how much experience?well with betta my dad taught me a lot, but on my own about 8 year, now i know your saying thats not as much as your but it doesn take a 15 year fish expert to say keeping bettas in small jars is cruel, fish in gereral, about the same.happy or unhappy, well they are still living things and they have feelings, they can remember things like feeding times and each have their personallity.they may not have the same mental capaticy as humans do, but that doesnt give you the right to treat them as retarde keeping them in jars and cups for theyr entire life.

oh and scubakid, "puffers are not accomodated to live in small quarters as bettas are "
bettas are not adapted to be kept in small volumes of water, not with their long fins, in the wild they have huge amounts of shallow waters to swim in.just because they get daily water changes doesnt make it better, so they are living in clean 32oz of water,still too small. he may have posted this topic to show his setup but why cant people post replys that arent all "wow fantastic" or "looking good".is all hes expecting is good comments?
