Joshlikesfish Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I got them from a local Beta breeder in CHCH the jars the jars look to hold aprox 2 litres and are about 150mm in diameter and 200-250 tall.. they might even hold 3 litres.. i just thought they were a good size for Seperating fry as alot more space than most cells have. the jar does have a embossed brand on one side but small price really They are large preserving jars... Where abouts in nz are you? shipping would be the only issue if you wanted them i were going to put them on trademe as I have about 30 of them going unused I'm in auckland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 You can also pick them up from other second hand shops, recycling centres, garage sales and school or church fairs It is bottling season so there may not be many about at the moment.
