Consider resizing your pics to a smaller pixel and please consider getting them bigger filtered tanks.

Second that. There is barley enough room for them to swim in them little tupperware tubs.

They can survive in 18C but some of them look in a cold place with no lids.

The minimum tank size(for some) is 1 GALLON!. I follow that rule stricly and all my bettas are in 1+ gallons. The tubaware containers are 1.5 gallons and they are perfect for thembecause there long and more swimming space. I'd say its an upgrade from the tiny cups that there in at the store.

Exactly...they survive but i've never seen a happy fighter kept in cold water.

They are tropical fish....from the tropics (S.E. Asia) they are happier in warmer water...infact in the upper scale of tropical temperatures (ie 80-84 F)

I find keeping them in cold water to be as cruel as keeping them in unfiltered jars

I love the way you have presumed it is cruel to keep them in an unfiltered jar as long as there are regular water changes then they are fine!
I do agree heating is better however they could be on a heat mat but nobody checks to see if this is the case first. No on here its jump down someones throat then ask questions later!

Gave it away a little didn't you

I love the way you have presumed it is cruel to keep them in an unfiltered jar as long as there are regular water changes then they are fine!

And i love the way you DO presume that daily water changes are carried out...talk about presumptious

what so your taking what another member has stated rather than the OP as gospel that they have no heating? They dont need lids on their tanks so how is that point relevant! they look like they are in a cold place ####!! how can you tell from a pic that where the fish are kept is a cold place!

i thought that, too.

the size of those tubs are fine. It would have been better if someone asked if they were heated but, as usual, people jumped down the OPs throat.

I said nothing about Daily learn to read!

I am not presuming they do have changes but considering the condition of the fish I would presume they are looked after very well! But of course you know it alls know everything that everyone does with their fish without them saying it!

Very beautiful fish as well by the way!!

Just to clear things up..my room isnt exactly cold. My mom keeps the house very warm, and as i live upstairs its even warmer.

Cleaning

2.5- 1x a week
1.5 gal tubs- 2x a week
1 gal traingle thingy- 3x a week
1 gal jar- 3x a week

They are fed bloodworms in the morning and pellets in the evening 5 days a week. Fasting on sunday and pea on saturday.

Please don't turn this into an argument. I didn't realise the size of the tanks (tupperware tubs), pictures can look decieving sometimes. When i 1st looked it looked as though it was in a utility or something but a closer look shows i am maybe wrong.

double-trouble - I meant without lids they will lose heat faster, does that explain it?

Bettas like 77 or 78F I've noticed, and I highly doubt your house temp is that high or else you would be sweating at the computer right now. 5 gallons is the minimum to keep a healthy flourishing Betta. And ofcourse with a filter and heater.
