Regular Member nickie73 Posted December 26, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 26, 2007 Okay, I got a gift card from Wally-Mart and I was thinking about getting a 5g tank and a betta. My question is, do any of you know of a 5g kit that comes with a filter, heater, etc? Also, since the betta will be in a 5g, as that tank is so small, will the 5g cycle? What about wcs in a 5g; how often, how much? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Shamu23 Posted December 26, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 26, 2007 yes a 5 gallon can cycle. As for waterchanges if it has a filter u coiuld probably do a 30-40% waterchange once a week, thats what I do with my tropical tanks, although the bettas get 100% waterchanges every couple of days cause the dont have a filter, except my 1 betta is in a 3 gallon now cause they got their new tanks so I'll probably do a 90% waterchnage once a week cause it also has a filter. The 5 gallon eclipse hex tanks come with a biowheel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member bettaqueen Posted December 26, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 26, 2007 Wally world has the 5 gallon minibow that comes with a filter and filter pad. you can adjust the filter flow as well. They costs around $50. I was thinking of getting the eclipse 6 gallon with the filter in the lid. Wally world has a knock of version of the eclispe . Eclipse makes it for wally world and puts a different name on it. you will be able to tell which one it is. I have had three of the 2.5 minibows and they all sprouted big cracks and leaked .

Regular Member love-rabbit-fish Posted December 26, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 26, 2007 I was thinking of getting the eclipse 6 gallon with the filter in the lid. Wally world has a knock of version of the eclispe I have one of those. Currently, it's being use as a quarenteen tank. It's nice and i really recommend it. Mine makes a small tickling water sound though. Plus I only got it for $5 at a flea market LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bettaqueen Posted December 26, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 26, 2007 wow that is the best kind. Wish I could find one that cheap. I eventually am gonna break down one of these days soon and get the 6 gallon one they make for wally world and divide it so I can house my male and female in one tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nickie73 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions! I will have to look around and see what I can find. What I will prolly do is get the kit and set it up and do a fishless cycle, then get the Betta. Thanks again!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member arabpaso Posted December 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2007 Here's my 5 gallon tank kit made by TopFin. It came with a Whisper filter. I currently have 4 guppy males in there--I love it and they seem to as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member abeadle Posted December 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2007 I once purchased a 10 gallon for 10 dollars, a 5 gallon was a freebie, and I paid 5 dollars for a 2.5 gallon with a filter. I keep the 10 as an emergency tank for goldies and the 2.5. as a spare Betta tank. I only buy things when I see a really good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bettaqueen Posted December 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2007 the secret to pet -smart is to print the add off the website and make sure the pet-smart banner and internet price are on there and take it to the store and the store will meet the internet price . The store price is usually more than the internet price but it you take the print off in as I said, the manager will meet the internet price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
