USA should have rules. Like a tank, to be actually called a tank, has to be 2 1/2 gallons! To keep a betta, 5 gallons.

I've seen bettas do great in 2.5 gallon tanks. I think that's usually considered (by fish specialists) the minimum.

I've owned bettas that would stress out, stop eating, and shred their fins in anything bigger than a vase, most of my bettas preferred their 2-5 gallon homes, but he refused to live outside his vase. he outlived all of my other bettas, and died at the age of five, whereas most of the fish in the 2-5 gallons never lived over a year.

Just posting a quick update on my baby golden rabbit snail~
He has grown by 1 centimetre since the 25th of September.
Plus he'll look so cool as an adult with his banded shell. ;v;

A friend of mine had a betta like that. He was happy and content in his one gallon tank, swimming actively and building bubble nests, but when she tried to upgrade him to a five gallon he started tail biting and acting sluggish. I think it all depends on the specific betta c:

How many fish tanks do you have: Two:
One 3 gallon that's currently being occupied by my female betta and an unused 10 gal that she and some community fish will be put into after we move.
Types of fish that you have:
Just one right now, a female betta.
Your fishs' names:
Niña
How long have you had fish:
I've had fish since around the age of three or four.

Also if you have pictures of you fish we would love to put a link to them next to your name! If you have a tank with a lot of fish you are welcome to just put a picture of your tank. Please do not post the pictures on the actual forum since they do take up space; just the link will do (one or two small photos is okay)

Just returned from Walmart, couldn't help myself but I caved into buying this goldfish whose fins were eaten up, he doesn't have any. It's bad to buy from there but I just couldn't help myself ;n; the poor guy.

Awww Snails are awesome - I don't have rabbit snails, but I do have a huge apple snail who gets into all kinds of mischief.

Update on my "plague survivor" barbs:
My favorite female with the half band went from an open wound on her side, ich, and the eye fungus all the others died from, to looking really good and growing her fins back. She is the only female survivor, the other three were all males and I had to buy 6 females to keep the peace. She is also the only one that survived the eye fungus or whatever it was, I couldn't identify it so I lost a lot of them to that.
I might try to get a pic of her so I can show y'all the before/after photos, since I have a pic of her when she was starting to recover from being sick.

I'm upgrading Mochi, the baby betta, to a ten gallon! No more tiny one gallon c; Yay~ She didn't seem unhappy in the one gallon tank but I'm sure she'd love some more space plus I'd like to try getting her some tankmates. The ten gallon I got second-hand but it's in pretty good condition. I'm still planning on getting that other ten gallon tank from Petco that I want to divide, so I'm also excited for that c:
