Ok I just got a betta fish today and I got it a typical tank like you see like with goldfish in cartoons and im starting to feel bad. I will most likely only have that bowl, pebbles, some sort of structure and thats about it. Could It still be decently happy?

Also betta females can be kept in groups! It is just the males who have issues with another male! But they do not mind other fish around them and maybe even like it since it mimics their natural habitat where there are other fish species around.

A 10 Gallon tank should be the very minimum for ANY fish period! If you cant even afford that than you cant afford any pets, period! 10 Gallon tanks are sold for like 20 $ at Walmart!!

I agree to somepoint but...

And I know for a fact that they are thriving

I've heard some people say that it is possible to house two male betta fish together, given that their tank is large enough to provide enough space for each of them. (10+ gals?) Is this true? Also, do you have any recommendations for brands of 10 gal tanks I should consider? Thanks!

No. Male betas cannot be put together without a divider. Especially not in a 10 gallon tank. Male bettas will fight until one of them dies.

WoW so much is going wrong going here ...
-They need more plants
-They need swimming plants on the top of the aquarium as well ( not too much tho - cause they have to breath air)
- They dont actually like moving water! so no Filter is ideal
- 30 - 55 liter is best ! not bigger, because they have a territory! They check that every now and then and if its to big they get stressed
- If possible go for a wider base aquarium not square
RM Aquatics
RM Aquatics - 7 years ago
No filter... what is wrong with you ? Yes yes they do need a filter.
Sexy Ten
Sexy Ten - 7 years ago
"No filter is ideal" 
That is completely *wrong*. Fish REQUIRE filters as they actively produce ammonia. You can easily get a filter that doesn't produce a large current that disrupts your betta fish. Fish produce ammonia every day, which is toxic to fish. Ammonia levels should be at 0ppm, without a filter ammonia would rise, ultimately causing stress on your fish. As for 30-55 litre is best thing, I'm not sure where you got that information from? As long as males are kept solitary, the bigger the tank the better overall.

Havu the Pupper
Havu the Pupper - 7 years ago
Its actually not ideal its really not NECESSARY to keep a 5 gallon they don't require much space unless your keeping some tank mates considering its one fish in a 5 gallon you could have brought two 2.5 gallon tanks for 2 bettas not needing to spend so much money on one tank because you also need to get supplies such a substrate a heater,filter, light and other plants and pieces to let him hide. So to me its overdoing the process a bit. :/
Havu the Pupper
Havu the Pupper - 7 years ago
yeah but the fish and where they come from is a dramatic difference as they are first bred in tubs with thousands of others then put into cup sized tanks to go into tanks slightly larger. I have a betta male currently in a community tank so this does not apply to me but its fine if your young.as you learn throughout owning them
TheLegend 27
TheLegend 27 - 7 years ago
If you cannot afford the basic needs for a fish, do not get a fish. A 2.5 gallon is the minimum size a betta can stay in. If you want to be spontaneous and not wait until petco has their $1 per gallon sale to get a 10 gallon for $10, maybe you should reconsider fish keeping. The tank that you put fish in is their entire world. They have nothing else in this world but their tank. You could live in a closet. Just because you fit in one doesn't mean you'd want to live in one.

No. In a 20 gallon you could have a female betta sorority 5+ females in a heavily planted tank and hope they are all docile. But you can never, ever put male and female bettas together. Ever. Betta breeding is extremely complicated and difficult and is not suitable for a beginner.

killa milla
killa milla - 7 years ago
I don't see why it'd be a problem, as long as the tank is big enough and you give the tank a little extra time for your plants to grow before adding fish. You may need liquid fertilizer for the plants also, which aren't harmful for your fish.

CrazyChicken Lady Cory's might not be the best for a 5 gallon even, cause they're bottom feeders and stick near the substrate. Floor space matters a lot and they're community fish, at least 4 or more of them and your tank floor might be a little too crowded by then.

Nikki Mata
Nikki Mata - 7 years ago
Jawwad The RobloxKid 69 I have a fairly peaceful Betta with a small catfish/ algae eater. Not a corydora, but. They're small and brown with strips down their side and only grow up to 2 in unlike some others. But I had initially to watch my betta to make sure he didn't try to kill them (there were two. One was sick when I got him and died) which he didn't he just chased them for about 5 mins. After that he was fine, but then again every betta is different and mines not super aggressive. I just recently got another male who I would never give a tank mate because of his disposition. If you do see your betta is trying to kill them please separate whatever fish from them.

ok, i know that technically, a betta can survive in like 2.5 gallon, but to be honnest, it won't be happy. in the wild, they establish a territory of about 3 meters and they live in a lot of plants. if you want your betta to be happy, put him in at less 10 gallons, with a small groupe of cory catfish if you want a little bit more activity. It's time we stop the abuse of theses fish. In petshops, they are force to live in really tiny cups, so please, give them a suitable home, give them the space they diserve. Beta can be part of a calm community tank. neon tetras and rosberas can be suitable tankmates, even for the male. Betta need our respect. im tired of seeing this splendide fish suffer in tiny aquarium. if you have a small aquarium, have some shrimps and snails, not a fish. also, it's true that fake plants is an option, but since i have real plants in my aquarium, my two goldfish are so much happier. you don't need to be an expert in plants to have some. Anubias are really easy to care for. you basiccly just need to fix it to a decoration and it will grow easilly. stop the abuse of betta plz. this video have good informations btw :).

khaki91 - 7 years ago
The size of the tank... Now that is a matter of opinion. I know people who kept healthy bettas in a gallon fish tank. Betta spendens, the colorful Bettas from the stores, which are fish that are farmed and domestically developed, they do not exist in the wild in this form. They have been raised and fully acclimated to this type of habitat. The wild species of Bettas need bigger tanks than a 10 gallon. That's like comparing wolves to dogs. Similar but quite different.

