Anybody have any Extra....?

Aquariums? Like maybe a 2.5 gallon? My mom wants my future betta to live in a GOLDFISH bowl...and I refuse to get one if that's what she wants..Sooo I figured to ask PT. A filter would be nice, and Errr..I'm a bit broke, but I will pay for it .

The only suggestion I have for you is to wait until YOU can afford it. If you know what's best for this betta, you won't let it live in a small goldfish bowl and YOU will raise the money to get the proper tank. I'm sorry.

Petsmart sells a nice 2.5 gallon tank for $9.95. It's just the tank and a glass lid, but it's nice I have one for my frogs. They also sell a 1 gallon with a light and filter for around $12. Both are inexpensive, see if your mom will let you do extra chores for some cash.

Unless there is someone in your area it would cost more to ship a small aquarium then what it's actually worth.

Yeah...Do you happen to have a link to the 2.5 gallon at Petsmart? I'm sure I have a TAD bit of cash, and that maybe I can do something for chores.

I don't see it on the website, but this is what it looks like. I got it two months ago at Petsmart, and i always see them in stock. You can call and see if your nearest petsmart has it in stock. I added a small filter to it, but you don't need one for a betta.

Ooh I like it. It's only 9.99? And...does it have any lights or anything?

It does not come with the light. It's just the tank and glass lid. They do sell lights, I think they are around $10. But it really isn't something that you need. You can do something like what i did and just have a small lamp next to the tank.

If you really must have a light and filter then I like these 1 gallon tanks. I have one very similar for my betta and he's happy and healthy. However I removed the underground filter because he doesn't really need and it gives him more room to swim around.

Hmm..I dunno yet. I'll just look and actually see what our Petsmart has . Thanks for the help.

Yes I do have extra aquariums. I'm not sure how many gallons they are... and they aren't really nice bcause we got them at auctions.

[Roxyluvsme13]

You should take pics! Hehehe. Then, I could seeee!

I have an old betta aquarium but I have no idea how I would get it to you because it would probably cost as much to ship it as to buy a new one. Let your mom know that whatever you get has to have a lid 'cause they're jumpers.

Yup! Devon told me that . I want this one betta from a Betta breeder online, but he's $15 + $30 shipping. He is absolutely stunning though, and I'm trying really hard to get $45.

You don't want a filter if its for a betta. Bettas do better in tanks without filters. Sometimes the water disturbance stresses them out.

EDIT: But honestly though if you go to Walmart they have cheap tanks.. I know their 15 gallon aquariums were like $10 when I got mine a year or so ago.

Hmm..We might look there then!
