Looking to Upgrade: Suggestions?

[Kon]

My betta is currently in a 1.5 gallon tank (I do a lot of water changes to keep the water clean and clear). He recently start nipping at his tail out of boredom so I'm looking to get him a new tank hoping the extra room will cure his boredom. I'm looking for a desktop tank thats around 4-5 gallons. I have looked at Petco and Petsmart and haven't seen the perfect tank yet. Any suggestions? :) And I'd love to see pictures of your own tanks~

Low filter heated wider that taller bigger tank the longer betta lives also add varied food like some pellets flightless fruit flies freeze dried brine shrimp a floating betta log my fish loves fish I keep mine in a 10gallon tank but you will probably have to buy a new filter.

A lot of people like the 6.6 gallon book shelf tank from petco because it is longer than tall..

Im not sure what kind of heater you have in your tank, but for a 2.5 gal tank you need a 25 watt heater but no more than 50 watts... adjustable with a thermostat.. heres a good one if you need a new heater ;)

Petsmart had the 5.5g Top Fin starter kit. Marineland also has a 4g tank, which can also be found at Petsmart; it is more expensive than the Top Fin though.
