WOW! They just look like my snakeheads. If they are bettas,they will usually hav a labyrinth organ which makes them easier to breath in non-aerated water.So any size tank will be ok i think,i mean they are BETTAS! But i would suggest anything bigger than 10g.Good Luck with those.And tell me a thing.Ehich one is the male and female in ur pics?

honestly i dont know dude..i've been looking for info on these, cause i'm having my importer sit on these before i get them. he promised me a pair for 80 US$..i dont wanna get i yet till i know a little more about them..cause they are rare here and not seen in the LFS quite often...thats why i cant hit and miss with these guys...
 
if it is a type of beta 10g or up . planted with a filter .
probly start by reading up in betta breeding and also ask the suppler to give you info or put you in touch with someone.
 
yeah but i wanna get some views from people who have actually owned some..the supplier gave me some sites, but i want more info first hand..i really dont wanna mess up with these..
 
Speak english.

Will you be able to see them before you recieve them? Just a thought cause the males would prolly be aggressive whereas the female not. I know how bettas behave, been there done that. Also looking at thier face structure has helped me 100% with short fined bettas. Males usually have a more rugged look to them and a meaner looking eye. Females are less angirier looking. To a certant extent.