Don't you just hate how they advertise those 1 gallon tanks as perfect for bettas, I have actually seen one called a betta "tank" and it was .25 gallon. I couldn't believe it. I don't own a betta fish but I have seen these fish be abused, and have seen those leading fish brands give out misinformation. Great job Jean-Michel Gervais, and great job PurpleBetta on the vid.

I just want to update this comment a tiny little bit, because in 4 months, I had the time to learn a lot about bettas. At this point, I think that 5 gallon would be a great tank for them as a single fish. Now, I understand that keeping a betta in a community insin't always the good option. I still belive that the most space you provide, the better it will feel. Im going to get a 6 gallon tank soon for a betta and I will post some videos on my channel about that. At the current time, im doing fishkeeping videos about subtropical aquarium and im having a lot of fun, so if anyone is interest, take a look... Also, I really didin't wanted to be agressive or anything in my previous comments, so if I somehow insult anyone, im trully sorry. I was just making the point that fish are live animals and they diserve respect and the best care possible.

+rigoberto gonzalez LoL nice one XD. i was just saying that instead of puting a betta alone in a tiny little aquarium, it would be more interesting to put him in a bigger community tank. bassicly a betta ain,t a good swimmer, but he like to explore and even if he don,t need a lot of space, he will feel more confortable in a bigger tank. In nature, is not alone. let him establish is territory in a big tank and let him defend it against peaceful fish, that way it is more natural. also, a beta alone is kind of boring at one point, so yeah, instead of having one fish in a small aquarium, it would be so mush cooler to have him interact with other fish and have a lot of space. If you want schooling male tetra, 100 gallon for each would be ok XD. imagine a 600 gallon with only 6 betta in it XD. that would be stupid and ugly XD. since the day ive write my first comment, ive been thinking and sometimes, small tanks are actually perfect for fish, but the thing is that you must know how to balance it with a lot of plants... in a bigger tank, their is more room to avoid mistakes. i don,t have a problem with a tank that is fool with lots and lots of fish if the aquarium is proprely manage and water change are regular. Im probably not the only one that prefer a higly stalk enourmous tank to a tiny tank with one fish. then again, everybody have opinions and as long as the fish have some place to hide and other to swim, im ok with it...:P

so what your saying is put a betta (one fish) in a 100 gallon tank

That make more sens... i don't know why I said that 10 gallons was good for cory catfish eather... moral of the story : we all need to do a lot of reaserch and try to have the most space possible for the fish :). thanks for correcting my mistake, i do realize that 20 gallons is a minimum for the corys :). Corys are trully good for a community tank, but like you said, they need some space to... :)

+Jean-Michel Gervais darn it! That was a typo! I meant 20 gallons!
Bob J-M Gervais
Bob J-M Gervais - 8 years ago
I just have a question... when you say they need 10 gallons, is it for a single fish or for the school of 6 ?
ShadowKittyKat Thesmolbean
ShadowKittyKat Thesmolbean - 8 years ago
+Jean-Michel Gervais yup! I'm pretty sure you can also have albino and bronze cories. You can have albinos with one type, because it's just a color morph. Fairly sure it's bronzes
Bob J-M Gervais
Bob J-M Gervais - 8 years ago
yes, cory like to be in groups. they have better social behavier and feel mush safer when keep in group. it is possible to have corys of differents species in the same tank and they will interacte with each other, but it's true that they should be kept with individuals of the same kind.
ShadowKittyKat Thesmolbean
ShadowKittyKat Thesmolbean - 8 years ago
just remember this!

Dwarf cories have a minimum of 15 gallons while others have a minimum of 20 gallons, and they need to be in groups of 6+ of the same species ^^

if im planning to use live plants, how long does it need to take before i can put a betta in my tank. coz from what i've read. u have to let ur tank cycle first
MrKazuma52
MrKazuma52 - 8 years ago
so wanted to say, your bettas look beautiful, they look really happy.
lots of good information on your video and better then some I have seen, one little thing I personally would say is while you can get a bigger tank, don't make it a deep tank (due to them being air breathers of course!) but otherwise, you had some good information in it and that is really just something to add onto the tank sizes!

this will change once they mature. you should seperate the males. google on how to tell which is a male or a female (and no it's not only about the length of fins... short tail males DO exist)

For the ones that hang on the back, I would recommend not using them on betta fish with big fins and tails. I had one for my rose tail (or rose petal) and because his fins are heavy, he had a hard time swimming through the current. He has a sponge filter now!!!

If your betta doesn't come up like that when you approach the tank it doesn't like you or the food you're giving it. Has nothing to do with the size of the tank.

How can I tell if my betta has fin rot or is fin nipping? I've been trying to treat him for fin rot but his fins won't heal at all
Linn Andersson
Linn Andersson - 8 years ago
Thanks! I guess I'll try again with more water changes and salt 
PurpleBetta
PurpleBetta - 8 years ago
Fin nipping usually appears more stringing/choppy looking in appearance. Fin rot looks more like "burnt edges". Usually I just treat it like fin rot because fin nipping can become fin rot fast. Do regular water changes, clean water is your best defense against fin rot :)
