I had a betta in a bowl like that, and when I moved him to my 5 gal he was so much more active and his colors really popped. Try keeping an eye on Craigslist. You may be able to find a nice 5-10 gal setup for a really good price. Best of luck! Betta's are beautiful. Oh yeah- they will jump out of the tank so make sure you have a top on your aquarium.
