Fish tanks around the size of 1 gallon and up. I know what some people tell you. ( beta fish do beater in bowls, because they live in puddles, and they live longer and happier.) One, beta fish are breed in lakes and ponds. Second, how would you like living in your nasty closet forever? I have a beta who lives excellently in a ten gallon tank, which lived for three years till he died of old age, NOT IN BAD CONDITIONS. And third, whoever told you the opposite, is a corrupted business man, who knows nothing but how to make money of suckers quick. Just get a one gallon tank, and your fish will live longer, and less bored. You will also clean it allot less.

Can you put a lizard with a male betta fish?

NO!!! Lizards should only be kept with other lizards of their own species. Some kinds of lizards are fine by themselves. Waste from the lizard is poisonous to fish. Also, Lizards do not need a lot of water, where would the fish go? Lizards don't swim. The lizard would eat the fish. Male betta fish are best housed by themselves, or in a 10 gallon or bigger tank with neon tetras, or other gentle community fish. Also, never house a male betta with another male betta, or a female betta. They will fight until their death. Females can be kept together. Three do fine in a ten gallon tank. NEVER put bettas with fish that have long flowing or colorful fins, the betta will mistake it for another betta and kill it.

What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?

It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.
