So I'm honestly trying to get into breeding bettas. I ideally want to setup a series of smaller tanks, specifically the 6.6G bookshelf tanks from petco, or something simiarly sized. I want 2-3 of them, preferably withsome type of sump system or something.
I guess I should state my problem and not tell everybody what I want to do to solve it so that I get the best possible answer.
What I want is to reduce cost, and hopefully yield the benefits of having a larger surface area.
So let's say I have 3 6.6g tanks, right. That's 19.8G right there and then add maybe like a 5 gallon sump. You're at 24 gallons. That makes managing water conditions easier is my understanding, and I can stick with 1 Aquaclear 30 or even some kind of a can filter in the sump, as well as a single heater in the sump.
Just in heaters that's about 60$ in savings locally, and in filters, it doesn't really save me a whole lot... in fact I'm paying extra for a filter so I guess I could go 10 G tanks... but that still leaves me spending a great deal on lighting.
What I want is a cheap way of holding a lot of bettas, so I can eventually start breeding them.
how would you go about doing this?
