where are these available?? i have never seen one before and i found it while i was looking for a 10 gal hospital tank for my baby Tiger oscar who is nearing critical conditions (Fin rott & facial damages from cichlids possibly).

i want to get SOMETHING suitable to nurse my oscar in TODAY/ASAP as i been neglecting it long enough due to being at a week-long camp for schooling.

where on earth do you get these things? and i want one because its ALOT cheaper than buying a whole new/ used tank atm.

looks like it can be used as a tank within a tank and if thats the case i could use it for feeder fish/new fish and whatnot in the future couldnt i??

main thing is i need something before my oscar dies... this looked like the perfect cheap way but the damn guy didnt even leave contact info!!!

Uh... might as well use a 5g bucket if ur gonna resort to that. Throw a sponge filter in there. And since your in Hawaii no heating issues.

i dont have a sponge filter =/. i want to do the most humane thing, idno how my sensitive oscar will bare (emotionally?) being alone in a solid, plastic bucket.

meh... im really stuck. lol its currently 3:19pm and i dun wanna be sitting around too long pondering less i loose another day to give the oscar antibiotics for its increasing finrott and abuse.
 
Make a sponge filter! Take any piece of tubing and stick it down inside a sponge. Try to get the tube a few inches into the sponge but not all the way through. Put an airstone in the tube, bob's your uncle and you've got a sponge filter! Or if you have an extra HOB filter you could set it up on the side of a Rubbermaid tub.
 
still wondering where to get these drop-in thingys.

im going with the sponge filter idea... but id like to have one, it seems cool.
 
it think drs foster and smith sells those.
 
smith? the gunstore?
