Even though Betta's are seen housed in small tanks you should house your Betta in a minimum 2 gallon tank or a 5 gallon tank, while 10 gallon tanks are preferred. They do not like water movement so you do not have to have a filter, if you do it should have barely any movement, bettas are not built to swim against a current. Never house a betta in one of those set ups where there is a plant in the vase as they can not survive on that as food. Always keep your male Betta out of a tank that already has a male Betta as they will fight with another betta (to the death if unchecked) the male will chase the females if under age and try to fight them. However if a female Betta is fully grown, the male will chase her to mate. Make sure you have a few items in the tank, a fake plant or decoration where they can hide and have some privacy.
Females can be grouped in groups of 4-8 depending on how many gallons of water you have to spare. Males can only shave a tank if they have a barrier of some sort or separators, which can be bought rather cheap and most any pet store.
