Okay, I work in a chain pet store and have long disliked the use of the betta "cup". I get WHY it's more "cost effective" but I know for a fact that before I was in the department.. only one person really maintained the cups on a regular basis and she is also the only person who does really anything over there when it comes to properly caring for the fish. So a LOT of times they got neglected.
Was kind of tossing the idea around to my corporate management when he visited about how there really has to be some kind of better alternative that is more time efficient(which is all they really care about and I had to pitch it to him that way).. that better houses the betta. Heater, filtration, at LEAST 2 gallons of water that is easily accessible for feeding and general care. He agreed and maybe I am just a bit of an idealist but I really want this to happen!
To the actual question of it if you've managed to read this far(sorry, I'm long winded!):
Is there some kind of "block" system similar to the way most larger tanks are set up in a corporate run fish store anywhere on the market? I know I've seen a few members here with small fish stores in various parts of their houses, etc.. is there a resource out there that sells huge systems like this to companies?
Googling hasn't turned up with anything really, though I'm going to try to reword it. Even if there isn't I really plan to pursue it and think I'll get one of my more mechanically inclined crafty friends to fiddle with this idea. I have an image in my head but am worried I am really too much of a dreamer.
