The nice thing about upgrading him to a 10gal is he can have some tank mates.

My male betta is super happy in his 10gal along with 4 zebra danios and some ghost shrimp.

Chances are he'll do fine with them. Mine lived with 5 blood-fin tetras for a few weeks, no problem. I moved the blood-fins to my 29gal and got the 4 zebras to keep him company. Bettas are a lot of fun when you give them some room. A lot of personality.

Sounds like a plan. Maybe keep his 2.5gal going for a few days in the event he doesn't get along with his new tank mates. I bet he'll love it.

Just remember all because bettas are fighting fish doesnt mean they wont get bullied. Every so often look at his fins to see if they are getting nipped at. But besides that he should do better in the 10gal. I have one in a 2.5 gal and he has an amazing personality
