Petsmart Guy Was Wrong. What now?

- Start date
So I just went back to PetSmart and bought some goodies ($200 worth) for the 40 gallon. Bought a new filter because the one I currently have touches the bottom of the tank (which I can only imagine is not a good thing).
Carch: We have decided to get a betta for it, as far as the frog goes - do you think I would have a problem with it getting out since there is no lid on it?
aussie: It's alright, the last one to die was kind of a jerk anyway.
rainbowcharmer: Yeah it's a shame getting a different story every time you go. I'll definitely be asking my questions on here from now on. Everyone seems extremely knowledgeable AND nice. I run a vBulletin forum myself so I seem to be active on the ones I join.
Danny-O: I did skim through it, but I will probably have the girlfriend read it as her memory is incredible! :hypnotized:
RodInCALIFORNIA: So the guide said
Arembjorn: Lol, that seems pretty bad.

one small thing with that little fluval tank - make a lid of sorts for it, especially if you decide on a betta for it. bettas can and will jump!
That sucks, i'm not exactly good at "making" lids hah. Hopefully I can come up with something.

places like Lowes or Home Depot should have plexiglass, and they would probably be able to cut it to your dimensions for a small fee. just make sure you have uber correct dimensions!
That's extremely nice to know. How would I feed them though? Can they like cut a door? Or would i just pull it out? I need to get one made for my 40 gallon as well.
Oops, forgot to say thanks :bowing:

if your 40 gal is a standard size tank you should be able to find glass lids for it at places like Petco, Petsmart, etc. glass lids can either be hinged or they can slide open. i recommend the hinged ones.
as for the custom fluval tank lid, it'd be easy enough to lift up one corner of the lid when you are feeding, you don't really need a door in it. just get it cut to sit on the top edges of the tank so it looks nice and doesn't overhang.
