Desk Top Tank

Not sure if this is in the right area but could not find another area to put it in.

Well after more reaserch for my new tank and finding out i cant put a pea puffer in there

Im going to get another tank smaller about 2.5-3.5 gallons to put on my desk next to my comp.

I looked on petco.com and walmart.com have few nice ones but not sure what would be good and if there is more options out there.

Any help would be great thanks.

You can take a look at these 2 sites...you might find something else or at least another idea:
www.drsfostersmith.com

www.thatfishplace.com (I've used them both and VERY reliable).

I really like my Mini Bow 2.5, though I bought a new filter for it because I didn't want it taking up room inside the tank. It's cute with a small footprint. I'm considering getting a 5 now though - you might want to just spring for one of those to start with. They are $38 at Walmart and $60 at my LFS.

Oops, hadn't followed your link. Yes, that's what I have, though I paid twice as much, and I really like it (filter excepted).

You'd be $10 better off buying this set up then: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ndingMethod=rr

That's the same as what you were looking at, but with the filter included. However, with a tank that small and a filter taking up a lot of it, you could only keep a betta, and he or she would be cramped at that. You could get the goldfish one for $20 and buy a hanging filter (over the back) and free him up a little room.
