I would use it as a breeder to help out with my lot. My 4 tank breeder are all 2 gallons each and perfect for breeding and the first couple of weeks of growth for the fry. Still need a lot of water changes though, fry tanks get very messy very quickly.

lol, no the MTS did.. we sold them and now have room for another tank (that 30g tall) and money for more fish supplies.

Is it wide or tall, if it's wide it would be better than if it's tall, bettas could care less for tall tanks.

What about a nano saltwater tank

COBettaCouple

it's a tall 30g tall. ..it'll house either angels or fancy gups.

Kevin

i would breed some angels and swordtails in the 30 gal.

COBettaCouple

yea, that's something we're really thinking about.

plecolover

a betta would be good for it 2 gals is plenty for a betta

armadillo

Yeah, mine's in a tall 10G and it IS a waste of volume, really. I regret buying that tank but gotta use it now. But still, better than a cup, hey.

Sabi

Mines tall too.

armadillo

Well, you know, it's not going to hurt them or anything. Only they're shallow water fish, and they like to swim horizontally rather than up and down, but it doesn't have to be this huuuge problem or anything.

Sabi

Thanks for the encouragement!
Actually i'm till debating on the betta. itl really be aweful if lose another one! On the other hand i know i will take a crack at keeping one again sooner or later. But then i've been contemplating a dicus tank as my sis has taken the 8gal and i know i definitely cant have 3 tanks!!!

armadillo

Wow, you're thinking of discus? You're so lucky. We never could have such a big tank in the house.

COBettaCouple

sure you could.. just get rid of the bedroom furniture and sleep on the floor.

Kevin

thats what i'll be doing as soon as i can convince my parents to let me sell their furniture

COBettaCouple

lol.. yea, let us know how that goes..

how can you live without a tv?? wow - i just typed all ofthis without seeing the keyboard because my moms cat is in front of my face!!! LOL! Miley

Good luck iwth your betta

COBettaCouple

lol.. well, there's no sports on now and i've figured out a way to use my video editing bay to output a digital cable signal into a portable DVD player so when the few shows we watch are on, we can watch them. after the move, we'll get a TV for watching the games on. I hope you can read this with your mom's cat there.

Kevin

no sports?? !!!!!MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL!!!!!
i'm hoping to go pro someday, so i watch baseball every chance i get

BettaBuddy ~ Miley

oh LOL! i am always watching TV , on the computer, on my cell phone, out side playinfg, swimming, and everything! and im homeschooled so i do school work during the day Miley

Kevin

dang...thats a lot of tv! i wish i had the money to get tv on my phone...shhhhhhh...*dont talk about cell phones while flbc is around...it might make him cry when he remembers he doesnt have an iphone*

COBettaCouple

iPhone!!!!!!! how i miss you!

Tom

A 2 gallon tank is good for an Iphone? I think I missed the majority of this conversation.
Tom

COBettaCouple

lol.. i think we're on another rabbit trail. somehow we got from a 2 gallon tank to iPhones..

Tom

Ya, poor Sabi for getting her topic taken over by you and .......... ......... ......... .........(enough .........'s) Kevin.
Tom

Sabi

Lol i think a new type of fish is an 'iphone'! a Betta perhaps? only that will be too big to keep in a 2gal! But the phone iphones i hate! I think they are huge bulky and awkward! I dont mind internet on a cell (so then i can go on fishlore) when i'v free time but the page never opens! Ah well.

COBettaCouple

i've done some web browsing on one and things loaded excellent. without reading any manual or instructions, web surfing was a breeze. it's so much easier to use that other phones.

so Sabi, have you gotten a Betta for the 2g tank?

Sabi

Nope, not yet. As i said earlier (i think) the 8gal cracked, had to fix it. i'll only fill it with water to night. the fish from the 8gal is in the 2gal at the moment. So only once they go back to their tank i''ll see about the betta.

Amnagrla

I agree with you. MLB is the ONLY sport!!!!

haha, jk. But really, baseball is my favorite.

COBettaCouple

LOL.. well to each their own.. we're into football (US - NFL & NCAA), football (EPL & UEFA CL), hockey, basketball (playoffs).. even some arena league.

Kevin

GO BRAVES!!!
