Is this an ok tank for a betta? Inside and all...
I'm not sure but it does look cool!
does it say how many gallons it is??
no it doesn't
It looks to be at least 2.5 gallons, though I could be wrong
No matter how many gallons I would say NO!
Too much stuff for them to hurt their delicate little fins on.
The tank itself looks like an okay size but I'd remove everything inside.. especially the plastic plant.
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.
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
Good Tank
These 2 would work..(I have my boys in the first ones, and Ariel in the 2nd one)
Neppie and Sebbie's tank
Ariel's Tank (I have Ariel's tank in the small size. SHE LOVES IT!)
Oh, and in the Neptune and Sebastian's tank, remove the divider!
These are examples of BAD tanks.
Tiny Tank I've seen these in person, and the betta looked miserable.
These alot of people use, but really bettas need 1 gallon at least.
Tank 2
This doesnt work because it doesnt have a lid. YOU MUST HAVE A LID! :p Bettas are jumpers.
Betta kit
Here's 2 more good ones

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..?Quote:

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.
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!
