What To Keep My Girl In?

[archamfr]

hey.
u may have read my other post, where i told of how i got two girls, which started to chase each other round. i was going to take one back to the shop, but i dont want to do it
so i need a simple solution as to what to put her in, with things easily found around house n such.
also ideas on how to keep it near the right temp, as i doubt ill be able to have a heater. cheers

 

[lilfishie]

i thought u put her in the community? a large container should be ok

 

[archamfr]

yeh shes in com. atm but i dont wanna keep her there....

 

[lilfishie]

is it as a temporary or permanente home you want?

 

[archamfr]

perminant i think...

but maybe my parents mite feel sorry for it like i do when they see it in a lil container n mite be allowed a proper lil tank...


but for now i need a perminant residance for it

 

[lilfishie]

then something that holds at least a gallon although the bigger the better, i currently have a guppy in a storage box

You can get small proper tanks very cheaply, and heaters arent that expensive either.

 

[Fishymommy]

Yeah they sale cute little 1-2 1/2gal tanks at LPS or Walmart (didnt notice where you live) they dont cost much, could fix it up cute and even add one or two compatable fish with her. Let us know what you end up doing

Just been into town...really bad when you are in a pound shop and looking at the plastic storage containers thinking I could put a betta in here....looking at the glass pebbles....cant remember why I went in

 

[FBTgirl]

I hear you can get 1 gallons at wal*mart for $5. Or there might be a gallon at the dollar store. very cheap.

thinking of the "savic fauna box" 0128??

i wouldnt mind the 0129 but i really need as small as i can without being mean to the fish...

how would i go about heating this?

 

[zoekin8yg]

The slightly bigger one would be better if you can stretch to it heaters: http/www.aquaticbiotope.co.uk/Scripts/pr...?idproduct=1173 or there is a better one but I cant find the link, I'll find it and add it later

Here the other silly me was on the same site you linked to http/www.aquatics-online.co.uk/catalogue...ting-cables.asp the NeWattino Automatic Aquarium Heater the plus one is the best

[archamfr]

[mandiemoo]

I would presume it is a UK socket as it is a UK site
