Bettas have evolved to be able to survive in small amounts of water but they do not necessarilly do well under those conditions. They are basically the same as all fish and need the same basic conditions. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Betta is a 3 inch fish) Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Bettas are tropical and also need to be kept at around 78F.

Do Betta fish need a large tank?
Betta fish can be comfortable in tanks large or small. Large tanks can provide space for your betta, while small tanks keep your betta from being stressed. Whichever kind of tank works for you best is just fine!

Betta fish in a regular old fish bowl you put a plant in the bowl your question is what type of plant is this and is it a plant that is safe for your Betta I have a pic but the link won't post?
Betta fish need filtered and oxygenated tanks just like other freshwater fish. Pet stores that tell you that Betta fish don't need much room or filtered tanks are either ill-informed or just plain unethical. Too much current flow isn't healthy since Bettas like slow moving water. If you are putting a plant inside a tank with your Betta (and not keeping the Betta in a vase with a plant growing out of the top and the roots growing into the Betta's space), any freshwater fish-friendly plant is good. Just make sure that it is soft so it doesn't damage the Betta's delicate and beautiful fins. Don't put a Betta in a vase with or without a plant growing above it. Also, don't keep them in tight containers or small cups. This practice is cruel and inhumane!

There are over 20 members of the Betta family that I know of. They are all small fish and all have the same labyrinthine breathing system. None of them have the magnificent finnage of the common Betta splendens though. Other relations of the Betta are all of the other Anabantids including the Gouramies.
What plant do the betta fish live in?
Betta fish live in rice paddies. The misconception that the Betta live in a small amount of water it's whole life has spread wide. A Betta actually only lives in small pools of water during the dry season when it is forced to by receding water levels. Also like many other fish a Betta in captivity would enjoy the protection of almost any aquatic plant.
