I’ve had Blue for about a month or so now, but his tank is only about 2.5 gallons I believe. I know 5 gallons is the smallest size everyone recommends and I want to upgrade his tank to try and give him the best life I can.
My biggest problem is space… I don’t have a whole lot of it. I live in a small apartment and I can’t have anything much more than a tank that’s about 12×12 inches at the base. Height isn’t an issue. My current tanks filter also pushes out a pretty strong current, which I have slowed down by cutting up a kind of filter I’ve found and using that to cover up the outflow, although it tends to get pretty dirty pretty quick and I’m not sure if it’s really the best way to do things.
So now at this point that I know I can actually keep something besides myself alive, I’d like to upgrade Blues tank so that he can have a better life than the one that I’m giving him now (I’m trying my best to make it good, I promise).
My job also has me away for anywhere from 3-5 days at a time. I do have an auto feeder for him that works pretty good, so an opening for that would be ideal as well.
Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a tank that can fit more or less within the size restrictions I have. Bonus for real plant/potentially any tank buddies that can go in with him as well.
Thanks!

Imagitarium Glass Betta Aquarium.
5 gallon cube aquarium comes with a clip on glass lid, a clip on LED light with day/night, HOB filter with adjustable flow rate, and an adjustable inlet with sponge.
You could replace the glass with acrylic for something you could customize to support the auto feeder, and you’ll need a heat source (most likely,
the one you have for your 2.5 gallon will still work).
