Hey, I have a 2 gall beta tank and I'm hoping to bring it to my cubicle at work. What are the problems I might face? Can I put a beta/goldfish in there or will the lack of natural lighting (it's all flurescent) be a problem? I know a beta can survive with regular cleanings and no filter, but can a goldfish?

Thanks.

A Betta would be fine. A 2 gallon tank is way too small for a goldfish. In a bigger tank you can keep a goldfish and goldfish need filters. Betta don't need any special or bright lighting as far as I know. I hope this helps. :y_the_best:

goldfish do get too big and they are messy, so they would need a good filter....a betta would be perfect for the tank
