Can I keep my betta in a bowl???
Ha got ya, who ever clicked on that question and wanted to answer yes, YOU ARE WRONG

Bettas are NOT happy and healthy in a bowl or in a 1 gallon tank

It's your responsibility to your fish to get at LEAST a 2.5 gallon tank with heater and filter for your betta

There is no truth behind that, that a betta is happy in little bowl?!?!?!

Would you like to be confined to a space of 2X2???
Don't think so

Betta's can live up to 7 years with proper care

So what would you reather have, a happy and healthy betta or one that has a short expected life because of your iresponsibility?????

Here is also some more info about them

Here is also a pic where they live in natural habitat

Please to all the store keepers, we know that you have no other way then to keep them in bowls or small cups!
Yeah, I forgot to add that luvin life
go ahead ekkelly 66, sounds like a very nice setup, you could actually keep 2 schools with your betta in a 10 gallon

all the sarcastic people come out at night ==

bettas also need insects like small crickets or something

EB thanks for reminding people about this. Just wanted to also put that the water temperature should be between 76-82 F in the tank.

I have been reading a lot about bettas and was thinking about putting it in a 10 gallon taank with some tetras or danios
I would have a betta 5 tetras or danios and 2 corycats
and most things say they can be kept in bowls but it doesnt make the bettas feel happy

im sorry, but this was a complete waste of a question
