Dont see how youve betta'd that its not the same deal for a start;
I agree its Cheap but you dont get half the stuff,.. No filter, No airstone no air pump + what gallon/ litre? + no Light You dont need a airstone for a betta but hey it comes free can use it in another tank.., dont really need a filter but i use one and would recommend using one if you dont lol Tbh it looks a nice tank i have one but it didnt come with the rest and it was £30! Good for kids aswell Overall a nice starter tank or for a betta... |

Hi
Yep i saw they were coming in too. Problem being I believe they are plastic and for that price probably very thin plastic. That means that if you put a heater in it the plastic will go brittle. Brill for warmer climates though. Worth a look just in case |

That's a really good deal! IU wish I could find something like that in the US. You could even divide that tank and use for 2 bettas! It's a great deal!

I think wilkinsons have the same tank, have done for a while now but it's slightly more expensive at £22.50(I think, or 23.50) so if you don't manage to get one at aldi try wilkos.

Wilko are very good.
I got some of the aquare vases yesterday. only 3 quid and perfect for a betta. Also Instore/Range sell acrylic CD/DVD Cubes that are very good size for a fighter. Or any Housewares shop that does those huge glass/plastic storage jars. Or I re-use Mars Heroes tubs aswell. Large Mayo Jars from the 99p shop. |

I got a similar one that Asda sell for 19.99 with everthing. Have had it since mid last year and so far no prob with it being plastic although they do scratch easily if your not careful.

Well done on the re-sale.
I bought one of these today for my first betta. [: I love the little castle, it's so cute! Went down to the LFS and got some de-chlorinator now I just have to wait and test before I can put my little guy in there. How long would you say a fishless cycle would take in one of these? Also - They don't give you much gravel! But that's cheap as chips so no worry. I bought some of the tropical food they were selling too. My other fishies love it. [: |

Tbh i wouldnt use gravel on a small tank as they get dirty quick although they do look smarter!
Id say a week but tbh ive seen people just add fish on the day and theyve been fine, if you have another tropical tank could just nick a little water from that and add it aswell to speed up the process? (dont take my word for it wait to for someone to comment ) Dont add the water from the bag in to the tank though |
