my betta dresser!

[tacofrano]

i finally made it so everyone whould have 1/2 gallon or more to themselfs. the bowl is 1.5g and the tankks on each end are 1/2 g (when i get a chance i will buy 1g each for them) and then the rest glass bowls are 1g.
i think it turned nice what about you guys?

looks nice, I wish I could get some bettas!

 

[GSD]

cool thats the sort of thing i want to make this summer to rescue bettas!

 

[tacofrano]

i love the bowls great thrift store find!

 

[love cichlids]

thanx you gave me a great idea, i have been wanting to clean up the top of my dresser, and get some more bettas. I have a cool petstore on the southside that have rare bettas from thailand, they are beautiful. Some cost $20.00 but are worth it, once i get some and get a digital camera i will put some pics up.

yea hangin out here will definately get u addicted to the little guys, i like your dresser, i juts have 2 giant industrial shelves taht take up 50% of my room

i like how u have the containers decorated, but it looks like there isn't a whole lot of swimming space for the bettas, a bigger habitat would be great but i understand if thats not possible for you, they will be fine if u keep teh jars clean

 

[tacofrano]

yeah lol they spend most of their time sleeping in the caves or blowing bubbles lol. hopefully in the nest week i can replace the 1/2g tanks with a 1g glass bowl like the rest. belive me if i could they whould have 10g tanks to themselfs!

*thinks about going home and cleaning off the dresser*

.....

 

[tacofrano]

it works out really nie the only problem is the top shakes just a little when you open doors but ohh well.
i was going to get this corrner shelf but i said "ohh darn it dosent have enuff shelfs". lol its getting sad

 

[BettaMomma]

I have a solution for the shaking problem when the drawers come open.
Rip the drawers out and make shelves inside the dresser for more bettas.

Problem solved.

bloody hell they can live in things that small! they're basically jam jars!

 

[tacofrano]

orientmatt- what are you talking about they are all above 1g except the two end ones and the fish are still young.

bettamomma- great idea till my mom kills me for it lol.

 

[orientmatt]

sorry if I sounded a bit patronising (I am new to this betta lark lol) but it just seems incredible that it is possible to keep fish in such tiny containers/tanks/aquariums/jam jars!(whatever you wanna call them)

 

[tacofrano]

i dont know if you read my toher post but a 2.5 gallon and tanks like that that are $30 or $40 are just out of my budget right now expecially for 6 fish

Think of it this way, orientmatt, have you seen what they live in at the lfs? Some fish go months on end, even a year in that kind of condition. Even something like a one gallon is heaven to a store bought betta. And they are well taken care of. Bettas have been accustomed for hundreds of years to live in much worse conditions than this.
