Ok I have a managers betta here at my desk, "Eddie" and i want to get him a bigger home to live in but am not to sure if I should ask his owner first or just do it.

 

[VirgoWolf]

Maybe give it as a gift? Other than that, I say ask. Some people get really defensive if you invade there things like that, although I know I would appreciate something like that, not all people will.

 

[SeaMonkeyMiner]

I would definitly ask the owner first. Explain to your manager why and that you think the betta would enjoy a larger tank. Are you buying the larger tank? What happpens if he wants to take it home with him? Are you giving him the tank a present then?

 

[sweetvegan74]

go with it

Hmm, well if you take care of Eddie, then I would just go put em in a bigger aquarium. Having a nice set up will not only impress little Eddie but perhaps the manager as well.

 

[ninamarie]

I might ask her if she wouldn't mind if he went in to a bigger tank and see what she has to say.
If not then I can say I tried.

Also he is huge ginormous! makes flipper look like a baby

 

[Fishckabibble]

where did you get flipper nina? i cannot find crowntails anywhere but nline. none of the lfs around me seem to carry them.

 

[ninamarie]

A co worker got him for me I willask him where he came from. I think maybe Petco. They have nice crown tails at my PC.

 

[MOsborne05]

I got my crowntail at Petco too, it was the only place that had crowntails around here. Normally they are not with the other bettas though. The one by me keeps them on a shelf near the live plants, and the regular ones are on a shelf at the end of one of the aisles.

 

[ninamarie]

Yes that is what mine does too.
So this weds they get more in so I will see.
Hey I wonder what they do with the ones that don't sell?

 

[pigs_fly]

ya, my PetCo has crowntails as well

 

[ninamarie]

This tank

This is what I want to get for "Eddie"

 

[pigs_fly]

Awwww, its so cute!!! I like it. How many gallons is that? 2.5? I hope all goes well with Eddie What kind of betta is he?

 

[sweetvegan74]

This is what I want to get for "Eddie"

It's adorable. Eddie will surely love his new diggs

 

[MOsborne05]

Is that the mini-bow? If it is I would vote against it, especially if you want to keep live plants. It has a ugf and so the gravel has to be like 4" thick to keep live plants, plus ugf's are loud and messy. I bought one for my betta originally and hated it so then I got the 5 gallon hex. I love the Eclipse tanks with bio-wheels because they are so quiet. What about the Eclipse 3 gallon?

 

[ninamarie]

That tank is a 1 gal it's bigger then what he is now (vase) and that is hekka bigger then the vase. This is the vace she has Eddie in

..Ignor the flowers but that is like the vase he is in. 1/2 gal if that. I cahnge it weekly,
The new tank has this..
Kit Includes:

Under-Gravel Filter: To keep your aquarium clean
Air Pump: With air tubing and air stone
Gull Lighted Top: With feeding access
Just Add Water, Fish & Decorations

Wait 24 hours and then visit your pet retailer to choose the fish for your tank

 

[MOsborne05]

I'm just not a fan of undergravel filters because they are noisy, especially if you are keeping it at work. That's definitely better than what he's in now though

 

[ninamarie]

It's a mini 1 gal and I have 2.5 for flip and being it's not my fish I can't really go hog wild on him. the tank is 17.00 at PetCo so maybe I will get him one or a 1 gal bowl like this...

 

[MOsborne05]

Yeah, even that 1 gallon bowl would be better than what he's in now, and its cute

 

[ninamarie]

He has never had a filter or light so why shock him with those things

 

[ninamarie]

Ok here is the vase that Eddie is in, My old betta(rip) is the one in the picture.
