Betta Fish

Gumball Machine Fish Tank

You will need:

Various assorted screwdrivers
Drill and bits
X-acto knife
Sandpaper or sanding block
Hacksaw
A gumball machine on a stand. Do not try this with square gumball machines. They must be round, preferably glass.
Glass and glass cutters (or the phone number of a glass shop)
Silicone aquarium sealant (must be aquarium sealant, as bath sealant is not as strong and may contain chemicals that will harm your fish)
Rust-proofing spray paint
Push-in rubber grommets
Nuts and bolts and washers as needed
Some scrap aluminum
Gravel
LED Betta light
Small aquarium filter (I used a Penn Plax Smallworld Filter)
