Betta Homes

[BeautifulBettaFish]

Hi Everyone, I just got my betta fish Angel & hes in a shamefully small glass "Bamboo Betta Bowl" ,i want to get a bigger home for him ,but i dont want plastic & I dont want a typical fish tank ..so if any one has any creative ideas or links to unusual betta or fish tanks please let me know, Thanks !

you don't really have many options. I would just get a standard glass tank and decorate it unusually if you want it to be creative. Your priority should be the welfare of the fish.. so you need to get him into something bigger asap.. even if that means a plastic storage bin.

well of course the well being of the fish comes first ,but that dosnt mean you cant have both ! anyway its like a snow blizzard here so it will have to wait for now...

I wouldn't go for the BioOrb or any other spherical tank... spherical tanks are known to cause eye problems in fish due to the way light reflects in the bowl.

[veganchick]

really? I have never heard that.... Or seen that happen.......

Appearnatly some places don't seel biOrbs for that reason, though I don't really have anything to say about blindness since my tanks aren't round. Biorbs are too expensive for me, but I think they look really nice. :)

Sorry to jack your thread, but I've got a 3 gallon aquaview 360, not completelly spherical, but it is cylindrical. Would that reflect funny? (I plan on moving him to a standard 5gal after i have the time and money to buy and cycle one, but wouldn't want to do alot of damage if I can avoid it)
