and how would i find out how aggressive my betta is?

thanks

a 10 litre bowl is about 2 gallons. Its small for even just one betta on its own. No more fish unless you get a bigger tank I'm afraid

hmm the store said this tank was a good size for it... coem to think of it, im not 100% about the capacity of the tank. the size is around 12"X6"X8" roughly - just eyeing the dimensions. its not really rectangular - more of a rounded rectangle in shape. it might b 5 gallon tank, cause the dude at the store told me to put 1 tablet of this fungus cure in the tank, and 1 tablet is for 5 gallons of water.


sorry for the lack of info

Yes its a good size for betta, but I wouldn't add any more fish at all. If you want more fish than get a new tank

yes williams right, you need a bigger tank if you want to add more fish, putting more in a small tank would lead to big problems,

good call hehe... just gunna wait about a month i think, by then il have some cash from the new job =) will prolly get an aquarium tank... and in the mean time learn more from this awesome site =)

the store, pet smart, is selling an aquarium kit for like $230 cdn, so i might look into that... although ive learned oen thing - dont rely just on those kits, cause it aint half of what u really need LOL.. ive spent like $70 cdn on a small tableside tank thats prolly like 5 gallons, when i thought i only needed the tank and kit - which cost $20

heh, well it was worth it =) my betta is swimming happily around his tank, in and out of the plant hehe.

i still got lots to learn, so ul have to bare with me

Happy to help Some very good deals can be found on the internet (especially in America) or perhaps you could go second hand, try ebay they have a load. This should all save you some money and is how I intend to go reef which otherwise would be astronomically expensive (for me a student anyway).
