| @Charm, do you by chance have a photo of your tank? |

| 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? |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| Do you guys have any tank brand recommendations? I definitely need one with a lid. |
| Charmed Acres |
| They are great for supplies! Our LFS actually partners with them because of how much they recommend them. |

| Ah shoot, I've got to go! Good luck with the fish Bird and good luck on wk 4s everyone! <3 |

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

| 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 |
| Backwood Barns |
| 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. |
| Versailles |
| 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 |
| Wings Of Glory |
| After 3 months of work and almost 20k down the drain my truck will finally be repaired and drivable tomorrow >_< proud of myself for not giving up |
| Dash and Duchess |
| Bird, Unfortunately I never got to try a planted tank, but I've heard amazing things! I do really wish I'd had time to lol |
