I don't think that fish need plants and gravel. I still give mine some though. Anyways, those tanks are overally stuffed with decorative materials, is all I meant. If the gravel was much thinner, and just a few plants, it would give a ton more space to the fish.


That one is probably less than a 1/4 of a gallon but I couldn't say for sure as I've never seen one in person.
 
Nope not even fry. Nothing can live in there happily. There isn't filtration or heat, which fry need, and there isn't space for an adult fish. Sad. :no:
 
psgill.might of been right.cause i went to an pet store today.most where a fourth of an gallon.but 1 was 1 and a half gallons.but it was 90 dollars

well I dont like that site you posted at all after I read this in there care and maintenance page for bettas:

"Bettas can be safely kept in these small bowls and containers for many reasons. They have a relatively slow metabolism and are not very active. They are typically slow swimmers and do not mix well with many of the quick tropical fish which are kept in large aquariums. Since they are not active, the small environment is not detrimental to the Betta's health. In fact, it is much safer to keep them singularly in these small bowls and Tiny Tanks than in tropical community aquariums. Bettas are incredibly adaptable to water conditions, which is another great reason to keep them in small bowls."

they obviously dont know what they are talking about if they say bettas are inactive and should be kept in small spaces, all my bettas are very active and enjoy all the space they have.

they continue to mislead uneducated people by saying

"Bettas do not require much maintenance in order to be happy and healthy."
even though its true its not hard to care for them, by saying that people think its ok to just plop em in a cup and theyll be fine.

blahh :/ how can you have a proffesional site dedicated to the care of one creature and not even put the proper information on it to educate people, I hate sites like this.

(Sorry if I hijacked this post :*) )
 
i aw those at a petco and read the boxes, i found 2 that were a gollon and sum more that were only 1/2g i think in a 1/2g a betta could survive sumwat comfortably but it would need to be cleaned good often, and have the plants and rocks removed.

I totallly agree with ya! I mean bettas are very active!
 
tell me about it.mine is very active.they dont look active in store since there is no room 4 them to move.oh when i was talking about the 1 and 1/2 aquriums.i met the glasss ones.oh guees what.i saw all crow tails in a pet store.they where all 1/2 red and blue.they didnt have any other kinds or colours of bettas or tail types.if u want 1.go to serramonte pet store.(south san fransico)
 
Exactly what I was gonna say :thumbs: i mean just cuz they suck at keeping bettas doesnt mean they're dumb ol fish that act like crippled old granny's and granpas!
 
i wonder who even came up with under gallon tanks.cause they must of not liked bettas
 
i teel u why these people end up buying these small tanks.cause on there sites they fool people and say bettas love small places
