On a second note, how big are those containers the bettas are in? In my opinion no fish should be kept in any less than 5 gallons and that just looks like a cup tbh.

paytertot said:Their wild habitat is sort of a moot point considering how far removed they are from them. IME most of the bettas we buy are just bred in tanks and any fish should be kept in at very very least a 3 gallon tank with filtration. Bettas like heat too. It wouldn't be so bad if there was filtration, but there isn't so the fish is going to be experiencing toxic levels of ammonia.
But let's stay on topic, eh? Wouldn't want to get in trouble. I respect your opinion too.
