it is sickening on the part of the ones who make those things!!! because of them everyone thinks that tiny tanks with no room to turn are ok!! disgusting!
it a vicious circle, they buy them because they are told its ok and the makers make them because they buy them eventhough they are inhumane its very sad.
Some people think because betta's are slow fish. its fine for them to bein small cramped up cups because its safer. But yet theres more risks of Ammonia strikes etc.
I Hav'nt seen heater NOR filter in any of these witch has cheesed me off.
You are quite right ChesterScot. They would not be sold unless there was a market for them, but we are not that market.
I think I have seen this basic thread in every forum that has a betta section about once or twice a month. I guess it is our turn to vent and point out how inappropriate the containers are. Who are we trying to convince? I think we all know they are not appropriate.
I see the appeal of the 1st one it is after all Spongebob Squarepants but still not good. And how the heck is there room for a neon let alone a betta in the heart shaped one???
