Looking for something glass and at least holding a gallon of water
for my bettas, I saw more than a few tanks in the Goodwill stores
where I live. They were all 50% off that day. I would have grabbed a
few but have nowhere to store more tanks. They ranged in size from
10 gallons to a large one no one knew the gallonage of - all with
stands!!!!
I did find some cheap 1 to 2 gallon jars for 50% off. :-)))
===================================
I have a betta in an antique gallon jar. Looks cool. I have another
old jar from a soda fountain, probably 3/4 gallon, round from above, oval
from the side. I have to put some water in it and see if a fish would
look distorted.

$ So far only the pickle jar really distorts them but the betta I have in
that is so old and decrepit he looks bad anyway. I'll let him live out his
life in it.

Smith & Hawken has some beautiful, expensive gallonish-sized footed vases
that I would love to use for bettas! I've seen nice ones at Michael's,
Hobby Lobby and Garden Ridge too, for less than S & H. Where else...oh
yeah, Pottery Barn.

$ Those places are too expensive for things to put fish in. :-) I paid
less than $2 each for the huge jars I got at the Goodwill store. When
you're retired you gotta pinch pennies.
