What Do You All Think Of This Tank?

[x-Twinkle-x]

Just looking through eBay for another betta tank so I can buy another betta boy & I came across these. I'm not sure about them, what do you all think?

It says that a filter & heater can be bought with them too.

It says:
The UMA has been designed specifically with beautiful Fighting Fish in mind. The size is perfect for the Fighting Fish to swim freely and still feel comfortable. They don’t like to be in a large tank but nor should they be kept in small containers. The optional extras such as the ferns and caves will give interest to the fish as well making the UMA look even better but an absolute must is the Firefly heater. These fish need to be kept at a constant temperature and the Firefly is designed to maintain the correct heat at all times.


Also, what colour do you think is nicer lol? If I do get 1 I think either black or white, as that's the colour of my bedroom!

How many gallons is it?

The tank is only 3 litres, which is 0.79251616 US gallons and 0.659907745 UK gallon. So, no, I wouldn't go for it.

Oh, thats not alot lol!

Maybe not then, thanks!

 

[xweeqtx]

No problem. With Ebay pictures are often misleading. The tank looks nice and doesn't look that small lol.

 

[x-Twinkle-x]

Yup lol I know what you mean, and there's a whole load of writing about it saying how brilliant it is, sounds a bit dodgy but I still sort of liked to look of it haha!

looks nice but, way too small.

 

[MermaidMel]

I saw them too but again, I would say far too small even for Jai lol

That's a bit weird. It says

Length 240mm, Height 190mm, Depth 128mm.

3ltrs

But if you go http/www.fishfriend.com/tank_volume_calculator.html and use the dimensions given, it says 5.47 ltrs which is 1.44 gallons, so virtually double.

you could easly DIY one to look like that.
(240 mm) X (190 mm) X (128 mm) = 1.54191943 US gallons
(240 mm) X (190 mm) X (128 mm) = 5.8368 liters
(240 mm) X (190 mm) X (128 mm) = 1.28391598 Imperial gallons

I agree with it probably being to small, I think it's mainly a gimit just so you'll buy the tank. However I've kept some of my bettas in 1.5 gallon tanks (have 3) for months until I was able to find some larger.
