Do you think they would be good for dividing up for male fry once they can be separated?

the ones for £1 each? yeh id rekon so, they would be perfect if you have a way to heat them all and have the space for them

Yep got an empty pantry with shelving and heat mats

Who ended up with one in the end?

Mines up and running,

Il probably buy some substrate , at the minute il just cycle the tank,

Came with lots of stuff i never added in to my final setup,

Its going to have as clear a sand as possible and a some nice plants then fishiesssssss

Tank looks tiny in the pics but its not as small as it looks pics dont really do it justice

i'm a bit confused??? that tanks got an undergravel filter, so without substrate you can't cycle it.

Its coming out for a normal type filter, it was just for show today for the picies of it setup how it came if you get my drift lol

oh ok, fair enough.

I can betta that....go to wilkinsons, tank £4.99, nice size for a betta and square, gravel about £1.50, bridge ornament 99p, silky weeds about £1 (dont get the fern ones they foul the water up something rotten), and even water conditioner about £1.29...... about a tenner!!

yeah Wilkinsons amuses me with its fish section, everything is so crappy and lame, but its cheap, so i buy some ornaments from there, the 11litre tank is good value for only 4.99, (2.4 UK gallons), whereas Wilsons charges you 12.99 for a 3 gall (which i bought two of)

The gravel is alright too, although its ugly and cheap (lol)

btw...take that shell out (unless its fake)

it will raise your PH, - not good

I don't think I would ever spend that much on a betta tank (I guess I'm cheap). I always use large plastic food jugs, they make great tanks. Nice and clear too and I can always replace them easily if they get really scratched. $10 if I want it to look nice, $7 if it doesn't matter.

Haha! I buy .8 US gal containers from the dollar store for, well, a dollar, lol. I just do 2 50% water changes a week and all is well. I'll have my 2 10 gal. setups soon enough though.

Shells out as soon as i took the pic all come out bar the water

Wilko are very good.
I got some of the aquare vases yesterday. only 3 quid and perfect for a betta.

Also Instore/Range sell acrylic CD/DVD Cubes that are very good size for a fighter.

Or any Housewares shop that does those huge glass/plastic storage jars.
Or I re-use Mars Heroes tubs aswell.
Large Mayo Jars from the 99p shop.

please do not use these for betta's, they are 2 litres big

I really want this but my dad wont let me have it

It's good, I've been to the shop and saw it. The plastic is quite thick so I can't see it being a problem.

I have £50, but I found a 160L tank for £35, so I can't have both.

My dad says I can't have either
