Except bettas are much more happy with a territory that they can defend. They are fish that are solitary by nature. All they want to do is to have an area that they fell comfortable defending. Numerous people on this very board have had problems from having the fish in to large of a tank. There is no biological need for a tank that big for a betta. They don't need it and most are more comfortable in a smaller tank. These are animals driven by instint and not IQ.

i have over 50 bettas. most are more comfortable in larger tanks. tell me again how big a rice paddy is? oh right, the size of a football field. 10 gallons is not too large for a single betta to defend. i and others have done it numerous times.
