Which fish tank should I get? (Links in question)?
I’m looking for something relatively small-for a betta or small fish.
Which do you like best?

Thanks.!. 10 points for best answer!
omg i didnt read the gallon size. i think maybe the last one though?
my cousin has a betta and she leaves it in a small glass thing, but this thing is WAY bigger
I’m sorry, but none of them are suitable for any type of fish, including a betta. I know those gimmicky tanks may be attractive to someone new to the hobby, but for someone who understands the needs of fish, it just looks like a death trap.
The tanks in your links are too small, unstable, and cannot be heated or filtered adequately.
I would consider the minimum tank size for a betta to be about 5 gallons. They should have a gentle filter to maintain healthy water conditions, and an aquarium heater because they are tropical fish and their temperature should be maintained between 78F-82F.
If you want more than one fish, or are interested in other types of fish, then you will need to look up their specific needs. You can google just about any fish in the trade and find a profile that will educate you on tank size, diet, and water needs. Always check more than one site to make sure information is accurate.
~EDIT~
I highly recommend a 5 gallon tank. It only has about a 16″x8″ footprint and the room gives the betta more space to swim, and more room for you to aquascape.
