Hi, welcome to the forum.

Are you looking for a new tank or is used/second hand a possibility?

Are you in the US or UK?
What is in your 5 gallon and are you planning to move it to your new 10 gallon?
Does the 5 gallon have a heater and filter? If so what are the make and model and wattage.
If you want the complete set up, call a couple of fish stores or big pet stores and see what deals they have. They can give you a price over the phone.

You can find 10 gallon tanks at like $12. Then you have to buy a heater and a filter and possibly a lid depending what it comes with.
I would definitely recommend getting a 10 gallon tank because not only does it look nicer, but you can fit up to 10 fish in it.

sorry but you need to disregard what this person says - - you can not fit ten fish into a 10 gallon tank. the 1" per gallon rule is a complete myth for 99% of the fish out there - - it is a way for pet stores to take advantage of people and trick people out of their money.


Before you stock, let us help you. The biggest mistake you can make as a new fish keeper is to buy a fish on impulse with out doing research before hand to learn about its tank size requirements, if it is a shoaling fish, if it is territorial, adult size, if it has any special water parameter or dietary needs etc etc.
