I currently have 1 Betta in a 1 gallon tank with a light... The tank was given to me by my teacher after all of her fish died (Huge goldfish were so squished they had no room to open their mouths... Poor things)
I found out that I could have $50 for Christmas spending money, so the first thing I thought of was: MORE FISH FISH FISH.
But of course I'd need a tank or so to go with it. I'd really like a few more male Bettas, and am still pondering if I should get some females too. I don't necessarily want to breed them yet, since they'd have no where to go....
I have AN ENTIRE BASEMENT TO MYSELF!!! MY HOUSE IS HUGE! My parents were all like "The basement hasn't been renovated, and probably never will... Why don't you put your fish in there?" And I FREAKED, because I can even grow live food in there- no one ever looks at it!
I know all of you totally freak out over keeping fish in small spaces... So how do I do it so I don't go over budget, and meet all the needs of the Bettas? I'm looking to get about 3 or so more Bettas...
What should I do? =O
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
-There are no sinks or water sources in the basement... So when I have to do a water change, I have to walk all the way up 30 stairs and back down with water.
-I did see a very nice 10 gallon tank at Petsmart for $14.
-I'd really like to have a few dollars left over if possible...
-I CANNOT buy over the internet.
