Betta Splendens In A Fluval Edge, Advise Please

[LilyRose Tank]

Hi there. Yes it's me , I am back again. Anyone got any advise about keeping a Betta in a fluval edge 46l?

It's on the small side, but acceptable. You will need to leave an air space between the water and the top glass, and you might need to baffle the filter.
 
And cycle it, of course

I see nothing wrong with this tank. If you follow Fluttermoth's suggestions of leaving some space between the water and glass as well as doing a (fishless) cycle I think you will have quite a happy little betta .

Yep. I would leave about a cm between the top glass and the water level, as well as making sure there is some ventilation (never had this tank before)

There's plenty of ventilation; the lid has a mesh top (I have one, although it's not running atm)

Ah. Did not know if it was solid or not
