10 gallon for a single fish my ass. A betta requires access to the surface, water temperatures at 80 degrees F, fish food for carnivorous type fish, and if you don't have filtration a water change once every week. Vases and those tiny tanks suck for bettas. Vases because the neck doesn't allow for proper access to the surface nor does it allow for adequate oxygen/carbon exchange. Both vases and tiny tanks have several things in common. One, they don't keep a constant temperature nor can they have heaters to keep it constant. In Science glass we learned that the less mass the quicker things cool/heat up..unhappy lethargic betta. I've read that pumps/filters can cause disturbances on the water surface and bettas can drowned. I have 4 males in a 10 gallon, split up, each with 2 live and several plastic plants, a snail, etc. They enjoy their space, come to the front to eat or beg, go to the back among their plants to weave through them or rest. My female is in a 2 gallon, with everything the males have. She plays with the bubbles, weaves through the plants, healthy as hell. Ah, and I currently have 4 walmart fish. 1yr,two 2yrs, and one 5 months old.
