Setting up my tank, need advice...
I'm mainly wondering about tank size. The tank I want to get is 6.6 gallons, but maybe a 2.5 gallon tank is better? I have the space, its the price that is er, concerning.
My "betta kit" list:
Tank $40
Test Kit $26
Thermometer $2.39
Prime $3.99
Substrate $24.99
Safestart $7.99
net $.99
Heater $17.99
Driftwood $4.99
Java Moss-2 tablespoon sized clumps $5.96
Betta Food $2.99
Java Fern (2) $5.96
The tank is the biggest expense, which I understand, but can I get away with buying a cheaper heater or substrate or something? I don't want to cut corners but my original budget was $100 or LESS.
