How big of a q-tine tank should I have? The biggest fish I'll be keeping would only be about 6 inches. I have a spare 1 gallon tank in my basement. If that isn't enough, I also have a 2.5 betta tank. I guess I could move the betta out and put him in the 1 if worst comes to worst. I don't need any bigger than that, do I?

go out and get a 10- 15 gallon tank. 10 gallon tanks run about 10.00-13.00 at petland

Even though I have enough money to buy $10 tank, I don't have the space for one, or money for a filter, heater, etc...

u can risk it, which should be o.k, but if a last restort try stacking the ten gallon on one of your other 10+gallons. this is not safe, but can be done. as for filters, you dont need to aget a 35+ dollar filter, there are some that are only 5$. and also a heater isn't nessecary. even warm water fish can live without a heater. and it is starting to get warmer in Ny.

Well, I am talking about worst comes to worst, so I guess I really don't have to debate about it unless I actually have a problem. I guess if I really needed to, I could pick up a 10 gallon. Right now, I'm going to stop worrying about it. Oh, and I do have an extra filter, I just found it, so I won't have to worry about it in either case.

Well, I could put it on the floor, but it would have to be next to an outlet. That limits where I can put it. Plus it seems a waste to buy one unless I'm sure I'll need it. If I ever have a problem, I'll run down to my nearst petland. Right now, I'm gona forget about it.

thanks for the help
