so I went to petco to look around tonight. I'm pretty excited about being a new daddy of my betta fish. I want to get more, once I get the hang of this one.

Anyways. So they have two tanks I'm interested in, and I didn't buy them because I thought they might be too big. One is a 5 1/2 gallon, and one is a 10 gallon. The 5 1/2 is probably 8-10 inches tall, and the 10 is 12 inches tall. I'm pretty sure 10 gallons is too much. Any one know where I can get a 2.5 gallon that's NOT a kit? I like the 5 1/2 gallon but it's a big tank for only one fish.

I also heard the Betta's do well with tetras...is this true?

So what do you guys think about this tank cituation? I really want something bigger than a 1/2 gallon so I can have some live plants, and some nice rocks and such.
