Kinda. Although it is not recommended. The smallest thing that I have ever used for a Betta is a 1/4 gallon bowl. If it is a male, I would highly recommend something bigger than and 1/5 gallon bowl. If it is a female, it would be OK although it would be much better for it to be in something bigger. Hope I helped!

Can you have a female betta and two goldfish in a 14 gallon tank?
No. A betta requires water between 80 and 86 degrees, while goldfish require water between 72 and 78. Also, there is not enough room for these fish in that tank. 2 goldfish should have a 20 gallon tank minimum to themselves.

Can you put 2 female betta fish in a 1 gallon fish tank together without a divider?
No. The tank is not large enough to house two female bettas. The basic fish keeping rule is "1 inch of fish needs 1 Gallon of water". A female Betta grows to around 1.5 inches so you would need at least a 3 gallon tank to house the 2 Bettas properly.

Will a betta fish live with a gorami fish?
The simple answer is yes provided you have a large enough tank. A Betta needs at least 2 gallons (3 gallons is better) and depending on the species of gourami you could need a 30 gallon tank for some species. The basic rule is :1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, a permanantly running filter, and at least 50% water changed every week.

How often do you clean your half gallon fish tank?
I personally would empty it, then scrub it clean and use it occasionally as a flower vase. It is not large enough to keep any kind of fish in properly. The basic rules for keeping fish successfully are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Betta is a 3 inch fish). Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. The above is not completely true. A Betta in a half gallon tank should have half of its water replaced each week. You should use a conditioner with that water (mine came with Nutrafin Betta Bowl Water Conditioner). I also make 20% of it HBH Betta H2O, which can be bought in bottles.

How do you keep the water at temperature for a betta?
If you betta is in a small tank, placing it in a location that has a warm ambient room temperature should be enough to keep it to betta preferred warmth. If you do not, then you should look at getting a small heater for your tank, but you may need to get a larger tank to allow for the use of a heater as there are no heater models made for anything smaller than a 2.5 to 5 gallon tank.
