No. Nalo is in a 20 gallon long, which is about 12" tall.

My 20 gallon is an Aqueon, my 40 is a Marineland (I think). I love them both. And if you buy them new, stores will have a return policy on them in case a seam leaks or theres a crack you can't see.

The only time I recommend buying second-hand is if you're purchasing a large tank and are willing to learn how to reseal it. Otherwise, it's cheaper (and safer) to buy from a store!

Oh also, I heard betta fish like shallow water so does that mean something as tall as 12" is too tall for them?

Do you guys have any tank brand recommendations? I definitely need one with a lid.

They are great for supplies! Our LFS actually partners with them because of how much they recommend them.

I was thinking of ordering supplies from this company. I have heard good things and they have good guides.

Checkout used tanks often people will be nearly giving them away, just make sure to fill it up outside first for a few days to make sure it’s not leaking. Never take a tank with cracks even if they’re small and are current ply holding water

Or, you can typically do it cheaper by piecing it together yourself. Tank, light, cover(optional), heater, filter, air pump, airline hoses, bubble wand, substrate, and then obviously decorations (nothing plastic) and the fish.

I reccomend tetras as well, you want a lot 10-20 as theyre schooling fish and they have a high casualty rate especially when you first get them

You can get a 20 gallon tall kit at most pet stores for about $200 that will include just about everything except substrate, plants, and fish.

Bird, I loved my tetras, I believe I had the 2 for 4/5 years? But do be weary when you get them, I originally had 4 but unfortunately we lost 2 very shortly after due to the 'professionals' we talked with I'll informing us on the best amount for our tank!

Like with anything it takes a lot of research (and it's a bit of an investment) to do things right.

Bettas are definitely able to get away with a 10. I just wouldn't go lower, they explore and swim around way more than people realize

For preferably a smaller tank. Less than 20 gallons.

slow feeders..??? January 31, 2023 04:33 PM

does anyone have any reccomendations for boarder/renter safe options for slow feeding ideas for horses?? love hay nets but my colt chews on ropes that get into his stall so i need a good brand to look into for nylon thick web ones however my mustang gelding throws the hay bag around and often rips them at the seams any thoughts? i genuinely want their hay to last them a while but i feel like my gelding just finds ways to eat it all at once and wont take his time with it. (shoves his nose through the corners of the hay nets or the best one....learned to undo the velcro and just eat out of it like a bucket) i wanted to try those roller hay balls that they can interact and play with but i see them being a safety concern with them getting their feet in the holes(my horses paw at toys) especially the yearling colt. i want something that can fit a good ammount of hay and i cant drill holes in the stall so need something boarder friendly that wont cost me thousands any ideas?

I use hay chix nets. I also put mine in a 150 gallon water trough, tied down inside. So they eat it slow without pulling it out and ruining it. They both get around 25 lbs of hay a day, free choice and it lasts nearly 24 hours

Porta grazers are expensive but well worth it. Nibble nets are nice but might not be durable enough for your colt.

i thought about those slow feeder bins but my concern was them getting their leg caught in it because my horses paw at their hay while they eat

I recommend hay balls. Cause you can hang them aswell as let it roll around. Also can be used for grain and for horses that get board very easy. (You can find "bigger" hay balls)

I highly recommend the Ultra Slow Feeder hay net from Chick's Saddlery. You can get them online and 2 flakes of hay last roughly 9.5-10 hours. I also agree with Bioshock Manor that putting them in an empty water trough helps eliminate waste and will keep your gelding from throwing the hay net around.
