Is this OK for a betta?

Ideally you want a 2.5 or more gallon tank, but they will do fine in a tank like that.

Sometimes water disturbance can stress them out, so a filter can do more harm than good. BUT some do good with one, some don't.

I also saw these but they also have a filter. But I'm sure they will have a wider selection than what they have featured on the website. I also wanted to add that I have $40 to spend so anything around $35 or under is what I can afford.

Well actually they usually have a bigger selection online than they do in-store. At least that's how it was when I worked at PetCo

I actually really like that tank minus the filter, I almost bought it. It's really cute and I think it comes in 2.5 gallon sizes.

I'd go with the minibow, it's a great aquarium. Just because it comes with a filter doesn't mean that you have to use it. Just don't put the filter in when your setting it up and it will be an excellent tank for a betta.

Thats the tank I have for my Betta and he seems to really enjoy it. That filter did bother him and I took it out (you can see my recently posted thread about it).

The tank is roomy for a Betta and Moon seems to really enjoy it.

Yep, for $7 more I'd go for the 2.5 Minibow! I have 3 and all of the Bettas in them love em muchly. ^^

For the Whisper filters, you can fashion a "current killer" to it by simply cutting off the flat middle portion of a plastic soda bottle. Just fix the plastic around the lip of the filter, where the water pours out, and it'll almost completely kill the current.
