They have an easy thing where i can win one and it comes with the bowl but i would use my own thing i have. ---- I would use a 1 gallon triangle tank, put a small sponge filter with low current. - Is that ok

Just make sure you do weekly or biweekly water changes as bettas love fresh water. Also, when you put in plants, make sure they pass the panty hose test. It's good you are rescuing those little guys. Bettas are great fish...enjoy yours. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

feltr04 Hobbyist Posts: 125 Kudos: 35 Votes: 18 Registered: 08-Aug-2003	That is a decent way of getting an awesome pet like a betta. 14! that is quite a collection you have! I am also wondering what the panty hose test is... i'm guessing it is if the filter sucks the panty hose up then its too strong?
