Am new to bettas and was wondering how big of a tank is needed for 1
betta??

I would like to get 2 and was wondering if I could have 2 in one tank
and if so how big a tank??

I have kept Bettas in 7 Litre tanks (2 Gal) for the last 4 years.
No filter or heater (mild climate in Qld Australia)
Water needs to be treated and 70% - 80% changed weekly, to help keep them
healthy.
Each male needs to be in its own tank, although 2-3 females may be OK
together once they sort out who is in charge :-)
Some plastic plants in the tank help them rest near the surface as well.
