1-2 gallon tank

[JAYJT]

Hi people,
Since reading various posts on here i have now decided i want to get a betta and want a small tank 1-2 gal (which seems to be the norm for keeping these great fish alone.
I have just spent an hour and a half searching online to see if there were any places on the net that sold them in the uk.
I want it one with a light fitting already in the lid does anyone know from the U.K. if there is such a site???
i dont need anything else as i have just been given a small pump and heater

Can anyone help

my LFS does not sell them and nor does his supplier, either that or he could not be botherd as there not alot of money

Cheers

I would go for a 5g that way you could add some cories and it would really benefit the community (OF 1 betta ) as they are interesting fish and eat up all that uneaten food

Do they make heaters for small tanks? I want to get a small tank (less than 5 gallons) for a betta and was wondering if there are heaters for them. I haven't seen them in stores but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.

Are their wal-marts there? Wal-mart sells a heater for 2-5 gallon tanks. They also have a one gallon tank with pump, undergravel filter, and light for 20 bucks. They have one for ten but it doesn't come with a light. It's in the shape of a triangle. They say they can be used as bookends. Eh, whatever.

I would firmly suggest a 4 gal tank! I chose a Hagen Hex a' fun tank (4 gal) and a visi-therm 25w heater. My Betta loves it and there is enough space in the tank to put a few more fish aswell

i would suggest ebay for the best deals

E Bay sounds better than Wal Mart. I don't like the Mart. They are like department store nazis.

Someone asked about heaters for small tanks. One thing to remember, when incandescent lighting is used versus flourescent, it will heat the water when left on. I have a 2.5 gallon housing 3 tiny tiny dwarf puffers at the moment and the light alone keeps the tank at a good temperature, with only a very slight drop when the light is off at night. At the moment I am trying to find the tank I want for them but as they are in good health and aren't suffering from the drop in temp. which is around 1-2 degrees in about 12 hours, I am in no big rush. Just wanted you to know that so you don't overheat the fish. Also, bear in mind that if that small heater malfunctions, in a small tank like that, it won't take long to cook your fish! I wouldn't use a heater in anything smaller than a 10 gallon but that's just my opinion!
