IMO its fine, are you going real or fake plants? if fake get silk as plastic tears there fins

 

[bae1994]

ive already got real ones dont ask me what ones there mixe XD

In all honesty? NO. While it's good you have both a heater and filter, the space is really very small. Only 2 gallons. You can get great deals on second hand tanks. A 5 gallon will be so much easier to keep stable in terms of water chemistry and a tank that size easily fits on a desk. The 2 gallon will do as a temporary home, but as a permanent one I really wouldn't reccomend it at all.

Yeah I agree it is a bit on the small side. This is approx the size of my Q tank, and when I have kept bettas in there to quarantine them, it has always seemed real small. I'd try to go for double that to be honest.

I keep mine in a 11lite wilko thing with a small filter and heater and hes allways making bubble nests and such so seems happy enough though its only temporary till I can get a nice 5gal.

i have sucessfully kept a male in a 2.5 and a 3 gal before but now 5.5 is my minimum, have a female in a 5.5 currently and 2 6gals sitting empty

 

[Honeythorn]

I kept Fred in a 14 litre tank and he was just fine.. seemed really happy. So I don't see why a 10 litre isn't good enough, as long as you don't overfill with plants so he has some swimming space, and don;t go any smaller for the tank

No thanks, think i'll keep them, they'll come in handy for those impulse buys
