Looks a nice size dosen't it? Pricey yes......but i get my christmas bonus and have £10 eBay anything voucher doojy-whatsits.

The most splendid looking Fighting Fish are males; the females are much duller by comparison. Male fighters will attack other fish it perceives as a threat therefore you must only house one male in one UMA but you can add a couple of smaller female fighters for company but no other fish as other fish attack the fighter's long fin tales.

oohfeeshy, i missed that! blimey!!!

that tank looks too small, and wey overpriced, i dont like how they say the fish are better suited to tanks that small, does anyone know what gallonage it is? from the dimensions given..

 

[guppymad]

how would you heat it or filter it?

does anyone know what gallonage it is? from the dimensions given..

I made it about 1.5USGT, but it is only 5" wide (a bit less actually), wouldn't like to put a 2.5" fish with a tail about that length again in there....

I think it's cute. I also came up with the 1.5 gallon calculation. It looks alot smaller in the photos.

For that much money, I bet you could get two of another. That means more fish! I don't know... I don't really like the looks of them.

Check this out, I found it in the Buy, Swap, and Sell section. If you divided it it looks like you could fit two bettas in there. And it's already planted! Seems like a good price compared to what you found on Ebay.
