Answer 2

Try local pet shops, have come across a few in small markets (bit of a surprise) but they are quite cheap if you only want a small tank and fish. Whatever you do, make sure you don't put the fishtank in direct sunlight as apart from boiling the fish alive you will find that you will spend more time cleaning it than enjoying watching the fish swimming around:0)

Answer 3

Wal-Mart has a 1-gallon mini tank with light, air pump, and undergravel filter. Can't keep much in it, but it's be great for a betta, and a good start. Also, you could get a 10-gallon tank for under $10, and the filter and air pump areen't more than $7 a piece at Wal-Mart. Petsmart also has good deals sometimes, you just have to be on the lookout.

there is a little known web group called freecycle. It is commited to people giving things away that they cant be bothered to sell or take to charity shops or the tip. You can sign up for group and you will recieve emails showing you what is currently available.

I have gotten a few things off of here such as an 85 year old tenor saxophone case (looks cool) and tables. There are often people giving away fish tank type equipment too I would try there first

you do no longer might desire to pass and purchase the "stable" water from the keep - you have each and all the water you decide on precise there interior the old tanks. while you're unlikely to be using the tanks, seize the fish (a clean field is the least perplexing way of catching them and motives the least stress. Use the internet to inspire them in in case you will be able to desire to). as quickly as each and all the fish are of their boxes, circulate the gravel in the process to the recent tank, take something of the water from the old tanks and pour into the recent one. upload the old filters' media to the recent clear out, putting off as plenty new media as you will be able to desire to create area for the old media. this type, the clear out would be greater or much less cycled instantly away. initiate the recent clear out. place the fish of their new tank, and precise something of the tank up with clean water (from the faucet - yet use dechloronator and warmth the distinctive water with the kettle in case you will be able to desire to). shop on moving embellishes and plant life and so on. go away the lighting fixtures fixtures off for some hours to enable the fish de-stress.

Answer 6

small independant ones are good...

but wen i got a small fish tank i had it up against a wall s i went to B n Q and bought a small little thin tube light thta you can stick to walls and i just put that behind the fish tank, it cost me £3.50 and came with batterys...

still use it now on our "hospital/nursery" tank as weve got a bigger one now...

but they are good if you want to start out with as youve got to get the wire and make sure your tank accepts and is saf for a light to be put in...

either way i suggest for a real fish tank light going to a pet store...your looking at around £5 for a 30cm one with out the plugs or wire...

hope it helps
