i have a divided 30g breeder (same foot print as a 55g but shorter) with 9 bettas in (about 3-4 gallons each).

2x 5g tanks each with 1 betta in.
4x 10g tanks 2 of the tanks are divided in half. 1 is very heavily planted and has a pair of wild bettas in. And other 10g tank that is not divided and often holds a single betta (depending on who is living where at the time!)

I have a single 10g tank which is home to my male delta-tail betta, Aadyn James. I keep the water at 80 degrees and feed him Atison's BettaPro pellets. He absolutely loves them. Every once in a while i throw in some frozen bloodworms.

wow, alot of people here have multiple bettas, the most i've had is 3 at a time when i was about 8 or 9. i used to keep them in tiny jars and betta vases with filtration and without any heating. i regret it, but now ones i keep have at least 15 gallons to them self.
