gumball machine betta fish tank build

You can sure try! now I could get a return on my investment

 

my inspiration(s) for this fish tank

 

I filled the tank with water before going to work this morning and plugged in the heater.

When I got home, the water was a good 85 degrees!

Luckily, when I bought the heater, I had also bought a thermostat from Hydor at the same time. So, I got it out and plugged it in for a test...




I had to find a way to stick the temperature probe in the tank. The only think I could readily find was a paper clip lol




I let it set for a while and got the temperature to stabilize at around 79-80 degrees. Perfect!



I got a fish tonight too ;D But it's gotten so late, I haven't even got a picture yet. I'll try to get a few good pics tomorrow.

 

vary cool nice gum balls cany wait to see a fish in there

 

Thanks! I'm about to post some pics with a fish

 

ok, three days ago I bought a fish! I took pictures that night, but I haven't had time to post anything since then :-/

 

I almost forgot to mention, I was starting to worry this little guy was gonna starve to death. I tried feeding him the first couple days....he'd bite the food, then promptly spit it back out! He would do it over and over, as if he didn't care for it.

Then today he finally ate ;D and he got a lot more active too.

oh, and I named him Tiburón.

 

this is such a cool build i bet that betta doesnt know how lucky he is

 

You're probably right! I've been thinking that I should put something in there that will give him a place to hide or sleep, but I'm not sure what would look good. Maybe I'll just stay with what it has now for a while

 

Yay finally have a fish in there!

Nice blue one too.
