People have said things bout them, are they expensive? I haven't looked cause walmart is 1/2 hour away and I can't drive... but don't they come with some okay accessories too?

I have a 10 gallon and 55 gallon from walmart. The tanks themselves are just fine and IMO reasonably priced. I do think that the accessories are junk. Both of mine came with Whisper filters and I have recently developed a very strong disliking of Whipsers.

The 55 came with the hood & lights, heater, and filter. The stand is sold seperately. It's been a while but I think my 55 including the stand came to about $300ish. I've since spent about $80 on a better filter (original one quit after a little less than a year) and about $30 on a better heater (original one quit after about 8 months).

I bought a ten gallon from Wal-Mart about a year ago. The tank is good, it came with a net, hood and light, fish food, Aqua Tech filter, and heater. I've used all of these accessories without a problem. I think I got it for about $60. Not bad considering some of the LFS wanted over $100 for the same thing.

hey Chipper,
I'm not sure where you live but if you look in the classified ad's in your newspaper, you can sometimes get a used aquarium for a lot cheaper. A friend of mine recently scored on a deal that was amazing from the paper. The pre-owner was tired of having it around so basically gave it away.
Keep your eye out- sometimes there are great deals.
