hi everyone! first off, i just want to thank everyone in advance who reads this because it is probably going to be long! thanks soo much! ok so, i currently have my two betta fish, Zeus and Apollo, each in a 1 gallon tank. i know this is small, but i was given these tanks by a friend who had no use for them, and one of my bettas was a rescue. so basically, my parents aren't too keen on me getting even more tanks since those 1 gallons are very new and i already have a huge 60 gallon tortoise enclosure tank beside my 10 gallon aquarium on my dresser. even though both of my bettas are healthy and i do very frequent water changes, i am going to try to make enough money by summer to upgrade each of my bettas to at least a 2.5 gallon tank. so my question was, does anyone know of any good 2.5 gallon tanks (no more than 3 gallons please)? here are the requirements:
•less than 17 inches across (can be taller instead of wider)
•hood with LED lights (white lights and blue please)
•able to have a cord going out of the top of the tank (i have two plug in heaters that stick under the gravel)
•if possible, under $25.00? if it's a little over, that's okay, but the cheapest you know of that has these reqquirements keep in mind i would get two of them (one for each betta)
*if necessary, should i get filters? if so, they'd need to be pretty cheap and obviously low current that work with whatever tanks i get
also, please don't leave any comments if you believe 2.5 gallons is still too small. i understand that 5-10 gallons is ideal, but i really can't go against my parents. plus, the weight of the tanks would ruin both of my nightstands. i just want to give my bettas the biggest tanks possible that i am still (hopefully) able to get. thanks all!!!
