5gallons isn't really abuse, it's mainly just elitists that say that. 5gallons is perfectly fine, while I'm sure a 10 gallon would be better, 5 is ok. It's why also why I said the bare minimum, and it is in no way "abuse".

Also, sororities almost never work with bettas. It is HIGHLY recommended to keep them alone, and I have heard nothing but horror stories about females getting along for a while and then killing each other out of the blue. If anything, keeping two very territorial and solitary creatures together is abuse in a home setting.

2 meters is 6 feet.

Its way bigger than what a betta would need. 5g I would argue is still too small. 10 or 20 is what I prefer. My two bettas are in 20 gallons. 6 feet is like a 100 gallons easily and is overkill. Bettas are obligate air breathers also so they dont necessarily like really tall tanks. A 20g long might be better than a tall 30g because of less height and more surface area.

The myth that they can survive in 5, 2,1 gallons, or crayon boxes or mason jars, or wine glasses is that they exist in puddles in canals, floodplains, and rice paddies. But that is still abuse in a home setting.
