How many Bettas in 3 Gallons?

One betta only in a 3g.
My advice would be to keep your 3g as an isolation tank if you have a sick fish that you have to separate, or to quarantine a new fish. It is really too small to be a permanent home for any fish. Bettas do love space, and when they have it they are not an aggressive fish. I have had three female bettas quarantined in an 8g. They went fine for 3 weeks, then one of the females decided that tank was her territory. I cut the quarantine time short and put all three in the 50g community tank, no more aggression.
I currently have a betta in a 12g with 10 cardinals. They get along great.

Did you mean to say fill it up with water and decide how many bettas will fit?
sarcastic remark,..lolDid you mean to say fill it up with water and decide how many bettas will fit?
I have one betta in a filtered, heated, 2.5gal. He's fine in there, but I wouldn't ever think about putting more than one in it. Nor any neighbors for that matter.
