Tank To Small For A Female Betta?

[tatuny]

So i have a "pocket" above my main tank made for keeping food in it and other stuff.. its size`s in cm are 57 lenght 11 width 5 height...Is it to small for 1 female betta?Half of the "pocket" stay in the main tank its made out of glass so i guess it maintans the same temp as the main tank...The main tank has around 26-27 celsius...So whould it be cruel to keep her in there?its very easy to change the water there so i can change it daily..Its total volume in litres its around 3l

Maths were never my strong point so I'm not sure of the litres that would be, but why not add her to the main tank?

I whould add her to the main but im scared for my neon tetra and guppys..I puth one fish in her tank and she tried to eat him...So i'm not gonna risk it...

3L does seem a bit small,i`ve got my male betta and 5 neon tetras in a 28l ,and i feel guilty about that.

5cm in height is unsuitable.

i agree with SBS its just not high enough.

looking atmy tank of females all they do all day is up and down across the back/sides/front there nutters! they need plenty of space just like any other fish would.

Can i just ask why you are considering moving her? if she already has her own tank why not leave her there

She has her own tank but its just to small to filter heat and all that..And i think i will puth it in my main tank..Will my guppys or neons suffer?

its hard to say, i have neons with my females and a guppy with 1 of my males
