where i live. I am looking for a good betta tank. Please give me an opinion of the best one if your on budget. Thanks!!

Betta fish starting kits/ 2.5 gallon and 3 gallon aquarium

Aquarium supplies ( for this one Its the 5 g hex)


3 gallon aquarium complete setup + cherry shrimp, plants, etc

FISH BETTA GLASS BOWLS - 1 X 0.5 GAL, 1 x 1 GAL, 1 X 2 GAL (i think the 2 gallon one is the one i would get if i got these. Fair price?)


5 gal starter kit for sale

quality betta fish for sale (of course the bettas :D )

Again Thanks!! I noticed most of these don't have heaters. Bettas almost always need heaters unless you live in a REALLY HOT place.
 
Honestly I think you could probably do better. Most people I find seriously over price things up here expecting to get close to what they paid for something.

I also live in Canada so I know what is paid in the US is often far less than what we pay but I still think 35 bucks for couple gallon set up that seems like mostly stuff that probably wouldn't be used is a waste. IT's only a good deal for a "kit" if it's all stuff you will use. KWIM?

To give you an idea, I live in eastern Canada and these are some local ads for my area

And these could even be argued to be a bit over priced.

it can be very frustrating to try and find something used but patience can really pay off. I would stay away from less than 5 gallons personally. These little tank kits are way over priced in stores new and this leaves people expecting to get far more than it's worth used.
 
How about the 5 g hex with filter and lights.
