    It'd be better to just get one betta and let him have the minibow to himself, he'd be a lot happier that way.

    I agree, its better to have just one betta in a 2.5.

    Lots of people use a divider and keep two bettas in that minibow. As long as you do regular water changes it should be fine. They each get a little more than a gallon to themselves which is a good amount of room for a betta.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I agree that 1 gal should be enough but with bettas you need a good deal of serfice area and deviding it would not allow very much, unless the divider lets water through. I also agree though that just one in that tank is better. Less chance of disease spreading too.
