Betta #10

[Kfamr]

Actually, with very frequent water changes, a nicely planted/decorated tank with mental stimulation (in the form of another betta, a mirror, or you), and good food, a 2 gallon is fine for a Betta!

What Erica said. Bettas aren't your average fish and 2 gallons certainly isn't "crappy" as you described. A "crappy" life for a Betta is in a vase like the general public houses them.

My daughter had 2 male rats as class pets in 5th grade. They were ben and jerry. Jerry passed away and the teacher was pregnant so guess who ended up with the class rat

I didn't mind we use to have 2 females at the same time but now I will never have another rat their lifespan is just too short for me.
