just found this this morning.

I have measured 6oz. of water, and put it in one of my DRINKING glasses. I have added the tape measure to show the size of the glass. The above has to be less than even wild bettas live in.

PetWorld here in Madison was packaging these in easter baskets, along with a little envelope of food and some easter grass - and with that purchase, you got a free betta.

Nice easter gift, eh?

To add a bit more perspective to their size, they are probably about the size of a small softball.

Makes me irate.
I shove them all to the back of the racks when I go into PetWorld.

My shampoo bottle has 6.5 OZ of shampoo! That's more than how much water that betta has to swim in.

Good one

I've seen bowls like that at one of my LFSs... they keep them on a shelf that's out of sight, though, and they're completely covered in dust. I'm not sure they've ever sold one

They had the same size bowls at the craft store yesterday. It made me ill to think of anyone keeping a Betta in one. Lucky for the store, they didn't advertise them for Bettas. Otherwise, some unlucky clerk would have had this to deal with------------>
