Guilty as charged when it comes to starting out with the SpongeBob
tank. We've got the 20 gallon now and a 5 gallon with a Betta. Who
needs crack when you have fish?

I did try a Betta in the large tank, after the Blue Dwarf Gourami died.
After keeping a close eye on it, we moved it back to the 5 gallon
within a week because of fin nipping. He is much happier now.

Thanks for sharing the information about your aquariums.

Although I've kept aquariums for most of 40 years, my teen-aged daughter
brought home a tiny "aqua-buddies" plastic bowl with a dwarf african
frog a few years ago. We soon upgraded her to a 2-gallon plastic
aquarium much like your Sponge-Bob tank, but unfiltered. That's all she
could fit into her bookshelf where she wanted it.

The frog survived 8 months to a year with regular water changes, and
then she got a betta and heater. After having the betta a year my
daughter went away to university, and I looked after the betta another 6
months until it died. Now I raise snails in the 2 gallon plastic
aquarium. Guess I remembered your small aquarium because of my daughter's.
