      The vodka bottle design is particularly terrible for the fish. This is animal cruelty.

      most of these show bettas which don’t need heaters and pumps, however it shows you how to install both in the instructions if you choose to have something besides bettas. I don’t see how it can be considered ‘cruel’…

      • tenten 2 months ago

        Because most of them are way too small for fish to do well in.

      • jessicarosel 2 months ago

        bettas do better with pumps and heat. they get depressed in small spaces and stop eating. people just think they are decoration….

      • Betta Fish Awareness Day 2 months ago

        Actually, Betta fish are tropical fish that do require a steady temperature of 76 to 86 degrees, with the ideal temperature range at 78 to 82 degrees. Betta fish that are exposed to cold water can suffer from loss of immune response, loss of color, and illness. In addition to the lack of heating capable in these tanks, there is no easy way to change the water and maintain water quality. Clear water is not a sign of clean water. Ammonia is the # 1 killer of fish. It is an invisible chemical released through fish exhale, poop, and uneaten food. If the tank is not going to be wired for filtration, then it should have more frequent water changes in order to ensure water quality. Overall, these tanks do not benefit the animal and are more akin to keeping a dog locked in a tiny cage for it whole live. The animal can survive but it will not thrive.

      This is really not cool. None of these are suitable to keep fish in. Where are the filters? And what is wrong with a normal large rectangular tank?

      Ugh I hate this post. Most of these are fish would be incredibly cramped, and the tanks can’t be cleaned and don’t have heaters.

      One fish needs 5 gallons of space! You’d be amazed at how active beta fish can be with a ten gallon heated tank. They don’t thrive in cold water!

      A lot of these are pretty damn cruel :\
