I just bought a 1.5 gallon for my fishy. I love him so much and am worried about him i spent the rest of the money i have left for food till friday on this tank. it comes with a filter, light and plants. i got him rocks and bettafix [ because he currently is sick :)] so i hope he is happy and i shall post a picture when its all set up.

as I said to Photochic88 yesterday- I cannot stress the importance of adopting a healthy fish! get a nice set up and put it together properly- but make sure you don't buy a sick fish or it will all be in vain and you'll feel awful when he dies. Bettas get sick easily in those tiny cups they put them in!

Yea i agree strongly on getting at least a one gallon. I had my betta in a one gallon and he lived for 5 yrs, and thats not including how old he already was when i got him. I just bought a new one too and im going to set him up in my 1 gallon as soon as i transfer my snails that im breeding for my pufferfish over to another one. My betta is in a small bowl for now and i do feel bad because i know better but hes quite young and he will be fine for a little while yet.

One gallons are fine as long as good water quality is maintained.
