i voted other, i would recommend 2g plastic storage tubs because they are so easy to maintain and the fish love them. but the shelf u wanna use might not support teh wait, i dunno. the containers can be purchased at a thrift store real cheap, or walmart.

with no heater, in the uk? Surely thats not a good idea

Id go with one big tank divided off

Its fine, none of my betta tanks are heated. Besides, you have central heating on in winter.

 

[black angel]

how much does each one hold? then i would vote for the biggest.

 

[GSD]

the bowls about 1.5 gallon i think depending
not sure on the kritter keepers ask OohFeeshy she has loads lol

 

[Saucy]

I like the Aquarium Feeders better than the critter keepers. The top hinges open instead of popping off. They're about the same price anyways and the big ones are about 2.5 gallons. Good stuff.

i picked critter keeper.. if its bare 1G but if there will be gravel and what not 2G

I think the round plastic ones look nice together and should be nice for the fish too. The kritter keepers are also nice.

 

[tacofrano]

if you are rescuing bettas its not a good idea to put them in a divided tank. o like 1g glass bowls the best

 

[GSD]

yeah thanks for all replies i am still debating weather i want kritter keepers or bowls
im leaning towards bowls becasue i can fit more of them in
but kritter keepers are bigger

 

[Booboo puppy]

It seems to be that the shape of the kritter keepers would make it easier to fit more of them together than the round bowls.
