Betta in a 10 gallon tank?

[serissime]

Once he builds up some muscle tone, he'll be fine. My bettas are all quite strong swimmers. You might feel sorry for him at first because he's only bowl-fit, but he'll get in shape pretty quickly.

Betta's like the current, its resistance and it helps them stay strong swimmers.

I had a whisper I30 at first then went to a marineland penguin 150 , he would mess around in the current then go away from it when he wanted to just float around and do betta things.

If the current is too strong; plant!

I agree. That's what my experience was with a betta in a 10gal.

I have my female betta in my 55g (well... the woman's lol)... it has 2 large HoBs on it-- a bit more flow than a betta likes.. but she seems to do fine-- she just hides in the plants a lot

You may be pleasantly suprised at how much more personality your betta has when he has all that room to roam!
