[guppy girl]

i have put my betta in a 1 gallon i used to use before i got a 10 gallon to put my goldfish in temparly but will the little guy be okay in there?

I'm sorry, but absolutely NO fish should be kept in a 1 gallon.

The ABSOLUTE MINIMUM for a betta is 2.5 gallons, though they do much better in 5 gallons. They also NEED both a heater and a filter! All fish need filters, and the betta needs a heater because they are a tropical fish, and tropical fish need warm water to live happily and healthily!

I would rethink owning your betta, unless you can provide him with a sufficient home.

Yes. He'll be fine. Just don't put 2 in there. They'll kill each other.

5 gallons is the minimum for a betta. That means you can't put him in anything smaller than a 5 gallon tank.
