Betta tank for friend

7 gallon will be fine. 10 galls would be even better. Make sure your fwend will have a 50 watt heater for it!
Ok. Will do. You have a 7gal for your betta right? Thanks!
 
Thanks sprinkle

I talked to her today. The 5 gal portrait is about as big as she can go. .
 
The marineland portrait has a tiny footprint, only thing I would go is betta x snail/shrimp
 
Yes. I wouldn't but another fish in there.
 
Great! Is she excited?
Yes! She's happy that she'll be gitting a bigger tank. It wont be 'till June (ish) that she gets it though (when she's willing to upgrade. (She'll upgrade after they move)). I'm having her read up som stuff on bettas first so she know how to take care on one.
 
Good. Does she know about the nitrogen cycle? Is she going to cycle that tank at all?
No :(, I'm having her learn that though. She'll have to do a fish-in cycle because she already has the betta in a small, un-filtered, un-cycled container. I'll have to teach her how to do that.
