funny idea

[Sgooosh]

Can you afford different tanks & leave the betta alone in his own tank? I found a betta setup on Craigslist.$40. 10 G hooded nice tank with filter, air pump & huge basket of chemicals. Seller was a kid going off to college & her siblings & parents didn’t want the betta. They lived in a huge gated McMansion development I had no idea even existed.

The day before I was to pick it up, the girl called to say she found it severed in two parts & wanted to sell the tank etc for the same $40.
She was so upset that I didn‘t try bargaining. The tank was littered with ugly decor & the most likely cause of death was some godawful big fake seashell she had in there. idk.

So I bought the setup, still an excellent value minus that pretty peach colored betta. Then I ordered my purple guy on ebay. I would never expose him to other fish or any source of potential harm after listening to that poor girl sob & I had kinda fallen in love with his pic.
All the fake crap decor was immediately thrown out. There’s only some live plants & a few snails in his tank.

yea ok the whole point of this thread was that i was just wondering
im too broke to afford more than one betta

Sorry for losing track. My point was fish & equipment can often be inexpensively purchased secondhand

hello im not sure where to put this maybe it is best in equipment
i am going to make a tank divider, and wondering if i can make it so that some smaller fish can visit the different tanks, but the bettas will not be rude to each other

Safest way to do this is to make two identical dividers and reverse them so the bettas cannot see each other even if they poke their head through. Or just use two. Refer to diagram.
