I heard those were way too small for a betta.

I just read about it now. They say anything over 1 gallon is better for a Betta. That little aquarium is only 1/2 gallon?! :D

Yeah..! I was thinking more along the lines of something like Uabassoon's tank for her betta. :)

1/2 Gallon is too small for a betta to be happy in.

I got my old betta a tank from Petsmart for about $12. I can't find it on their website, but I'll look harder later. You could also use a Keep-a-Critter (or whatever those things are called). It is basically a plastic carrying case that people use for small animals and the lid has vents in it. I know many people use it for bettas since they don't require a filter. They are pretty cheap, about $5 I think.

I would probably suggest getting it at petsmart or wherever is cheaper. It will cost alot to ship the tank I have... (i forgot about the sipping price) so it's cheaper just to buy one at a store.

Yep, they work well and are 1 gallon. I have 2 of mine in them and they are perfectally happy!
I got mine at Wal-Mart, put some rocks in the bottom and a couple of silk plants and maybe spent $10 for each of them.

I seen the betta you want and it is gorgeous. I guess it all depends on what you want to spend money on the most, stuff for the tanks or the betta:)

The betta! :o But I know that that little guy will get a great home. So I'm going to rescue a Betta from Petsmart, so it won't have to live in a cup the rest of its life :).

Petsmart has 2 gallon plastic "drum" bowls things for $3 that I saw and thought, "I could keep a betta in there!"

also I like the round SmallWorld Round Tanks things from Penn Plax (medium or large, not the one it says bettas should go in, that's like 1/2 gallon). I think Petsamrt does not carry them but Petco does. Or you could call local places and ask them if they carry them. They are round and that is so cool, I just thought the betta would be really happy in a round tank.
