is this a good tank?

[wolfsangel]

ok i have a two nicely sized former betta tanks,--that will no longer hold bettas-- that i need to put to good use. here is a image img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn0903jn6.jpg

if this would make a good tank for a small CP please let me know, i didnt want to build one in it and accidentally kill a good plant XD

so any suggestions?

How big? The picture doesn't tell much without some to compare.

if it was holding betta's it's probably not terribly large. you would have to have a very small plant in there.

[taz6122]

Just because there were Betta's in it doesn't mean it is small. Betta's live a much happier and healthier life in larger tanks. It is cruel to keep them in small containers like the pet store does.

Should be fine for drosera.

to taz its about a nail larger than 5 inches all the way around(its a cube)
it was a small tank and thats why im changing it.

on the second note drosera plants would be best i think too because they only get about 1/2 inches big XD

so any other plants? and what do u suggest on the substrate mix, i know they are from a rather sandy area so the soil has to drain well
but is there any specifics anyone knows of?

Most drosera will do well with the typical half perlite, half sphagnum peat moss mix.

You could also do pinguicula - in which case you'll prolly want something a little more sandy and open.
