you opinion of Bio orb tanks.

My husband's friend at work has one they want to get rid of. Now my husband wants to put it in the bathroom. I have seen them before and I am wondering several things.

1) Is the bathroom a good place for a fish tank? It would be on the LARGE sink counter which is big enough for two sinks, but only has one.

2) Where do you put a heater in a bio orb?

3) I think I would only put a betta in it. What do you think?

4) how hard are they to clean? Because I'm not sure I have time for ANOTHER tank, but I do miss having a betta tank.

5) What type of substrate would you put in the tank?

Anything else I might have forgotten to ask that you know about this tank be is pro or con please let me know.

I would not get it.

The biorbs don't allow for much swimming space so ultimately the fish suffer. They're just not fish friendly.

They're pretty good for shrimp though.

thank you! I will tell him to not take it. The only thing I could think of to put in it was a betta because they are not an overly active fish, but it just looks funny to me.
