omg i want to kill whoever keeps their betta in that little tiny cup they come in. i know they can survive in them, but i can survive in a small room with now pictures on the wall or anything but i don't want to. besides wouldn't they get all like weak from not swimming? anywho i think my little tank is perfect for him its a little 1 gallon tank and he likes it muchly. i have my black moor in a 1.5 gallon tank in my room...but he won't be for too long my friend is going to fine me his old 10 gallon tank and then i can't get anuther one and sum tetras.

definitely larger than that stupid cup....anywhere from 1/2 gallon on up (depending on what your boy's comfortable with...some freak out in real large community tanks)

I agree, some do freak out in bigger tanks. All of mine are in 1 or 2 gallon tanks (and of course the old man in the 10) but I do have one oddball who FLIPPED out when I put him in his shiny new 1 gallon tank, I thought he was having a heart attack so I removed him and put him back in his jelly bean jar ,yes a jelly bean jar, it's a little over 1/2 a gallon and hex shaped, he likes it, except for where the label is on one of the 6 sides of the jar ....the label faces my sink and every time I go to the sink I look over at him and he's ALWAYS peeking at me from above the label, it cracks me up everytime , I don't know why... it's just hilarious )

so then with an extra 1 gallon what could I do but buy another betta!!

my betta has been through them all and loved them, hes been in a cup in a 1/2 gallon in a gallon, in a 4 gallon bowl and has been in a 10 gallon by himself and he has loved every single one xpt the cup in the store

Not trying to scare you, but goldfish actually need 10 gallons per fish. (Black moors are goldfish.) I know it seems crazy, but your little moor will grow to 6-8 inches and live 10+ years if properly cared for. Most people don't know much about the needs of goldfish when they purchase them, that's why people think that if they live 2 years, they had a full and happy life! Goldfish may well be the most misunderstood pets on the face of the earth. Besides the size of the fish being an issue for the 10 gal. rule, they are very messy, not unlike little aquatic pigs. Keeping two full grown goldies in one 10 gal. tank will cause very poor water quality, even when filtered to the max. When you go to the store, you will see a tank crammed with goldies....this is NOT the way a goldfish can survive happily for any length of time. You probably think I am going overboard with this information, but it is all true. I have two goldies in their own 10 gal. tanks (one is a black moor). I have done a LOT of research and the 10 gal. rule is really the first rule of keeping a goldfish.... Good luck to you!

Not to mention that other myth: that they only grow to the size of the tank. As I've often pointed out, this is true only insofar as they don't live long enough to get to full adult size!
