He looks happy! Try to get him at least a 5 gallon tank if you can afford it (I know Petco is having a sale right now where you can get a gallon a dollar [5 gallons = $5]). And if you get a bigger tank you can always get him some tank mates (like african dwarf frogs or ghost shrimp). Best of luck with your betta!
Well just bcuz you can put them in a small tank it doesnt mean they should be. they dont deserve it. 1 gallon plus is better and something with a filter
@HermitGuy101 Lol yea thats not true. All fish benefit from filters. If you had a large enough tank the current would not affect the betta. Just look at one in a 20g filtered tank, and compare it to yours.
@Fishandanimalcare What's wrong with a half gallon? The appropriate living space for betta fish is 1 quarter gallon +. As long as I change up the decor about once a month and change the water weekly, he won't get very bored. Plus, I enter the room alot, and he enjoys looking around. I've seen tanks alot smaller. This is a perfect size.
@MsPfizz My Petco is one of the cleanest I've seen. The water he came in was crystal clear. He hasn't sat at the bottom of the tank hardly at all which, I'm guessing, is a good thing. :)

@Fishandanimalcare They don't like currents which filters cause. Like I said, 1 quarter gallon + is recommended by SEVERAL trusted sources.

@HermitGuy101 They are also tropical fish, and should have a water temp around 80. You can not safely heat an unfiltered tank.
