Well, we recommend a minimum of 3 UK gallons, so this tank being 17Ltrs is only 3.7 UK gallons so we wouldn't recommend dividing.

HE has now said that he will divide them until we get a blue tank for Mack and then Mack can have one of them in a tank for him 
So they should only be sharing for 2 weeks max

I dont think that tank is big enough for 2 bettas, let alone three.

it's big enough for a breeding tank for the rutilans they wont breed in a large tank
the breeder i got them off breeds them in 10 litre tanks
Betta rutilans are the ones in my avatar they've about the size of an adult neon

I keep a couple of bettas in separate 2 gal (US) tanks with filters, plants, and regular water changes and they do great. Honestly, two in a 4.5 gal tank would probably be ok for awhile as long as the water was changed properly. The only issue would be that there wouldn't be enough horizontal space in that particular tank for them to comfortably patrol their fishie territories, so it wouldn't be ideal for long term housing.

I understand. Just commenting on the fact that I don't believe that all tanks under 3 gallons should necessarily be dismissed as improper housing for splendens.
