Is this kind of tank any good for a betta ?

Wow,the UK bettas live large!

Were you being sarky? I'll presume you weren't in which case it might interest you to know that bettas here (in my area, at least) are usually kept in way more than two gallons - they are usually in at least 10g and when I took my friend to buy hers there were a few in 15-20g tanks. (by looks anyway)

You presume correctly. Here in the US the bettas are kept in a speciman cup like you would see at a doctor's office.

He seemed happy enough and very active in the 2ish gallon tank they keep bettas in.

I agree, they do seem to be living large over there.

Anyway, 2 of my bettas live in 1gallons and they have no illness, disease or depression. The tanks have heaters, but I don't use them, the temperature usually stays room temperature or a degree below.

oh no

is there any reason for that? it seems like it would be a lot more maintenance to have to change their water all the time
