It looks great..thatd make a pretty nice present...my birthdays coming up lol .. 
..anyway it looks good 
..anyway it looks good 
how does it stay warm?I'm a "dudette" btw ......The sad place is a 1.5 gallon bowl (6 quarts of water), that is changed completely every other day, the water is "room temperature". He is thriving, his fins are completely healed ,without use of medication,from his poor conditions at time of purchase. He has a live plant & a small flower pot, that were removed for the photo , kinda took away from the gum ball machine effect 
. Anyway, Betta fish belong to a group known as labyrinth fishes, which means that they breathe atmospheric air.
This came about as an adaptation to living in organically polluted water. Because their natural habitat is oxygen-deficient, they evolved an accessory respiratory system, another breathing organ, known as the labyrinth. These fish can thrive in a fish bowl, because they don't have to take oxygen from the water, as long as they can get to the surface. Their gills are too poorly developed to provide them with enough oxygen from the water. Any betta living in more than a "dixie cup" of water is a happy lil fish, IMHO.

Novel Idea LCnVa, but I don't think its a good one. 
I underatand what your talking about with the way he breaths etc. But Surely he likes to swim about. There doesn't seem to be alot of space for that in a bubble gum machine.
I know that there kept in small containers in the lfs but this is because there only there for a short time. All fish need space to swim, in as natural environment that can be created, and I don't think a bubble gum machine is this.
This is no intended to offend you Im just giving my opinion.

Hey Jam,
What's with the Canadien pond weed? I think I've seen you mention it a couple times in the past couple of weeks. Are you particularily fond of the Canadien pond weed? If so, you could post a pic of it (never seen it in the LFS here) and I'll head over to the pond in the field beside my house and pick some fresh for you and send it over.
Oh, by the way, Canadien is spelt Canadian, unless you're in Quebec and then it would be Canadien (masculine) or Canadienne (feminine).

It look really nice. you shoud see if you could custome fit a ugf to go in ther though so there would be some filtration and you would not need to change the water every other day.
