Can a betta survive in a one gallon tank?
It's currently in a turd cube (on of those one quart, cubes with the decorative backround.) I plan to cycle (do you cycle in FW tanks? I believe so.) It will have a filter and light, maybe Ill buy a moss ball. Would that help?
I'm guessing that you have the saltwater one don't you? From what I've collected they are the same test but with different cards. I use my freshwater one on my salt tank. I just look up the card online... This is the site I use: Downloads; Pump and filter Instructions, Test Kit chartsAlso, do API test kits work for freshwater? Is there a difference between those kits?

What?! You can get a five and a half gallon for that price at Petco? Crap. I already ordered the one gallon.
I've filtered a one gallon before with lots of room to spare. It's the Walmart Aqua Culture 1 Gallon Starter Kit. I added Tetra Whisper 1-3i.No, a 1 gallon tank is cruel for a Betta. In a 1 gallon they will hardly move at all, in a 5+ gallon they will actively swim around and are interesting to watch.
You really can't heat or filter a 1 gallon either, its a bit too small for that.
A betta can survive in it yes, just as you can survive in a prison cell as long as you're given food.
Saltwater kits don't really work well for freshwater, you need a different color chart for some, but others(I believe nitrite) work with the same color chart.
