[Gill]

Hi Guys

Just had an @mail From Bio-Orb.

They have Confirmed that they are Launching a Betta BioOrb.

It Will Have No Filter but will come with a Built In Heater and Retail For £30.00.

They are Going to Send me Some Brochures Before the Launch So I will Post Info When I get It.

They are Gonna Look Very Very Good.

Hmmm... Depending on how big the tank is, it's pretty pricey, but since it comes with a heater.... which are usually £20 odd... not bad, i suppose. Put up pics when you can, plz!

for 30 bux that thing better have 1g of space, a light, heater, and bubbles, it must also play music.... im content with my bowls and tank

do you know what it will look like at all?

whats so great about a bio-orb. U can get a 5 gallon tank for about the same price here.

Is that anything like the betta bio-sphere? Don't know if you have them where you live. The bio-sphere only holds about a quart of water, and has a little light over top of it. Not very nice for a betta. Hope the bio-orb is better.

AlexsDaddy, they'd be more like the goldfish BioOrb (I think those ones are 30g), so they'd probably be quite a bit bigger than the betta bio-sphere.

How much is 30 F (money..I don't have that little symbol lol)..because a 10 gallon tank here is only $10. lol

£30 is roughly US$16

a 5 gallon here is £40 (US$21) cheapest (only have 2 fish shops on the island)

I bought the goldfish biorb and was very very disapointed, it is nice as an ornament but to have fish in it it is rubbish (only my opinion) dont think i will buy the betta biorb but am interested to see it

 

[newfishies]

isn't 1 pound like $1.80?

 

[sylvia]

I was going to say that £30 is more like $50 and £40 is more like $70.

 

[Bettaman]

£30.00 is more like $56.00 give or take a few cents i can get a 20 uk gallon tank for that.........

Over in Sunny Happy UKland, I expect to pay £1 per litre. I have so far to see a really cheap tank. EG. An 11 litre tank in Wilkinsons is £10. A 4.5 litre "goldfish" tank from Pets At Home is £5. You get the picture. And a heater is £20 ish.
