So I see you have a 2.5 gallon tank on your wish list - I'd definitely say to get a 5 gallon, which is what most people say the minimum is for bettas! Mine is very happy in that size - I couldn't imagine anything smaller. You can probably get a used one online somewhere! Also, if you're up for it, try thinking about live plants! They're not much more expensive than the plastic/silk ones, and they do a lot of good things for a tank. Make sure you get a water conditioner to make tap safe for

your betta, and a ph lock! If you get plants make sure the ph lock isn't phosphate-based/is safe for plants. Last but not least, when you do get the new tank, make sure it runs for a while before you put your betta in there! It'll need to properly cycle first - definitely Google nitrogen cycling for fishtanks to get the background info that you need. Good luck with your new critter! ❤️ 

Thanks for the advice! The aquarium on my wishlist comes in 5 gallons too, so that’s good :) Sadly I don’t know anything about live plants or where to get them, so I’m just gonna go with silk for my first real aquarium ^^

Thank you for telling me about the cycle and whatnot, I had no idea it was so important! What’s your opinion on a bacteria start up kit? Many reviews say the fish could be put in the new tank within 24 hours of using one.
