New Tank!

[BWBettas]

Ok, so i got a bit of summer holiday money off my nanny and i went tank hunting. I came home with this 3.9 gallon tank. It measures 18x8x8 inches and it looks great! i added some silver sand and added a small filter that had been running in the smaragdina tank... the tank currently has NO heater in but is at 24oC at the moment. Ill monitor it throughout the day to check what temperature it is to see whether i need a heater It will house the female in my avatar

12:00 - 24oC

Nice I love dimentions like that but they're hard to find. I eventually want to get a tank thats 36 x 10 x 10 (15.5 gallons) and Divide it into six 6x10x10 which is approximately 2 gallons each if I only fill it 8 inches high. That would give me six males to breed with.

Then I want a 12x12x9 for breeding, that would be aproximately 5.5 gallons, and 2 twenty gallon longs for grow out tanks and a 55 gallon for my girls to live in, my platy's, and my pleco. I'd probably want to try and put a shoal of hatchetfish in there too, but I don't know if they would get along with the girls.

Then Of course I would need a wall with shelves for the 100 Betta Tubs that I want to buy from Majestic Betta's...

All this of course, after I win the lottery... Or at least pay off my car and move out of my parents house.

Lol, i wouldnt mind getting some of those cups from MBB but im in the Uk and shipping prices would be extortionate!. my parents have let me get a barracks so a good 200 of those cups would be good

Is the tanks neer a window, thats a no no.

 

[BWBettas]

Ok genius you guessed where it is... Explain no-no (ive got an idea what your gna say )

Bret

With no tank heater and the tank neer a window the draughts that come through the window could change the tempature, quickly! and also is that a radiator its on top of!

AQUAKING

Do you have to be so sarcastic?

PS- the sand looks a little deep! could create dead spots

PPS- nice nets

 

[BWBettas]

Im not being sarcastic, well maybe i am, but not in a nasty way! i dont have that window open at all in the summer and im in the process of making foil boards to keep the heat in the tank so meh! anyway, the radiator is never on either so im pretty safe there.... anything else?

Bret

ETA - im getting a heater for it soon anyway
