setting up my 47 and preparing for a betta

That tank is 125 gallons and I understand a standard 125 gallon is only 72 x 18 inches, which is too small I'm afraid.

I'd say so, but it is a BIG tank. It'll probably be an 8ft tank or something like that.

Unfortunately plecs and bala sharks are both tropical fish! Maybe an inground swimming pool...

maybe!

Wow, that's really not much at all! I wouldn't mind it as my own tank, though... Especially for that cheap. The ones on eBay around that size are all £500+.

180 gallon tanks are still not big enough for bala sharks. They need very long, wide tanks.

Like others have said, I advise that you just give them back to the shop. Most shops will accept them. Having to find a tank for them will be a pain in the neck anyway, especially when you're living at home with parents.

"Sell" doesn't sound "free" to me, lol...

Snails are good allies to you as they are algae eaters and detritivore
