What Size?

[FishRfine]

I have fallen completely in love with 2 male bettas on aquabid. I can't let either go. (see for urself, they r magnificent) So, I NEED TO GET A BIG TANK FOR BOTH OF THEM! What size would be required so each betta has its own territory?

Both are very very gorgeous.. but pls do not think about putting them into the same tank no matter how big.
If you want them, get them both their own little 5gallon, or divide a 10gallon.
If you wanted to go bigger.. get them both their own 10gallon.

Just please don't put them in the same tank with eachother. Even if the tank was HUGE... would you still want to risk them finding eachother and ending up killing eachother?

I appreciate u talking some sense into me. I have a 5 gallon tank that one can have (the red and gold one, I already named him swimming bling ) and I have more time for the black and gold, So Im gonna buy a 1 gallon, and while cycling the 5, I have one of those .5 gallon "betta homes" hopefully, Swimming Bling will be ok in there for a while.

You do realize how much money these guys are going to going run you, don't you? $20 per fish if the auctions don't go higher, plus an additional $5 per fish to get them to the states from thailand, and $30+ shipping per fish if you can't manage to get the same transhipper. Thats $110 for 2 fish $80 if you can get the same transhipper...

And I don't think 12 year olds are allowed to enter into contracts, therefore not allowed to place bids on aquabid.
