Woohoo! good luck Tony! I'm so jealous. I really want another betta tank, and I thought I'd get a 10, then I could divide it later if (when) I want to get another betta and start collecting them . Go the 10 Tony! Have fun

Thanks everyone!!! Im heading off to the LFS at around 3:00, so untill then, i have to be the best son ever (not that im not ) so i can bribe my parents

So here is what im still doubting on:

here's the info on the 5g:

The Kit comes with the following:
5 gallon tank
Hood
Sponge filter
_____________
Total: 550 pesos



Info on the 10g:

Kit comes with the following:
10 gallon tank
Internal Filter
Heater
dechlorinator
Methylene blue
Background
Sponge (for wiping algae)
gravel
3 plants
_______________
Total: 440 pesos


The reason im doubting is because of the hood. I can get a glass top for it, but i kinda want a hood, and the hood itself is worth more than the kit itself... what do you think? i guess i could make a DIY lighting of somesort

let me know what you think...
you bunch of enablers

Maybe you should just get a sponge filter cycling in another tank and have Grandma buy a 10 gallon here at Walmart and bring it home to you....You can get the whole kit including the filter and the hood for $39.00...You'll need a divider of course lol

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get a tank today Tony.

I wish i lived closer to you i have 4 10g tanks I'm not using right now, some even have dividers siliconed in!

Hello Tony. I believe everything happens for a reason even though we don't know what that reason may be. More time for you to plan your tank or reconsider the plans that you have perhaps? Try not to be too upset. Chin up young man!

I find that weird that the 5g costs more than the 10g. You're getting a great deal on the 10g for about 34 bucks! Wow thats a bargain with all the items included.

thanks guys. In the mean time i can plan my ligthing, have the glass top for it already, so its a waiting game. i MADE my parents promise they would get it by the end of this month, so it wont be long

yup, i went to see the tanks yesterday, and the prices are different lol
5g is actually a 6g, and its 599

The 10g is 455, so im going with that one

End of the month? That ain't long. Just an idea, but how I usually wait before I get a new tank is I would imagine how it'd look like, or plan what fish, or even just walk around a fish store and just look around for what I can get even if I've already got it. It helps me pass the time Keep us updated. Hang in there, cheer up.
