I am currently interested in getting either a 10 or 20 gallon tank to house several female betta fish. Can anyone recommend a website where I may find a good tank at a reasonable price? I have already checked petsmart.com and their prices are a little to high. Thanks!

You might try the classified ads in your area. Sometimes you can find a really good deal in a used tank. Just make sure to have them fill it up and make sure it doesn't leak BEFORE you buy it. Also, in my experience, I always recommend getting the biggest tank you can afford simply because the more water you have the more room you have for a small mistake. Also, you tend to always want more fish then your tank can support. Also, female bettas need a lot of hiding spots to keep them from killing each other. I would recommend at least a 20 gallon for them. Good luck!

If you are willing to be patient and watch the listings regularly, Craigslist is an excellent source. I had to watch for 2-3 months, but I finally got a 60 gallon tank with stand that was $300 new for only $80. You can often find people giving away their old aquariums for free as well.

I got a 10 gallon from WAAAL MART. It came with nothing, but the tank.. it was 10 bucks. cheapest 10 gallon I've found. You'll have to buy the lid, filters... etc. Good Luck

For a cheap price on a tank in that size range I have found it's hard to beat a yard sale or the classifieds in your local paper. Remember that shipping can really run the price up if you order online.

Wal-Mart would be your best bet. They sell all different size tanks, and they sell them complete w/ hoods, lights, filters, etc. They only thing you would have to buy is the gravel, decor, and fish.

Craigslist. Generally you'll find a few on there, and they almost always come with filter et al.
Craigslist! ::smiles:: I can't say it enough.
