This is lovely! The only thing that could make it even better/safer for your betta is if you lowered the water level by 2-3 inches (so the glass acts as a barrier) or get a cover/lid. Bettas are notorious for accidentally jumping out of their tanks, even if the tank is a perfect paradise like yours is. He does have larger fins/tail which will prevent him from jumping as well or as high as a plakat betta, but he is definitely still capable of jumping if he chooses to do so and Iâm sure you donât want to wait for an accident to occur when it could be prevented in the first place.
Even a lid isnât always foolproof, if there are any gaps big enough a betta could jump though – but itâs definitely still safer to have a lid than not. Just like a seatbelt can save a life in a car accident but isnât guaranteed – itâs still better to use it than not.

This post was a perfect betta paradise tank just like yours, but filled too close to the top and no lid⊠https://www.reddit.com/r/bettafish/s/j0wHGOcCnQ

Is that really only 12 gallons?? Is this missing a zero??
