Is this an ok tank for a betta? Inside and all...

[buttercup132]

I'm not sure but it does look cool!

[Flatcoatluver]

does it say how many gallons it is??

[animal_rescue]

no it doesn't

[Jessika]

It looks to be at least 2.5 gallons, though I could be wrong

[Kfamr]

No matter how many gallons I would say NO!

Too much stuff for them to hurt their delicate little fins on.

[binka_nugget]

The tank itself looks like an okay size but I'd remove everything inside.. especially the plastic plant.

[Uabassoon]

You can't judge the size of a tank by a picture. I've seen that tank before, it is TINY. I would not get that for a betta. I'd say it's less than a half gallon.

[IRescue452]

It looks to be like 5 inches by 8 inches, in comparison to my 2.5 I'd call it a 1.5 gallon. Perfect for a female as is. If the desk were empty of all the little pieces and you snapped on a branch from a silk plant where the plastic one is then I'd say go for it for a male. Nothing like an odd design to bring a tank to focus. Maybe you could find a little plastic desk miniature that would be more suitable.

It's cute, but probably not...
More of something like this would be great

These 2 would work..(I have my boys in the first ones, and Ariel in the 2nd one)
Neppie and Sebbie's tank (http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444180 9698&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302037042&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023693&bmUID=1145974701921&itemNo=13&Nao=12&In=Fish&N=2037042&Ne=2)

Oh, and in the Neptune and Sebastian's tank, remove the divider!
These are examples of BAD tanks.

These alot of people use, but really bettas need 1 gallon at least.

This doesnt work because it doesnt have a lid. YOU MUST HAVE A LID! :p Bettas are jumpers.

If I'm wrong on any of this correct me...Hehe.

I absolutely hate tanks smaller than ten gallons advertised for goldfish. Its cruelty being advertised and it should be banned. People would get mad if you advertised an emaciated dog with a picture of a kennel, but its ok to do so with a fish.

I just found that out recently and it made me feel horrible for keeping my goldfish in one gallons. For a betta though I believe the tank would be ok..?

[zoomer]

I would say no, I think the betta would not be confortable in such a smooshed and full tank. A tank with just a plant in the middle would be best.

[animal_rescue]

That's what I thought, that tank is for my friend's office betta. It's not her's it belongs to the whole work place.

[dogzr#1]

I agree with pretty much everything else people said. Just remove the little trinkets on the table and replace the plastic plant with a live one. I have the goldfish starter kit for my betta and he absolutely loves it!
