For the best health and lifespan of a betta, you should consider something that is at least 2.5 to 5 gallons and can have a small heater (bettas need a water temp of 78F to 80F), and a low flowing filter on it whether that be a small internal filter, or a small HOB (Hang On Back).

Why do betta fish need more room to grow?
Because, if they are in a small cage the Betta will stop growing. But, the organs will keep growing and the fish will die a long and painful death.
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!

Can betta fish survive cold water?
No. Beta fish are very sensitive.They die easily because they are extremely suceptible to diseases, and if the temperature of their water is slightly colder than it should be, or if their water is not sanitary- has too much waste (pee or poop) in it- they die. I know this from experience. The same is true with goldfish.
1 gallon tank what type of fish can you put in it?
A 1 gallon tank could have one betta fish, but you will need to be diligent about changing the water on a regular basis. The smallest tank that should be used, even for a betta, is a 2.5 gallon tank as it at least gives the fish swimming room.
Can a betta fish live in 3 quarters of a gallon fish bowl?
Yes, but this is very cruel. All fish need room to swim and to grow and although people have successfully kept bettas in tiny containers, this doesn't mean it is right. Also, bettas are anabantoids, which means they need to breath air, so they need a decent amount of surface where they can go to breathe. if you want a betta, go for at least a 2 gallon tank - the fish will be much happier, more active and more colourful.
How do Betta fish use the bath room?

Why is the male betta fish not fighting the other male betta fish?
