I saw that tank. I like the color of the hood and the 2.5gal. Minus the decor for me.
Great tank for a little boy!

I have that tank for my betta!!!! I added some silk plants to it, and Root Beer loves it! I bought the light for it, too. Here's a pic...

Nice!!

When I decided I wanted to get a betta last year, that was the cheapest tank I could find. For some reason it was half price. Hated the filter (old Elite mini...too strong), though, so I had to buy a new one.

[PiscisAmor]

Oh I love how you set it up newfiedragon! And good to know about the filter... However my parents can take care of that. I've already spent 50 bucks on this whole shindig

[newfiedragon]

I think they changed the filter in the newer kits...that was probably why it was half price, it was the older filter. But I might be wrong on that. According to the website link you showed, they say it might have been discontinued.

If you put sponge over the outtake with a rubber band, then it should be fine. That's what I did with mine for my female betta.

[PiscisAmor]

It has been discontinued. The mermaid version is still around though

[PiscisAmor]

It. Had. A. Crack.

The tank was cracked. Not even kidding. He was so excited, we got it up and running and filled and cycling and decorated and then we realized that the water level was dropping. GAHHHHHHH!

LPS has another (their last one) on hold for me.

That sucks!!!!! Good thing there's another one, though!
