I've seen these fish bowls floating around Ebay and Amazon, and was just wondering your guys' oponions on them. Hanging fish bowl
I think it looks neat, and would be a real space saver, but it would be difficult to heat. Its dimensions are 11(h) x 11(l) x4.5 (w), and I don't know how many gallons that is. It looks just a little cramped for a betta. Maybe better for some smaller fish, like two or three tetras.
Ya thats too small for a betta , bettas need at lest 2 gallons or bigger and the tetras need at least 5 gallons because their shoaling fish and yes thats how you spell shoal
I've seen those before and I think they're like .5Gs which is WAY too small for a betta. Like Jayy said, they need at least 2Gs. And it'd be way too small for tetras also.
They have these horrid things here called ula-loops now that are only 1.5 litres! They look a bit like those, but they're far too small for a betta, and they would be hard to heat and clean.
Good idea DQ! I little nano planted tank for maybe some shrimp! i couldnt imagine you would have to change the water to to often for the shrimp... i donno. But i would never put a betta in there.
My friends roomate had those - even had a betta in there.
I came back about 2 months later and there was no fish. I'm not sure how often she changed the water, but needless to say, the fish was long gone before then.
My brother got one of the hang on the wall tanks for christmas a couple years ago,meybe longer.(this is wen i had no idea about how to care properly for them) The tank got really dirty real quick. wen i learned a little about bettas i tried a little filter. didnt help at all and it was hard to get it just right so the outflow would flow back into the tank. So i made my brother move the betta to a differnt tank.(cant recall what i moved him to becuz it was a long time ago)
Anyways, in my experience, they are not sutable for bettas or any fish.
