Yes that is what I have. They are lovely! I also have blue mickey mouse, and sunset fire wagtails.....each in different tanks!
70 uk is 58.3 us gallons. There is a handy converter up at the top under 'Articles"....but if you post from a phone? I don't know how much of the site you can see.....  |

Hi!
Great! Are you planning on getting any more tanks soon? I might grab up a friend's tank - they're leaving the hobby because they finnaly found an algae their BN wouldn't eat!
Michelle, can I just ask you what foods do you give your Bettas? I can't seem to find anything apart from 'TetraBetta' for them round here.

will mayb end up with another community tank soon. Me and my partner like different sort of fish. I like colourful fish. My partner likes "normal looking fish" whatever that means! Would love to keep a betta as well after reading all the posts on this forum bout their personality.

Hi!
Oh yes! I think you should look into some of those mini starter kits, (NOT those 'Elite cool' piles of junk...) they're great for Bettas. AquaOne do an OK one called the AquaStart 320. The filter is rubbish (Just get a Fluval 1+ for £15!), you have to buy a heater but the actual tank is nice.

Hatchet, the only problem would be getting a betta. Every shop i go in in the midlands never seem to have any in stock. And sadly the ones they rarely have are in community tanks. Though i do need to do research into shops in my area i only know of a couple and not impressed with majority of them. J
