Leaking Divided Betta Tank !

minxfishy · Sep 8, 2008

My divided 3 betta male tank has sprung a leak from what looks like the bottom as the water is slowly seeping out from underneath it.

I have absolutely no cash at all to get another tank for at least a week. Now hopefully once its drained I will be able to find the leak and seal it with silicone but in the meantime I do not know where Im going to put the 3 boys.

I have a bucket I can put one in with the heater and filter. A goldfish bowl for another but no filter or heater (this can be daily water changed i guess but no idea how to keep it warm enough) and possibly a jug for the other (again no heater/filter), obviously the one in the bucket should be ok, but Ive got a nasty feeling the other two wont without a heater.

Anyone other ideas on what I can use - I have an airpump and bubble disc that could be used in the bowl but its no replacement for a filter.

Nightmare

Hi minx
a customer who comes into our store keeps and breeds her bettas in large glass jars with no heaters and no filters,
so i presume that as long as the room is kept as warm as possible, hopefully they should be ok,

Really, ok well I shall do my best, thats good to hear, shame this kinda thing doesnt happen whilst we actually have hot weather.

Had a thought, I can put the most mild mannered in a 10g with platies, female guppies, rasboras and corydoras and hope hes ok with them for a week.
