    Agree with Skip - your setup is probably better for a single betta. I keep mine the same as Skip changing 100% every 2-3 days right now.

    Skip I use to keep my Betta's in those jars also but after a while the plastic would get cloudy so I switched over to glass jars. I get them at Sprouts Farmers Market here in Phoenix for $5.00 each.

    I take photos of mine in a square glass container but keep them in glass jars because I like how easy it is to clean. I spawn them in 10 gallon tanks half full then as the fry grow I add water until they are ready for a larger tank. Maybe go to a glass shop and see if it is reasonable have some glass cut and make your own square tanks.
