khrislee Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Jul-2004	i saw this on ebay and it's pretty cool. i was wondering what i could fit in this small bowl. i want the fish to be nice and happy, which i understand might be pretty difficult to achieve. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20755&item=3734679091&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

I really woldn't put a betta in there however, as it's very open and bettas are known jumpers. Maybe a few plants and a shrimp ....or spare change for the fish . ^_^

I did have my bettas in 10 gallon tanks, but they stayed in the same hidden spot all the time, even though they were alone in the tank. Mine (and I'm sure there are others also) always like the smaller tanks. Happy bidding if you decide to go for it!
