Betta Tank Sizes

[ryanp15]

I was wondering how most people keep their bettas, as I'm not sure how much room to give my bettas

are most single bettas kept in about 2-3 gallons? and... are they as happy as they would be in say a 10 gallon?

2gallon IMO is the smallest

10 gallons would be fine

what I'm really looking for is what size tanks do other betta keepers keep their bettas in? I've read that around 2 gallon should be about smallest but i want to find out actually what anyone reading this keeps theirs in thanks anyway

We've currently got 3 males in a divided tank giving them 2 gals each.

2 in a 6 gallon divided tank and 1 in a 13 gal.

We also have 8 girls in a 15 gal.

The Betta I will be getting will live in a 15 gallon. I refuse to keep one in anything less than ten personally.

I have all mine in 1 US gal. containers atm. I'll be setting up my divided 10 gal. tanks soon though. I just make sure to stay on top of the water changes, 50% 2 times a week.

and my 6 girls are in a 7 gallon

I have an 8 gallon tank divided into two compartments, so each betta has 4 gallons.

My male is in a 6 gallon tank, and I have 7 females in 15 gall.

ok thanks now its helped me to see actually what people do keep their bettas in, instead of what people think they should be kept in.

my betta lives in a 55 litre (14.5 gallon) community tank and loves it!

I have 1 male betta in a almost 2 gallon, but I also do 3-4 100% water changes a week.

I am getting a few females soon, they are either going in the 29 gallon if they and the platys get along, or in the spare 6 or 10 gallon if they dont get along, with an extra almost 2 gallon if one of them is crazy.

My boys are in a divided heated and filtered tank which gives them 6G each. I wouldn't personally keep one in anything less than a 5G.

My 3 male bettas have 5g each and my 4 girls are in 30g tank. They all have filters and heaters.
