Small Betta Tanks

[BlueGuppy]

I know really. I would be scared if that thing fell

 

[White Whale]

These containers would be nice for a small aquascape with live plants and a couple of shrimp. How the hell would they be able to flair in that small a space?

 

[electric yellow]

Gah I see those little bitty things and just go . No wonder they don't live long for people, cause they can't do anything except eat and sit.

Betta Condo

Now I understand holding bettas in this while cleaning

Holder

Now how can they breath, eat...

Bulb Tank

Oh they all look so sad

 

[LauraFrog]

I quite like that lightbulb tank actually... would look great in a little kids room with some technicolour gravel, some (dead) coral frags and sea monkeys. I wish sea monkeys would catch on again, because the world would totally be a better place if they replaced bettas as the aquatic pet of choice for tiny spaces. You only have to feed them once a week. You never need to change the water, just top up evaporation. You can keep them in spaces like that comfortably, and you can have loads of them.

Failing that, can somebody PLEASE invent a Robo-fish? PLEASE?

 

[Neon.Tetra]

Surely people who see those and buy them MUST know deep down that its not appropriate? People aren't that stupid to see that the 'tank' is far to small for the fish to thrive in, no matter what they are told otherwise.

I think people are arrogant, not Naive when it comes to these. If they "don't know" how bad they are, they won't feel guilty.

i really want that bulb for like an ordament but no way any fish

 

[Honeythorn]

I love those bulb ornaments but as you say, not for anything living, no fish, not even shrimp.

I'd steampunk it and turn it into a mossarium though.

I have emailed the person detailing how its cruel and suggested instead that they put some hawaiin red shrimp in there if they must have a centrepiece.

What did they say?

 

[riogal_11]

I think the sea monkey idea is great. I used to get those when I was younger, but only a couple of them would hatch and I could barely see the ones that did.
I really used to think they were like little monkey too. I had no idea they were really just little shrimp.

They probably wont reply, they never do

The reply:

Dear saltynay,

I've been waiting for one of you people. First off, they will do fine in one gallon. Second, if you do regular water changes, as I do, they live fine. There is plenty of room to swim in this bowl. There is more water in this bulb than you think, just short of a quart. You know what, I'm selling like 10 of these things, why don't you botherone of larger companies that do worse on mass scale. I have been working with animals my whole life, and have had numerous businesses and rescues throughout, so to hear this crap from some fly-by-night PETA freak makes me sick!

1 gallon!?

its 1 litre!
