Big Enough For A Betta?

[Joshwainwright]

Is this big enough for a betta, I don't know how big it is...

Also, what would I be able to use as lighting as it is underneath my main tank.

 

[weejen]

from what i can tell i would say its big enough for a betta

It looks plenty big enough to me...hard to say though.

should be looks like a 20l or similar

small arc lamp could be use for lighting

Going to save up for a small filter then, think I have a heater in garage.

That looks similar to my Rena half-hex 30litre tank. Mine houses a betta and 5 pygmy corys, and a shrimp.

If you're not worried about live plants, then you could probably make do with some of those LED lights, which I think are made by Marina/ Hagen... something like that lol.

Nice betta tank just get something tall for the betta to rest on near the surface

Got some nice, tall standing slates.

Hi Josh,

Do you have a lid for this tank? It would need one because bettas do jump and you might come home to find your betta all dried up on the floor!

Yeah, its a bit cracked but it will do its job...

 

[silverrabbit]

Some slate stacked quite high would be cool - but best to stick them together and make it stable, otherwise if it fell apart your betta could be squished.

And Ceejay's right - deffo need a lid - only needs to be a piece of perspex with some holes drilled through for air, or something like that

Edit: ha, sorry, I see you have a lid, ignore my last sentence, hehe

All I need to do now is save up and convince my mum that I won't steal her money on paypal again.
