got me a lil asian tank!

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, i cant believe what i bought.

I went back to aquagiant, and was gonna get the T-5 for 40$. I walked over to some small tank corner, and a chinese 3g with curved glass (hard to make), filter, T-5, net, and plant was 5 bucks more. I ended up getting the 3g now. How do these things happen?

Basically the only thing that could go in a tank that small was a betta, and i want to heavily plant it since its got a T-5. However, ive heard that paradise fish can live in 3g's. true?

Yup, way too small for a paridise fish. Also, making a curved glass (yours is probobly acrlyic) tank is not that dificult.

[cocoa_pleco]

darn, i thought that paradise fish could go into a tank that size.

The tank is definitely curved glass. The front is curved, and the back is siliconed.I heard that curved glass is hard to make.

I guess i'll go beta betta then

What's a chinese tank? :confused:

[Drumachine09]

Not difficult at all. Expecially when you use machines to do it, like they do.



You really want ANOTHER betta?

[cocoa_pleco]

it's definitely a chinese tank. It has that OH so sexy rimless top, and a lil asian filter thats WICKED.

I dont really want another betta, so i guess a few cardinals would work. I have to get a pic of the tank when its done

[Drumachine09]

Cardinals need a school. 3 is too small for a school IMO. You could do a planted tank with cherry shrimp. Thatd be pretty sick.

[cocoa_pleco]

cherry shrimp would PWN! First off im gonna need a crapload of plants

[Drumachine09]

Java mosses/fern, moss balls, riccia tied to a rock or a little peice of drift wood, and some taller plant in the back.

[cocoa_pleco]

i think im gonna go with java fern, a moss ball, maybe a cabomba stem, and some of that grassy stuff hungryhound recommended

You gotta love the photoshopped fish they have in it .... lol!

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, thats exactly what it looks like!

lol, like the way they have 3 discus, a angel, and some cardinals living in a 3g

[coachfraley]

They do that on all of the aquarium packages. They might as well put a reef shark on there!
