one gallon is the bare minimum. i belive it's three or four (at least) that's preferred.

2g is fine thats what my split tank is. (you will have people argue that its too small)

My 3 males are in 1g tanks, no one argues with me ever.

I havn't got anything as small as a 1g but surely it's the water quality that is the most important thing. If you can keep a 2g with optimum water changes and parameters, it must be better than having a 4g and thinking because of it's size it never needs a water change. At the end of the day,no matter how much room the fish has got, it will still be swimming in the same water. [Just my opinion]

I think care is more important than size

2g is a-okay. 1 gallon is the minimum in my opinion. I have my betta in a 1 gallon and he seems a bit bored. 2g gives them room to swim around more.

I agree, as long as the water quality is kept pristine, and the fish is happy then tank size isn't all that essential, though I do agree that 1 gallon is the minimum.

keeping the water perfect is no problem i do water changes very often on my other tank so it will be no problem.
Thanks For All Your Help

ive got a 18inch tank (12.5g) and split it into 3 so thats just over 4g each.I was thinking of making it 4 but they will have 4.5inch lenght yet tey have 1ft back si it might not be all that bad.I think its just how much you wnt to be able to see your bettas realy.

I think 1 gallon(minimum)+care is better then anything

Cheers For All Help.
