thanks guys, know onto convincing my mom to let me get another tank
take that 5 gallon bucket you have there, fill it with water, and set it up there. See if the bookshelf bends or tweaks or anything.
Lol, I know nothing about construction so I dint know about the stand, but a have used one those critter keepers to carry and water sample in and it cracked on the side and lid kept coming off and it broke, not the greatest thing for water containment, even Though one says it for fish. You cam get s 5g tank with canopy for under $20. Those terrariums are really thin plastic because there for reptiles. So you really couldn't heat it, which is what betta should have. They need constant 77-79 is preferably the best. I'd be more concerned with the tank than the stand. And with that lid you couldn't add any thing with cord to it like a sponge filter, heater, thermometer probe, etc. It's your decision, it's not my tank but I'd suggest against a terranium and suggest a glass fish tank and canopy for under $20. It doesn't have to be one of those big sets just a 5 dollar tank with 10 dollar canopy. But it's your decision, nit mine, your fish, not mine.
i actualy went to petco yesterday and saw how cheap they were so i didnt buy one, i looked for a basic 5 gallon tank but all i could find was a 2.5gal with a glass canopy... could i divide a 2.5 for 2 bettas?
I wouldnt put 2 bettas in a 2.5. Theyve got to have a plain 5g glass tank somewhere for like under 10 bucks, I know It. Would you consider ordering one? Check walmart mine always has empty plain old glass tanks 5 10 and 20g for about 1.50 per gallon. My Petco never has plain old tanks, only sets.
my walmart only has sets, except for 10 gallon, is your a super walmart?
i was just looking for a basic 5 gallon tank with a canopy maybe, i have made my own filters before (actualy using a few ATM) and i was gonna tank the one from my already established betta tank and put it in there and make another filter so i will have two running in the 5 gallon, on each side of the divider. light im still not sure of, might just take the light off my 2 gallon.
im trying to save money so i just want the tank
i will mist likely put a divider and another betta, a crowntail
