Betta tanks.

[Luke_e]

Where do you get them? Is there a good website where you can buy them?
Or do you just buy gold fish tanks and adapt them for bettas?
Thanks.

It really doesn't matter what you use, as long as it is atleast 1 gallon and it can hold water. Kritter keepers can be used, 5 or 10 gallon glass tanks can be used, large jars or vases can be used...rubbermaid containers...bowls...etc.

Oh, thanks for that, never thought.

If you shop at SAMS WHOLESALE go to the chip department---they sell stuff like cheeseballs, animal crackers and other food items in large see through plastic containers, these containers (the larger ones) hold aprox. 2 gallons or maybe a little more. These are usually pretty cheap, about 5.00----if you got time go to a yard sales, you can pick up alot of 1 gallon or better containers and or fish bowls, aquariums little to nothing.

A good place for cheap tanks is Wilkinsons. They sell 3g tanks for £4.99, or 1g tanks for £1.89 (but they're a bit too small IMO and round), and they also do utterly brilliant tupperware/plastic containers that are perfect AND (and this is the best bit ) stackable. They do 6.5 litre ones, although they're a bit narrow for adults, but you can get bigger ones for excellent prices.

!!! Never thought of wilkinsons, bargain shop. Thanks, lol i'll go down tomorrow after school and buy one. Cheers.

They also have nice natural gravel and cheap fake plants. I like the ferns best, they are a nice green colour, soft, natural looking and spread out a lot.

Hey, sorry Luke_e, didn't realize you were in the UK--ya your right I guess sometimes I don't realize how much of a blessing it is to have so much at our fingertips here in the USA---not meaning anything negative whatsoever about the UK--I was stationed at BENTWATERS AFB, close to Ipswich back in 82-84 enjoyed my time there and loved meeting new friends there, it was a great experience--like to bring my wife and kids over someday, but money is a big issue there. Wish you the best at getting finding a container for your betta.
