Is there any way for me to put something like a breeding net into a tank to hold bettas. My mom says I can only have my new 30 gallon if I drop my 2 betta tanks (2.5 each). Since I don't feel like getting rid of my beloved bettas, would there be a way to hold them in the main tank? Are they're any products that I can use? Or, can I build one myself?

Tons.

The ordinary betta barracks are a bit small IMO, but the thick perspex ones designed for marine fish are plenty big

You can also use tupperware or juicebottle, just attach a suction cup to them and stick them to the front panel

how many fish are there and how much space can you spare for them?

I've made them before using plastic canvas. With this you can make them any size you want Sew them together with fishing line.

I found the betta barracks! They're about a gallon each with space for 6 bettas, but I can remove them to hold 2. Is 1/2 too small? I thought that was the minimum, especially if it's linked to a well-filtered tank.
