Can I put my Betta in a bowl?

Question

Ha got ya, who ever clicked on that question and wanted to answer yes, YOU ARE WRONG

Bettas are NOT happy and healthy in a bowl or in a 1 gallon tank

It's your responsibility to your fish to get at LEAST a 2.5 gallon tank with heater and filter for your betta

There is no truth behind that, that a betta is happy in little bowl?!?!?!

Would you like to be confined to a space of 2X2???
Don't think so

Remember one thing, you're going to cut down your betta's life to about 2 years if you're lucky

But if taken proper care it can live up to 7 years!!!!!

So what would you reather have, a happy and healthy betta or one that has a short expected life because of your iresponsibility?????

Please to all the store keepers, we know that you have no other way then to keep them in bowls or small cups!!

Answer 1

I agree but instead of a 2.5 gallon best to put them in a 10gallon instead because these used to live in rice patties which has around 50 or more gallons of water and the betta only gets around 3-4inches.

They need alot of space to swim around to help them stay active and to have a long healthy life.

Answer 2

I love Betta's I got mine in a 55 gallon aquarium with a Fluval 405 canister filter with some Molly fish. he loves in it there. I got this castle he loves going in there and exploring. When I got him home he was so active I thought he was going to have a bettatack... If your're going to put your betta in a fish bowl you should not buy one.!

Answer 3
