Easy to maintain, attractive, and definitely big enough for a single Betta with a Nerite snail, which I added in to help keep algae under control.
You'd need to buy some floor covering, like the little aquarium rocks, any decorations you might want, and food, etc.. but that's not terribly expensive. I bought my tank on sale for $20, and even with all the extras, it was only about $38 out the door.

My tank setup, complete with my Betta, "Rocky":
It's blind. If I make it too fancy, it won't find the food. It has to be small. What should I do
They'll find it, they can sense it, they have chemical sensors all over their body. They can also hear pretty well.
Yep, plus 3.5 gallons is hardly "Big".. It just provides enough room for it to move around, room for some plants/decoration, and enough water to provide for sufficient oxygenation/flow, etc.. Smaller is just cruel
