    I don't understand why people insist on keeping fish 'tanks'  anywhere from 2 cups to 5 gallons. These are living beings for crying out loud. 

    Would YOU want to spend you life in a tiny cage?  Fish need room to swim around-why? Cuz They are FISH-that is what fish Do. 

    Ten gallons is a Minimum for a fish tank-20 is better. Does it take longer to clean? Yes. Is it better for fish? Yes. 

    Granted, a 10 year old is not going to run a 75 gallon like I do, but Geez, give the fish some room to move around and enjoy life.

    A 2 gallon tank is too small to be reliably heated and the mechanic products for them are also unreliable.  Sorry,
