Can I put my Bettas in a LARGE plastic food container if it is a good size and has good structure?

I would not recommend to keep a Better in a plastic container as their could be contamination and leeching issues. The actual minimum recommended tank size for a Better is 5 gallons. It's even better if you have a filter and a light to improve to water quality and your Betta's quality of life. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
