3D model description

This design is for any betta fish tank.
βœ… Compatible with both rimmed & rimless aquarium
βœ… Compatible for all tank sizes (2.5 - 50gal)
βœ… Incompatible with fish tank that requires a lid
βœ… Sturdy design, glass jar stands straight up at 90 degree angle
βœ… Improved viewing angles it easier to observe and appreciate the beauty of your betta fish

I had test printed this at least 10 times, works perfect on all of the parts.

Version 2.1 has been updated on July 26, 2023.
- Add a large size holder piece for user who would like to up their game with a larger glass jar that has a wider mouth.

Version 2.0 has been updated on May 29, 2023.
- Decreased the height of the hooks on both left and right side (this allows the glass jar to go above the water line even more, more room to see your betta fish)
- Changed the shape of the triangle area on the hook to decrease printing time.
- Removed the holder piece near the end of the hook as well as the hole on the holder piece as it is unnecessary. Once all three pieces are assembled the holder and hooks stick together more flushed.

Enjoy printing, take a shot glass every time you see your betta went up the jar :)

Tips:
- I noticed printing without support is a bit better for the hook and the holder. However, it looks a bit funny there but it doesn't matter as you won't see it in there once it is in water hidden behind the glass jar. I found it stays more secure there as well. Try for yourself and you be the judge.
- Use pliers to remove support.
