"I've owned several Betta fish and usually keep these tanks on hand for when a fish gets sick or when I've moved homes. It allows me to better treat them with medications and daily water changes."

β€” Bleu

"Just because a betta can survive in little water space in the wild doesn’t mean they should be kept in a tank smaller then a puddle. This is incredibly cruel to keep them in. No smaller then 3 gallons for a betta, preferably the smallest being 5 gallons. NOT the size if a drinking cup!"

Bottom Line

Avoid this product for regular betta fish use. Consider larger tanks for the well-being of your betta fish. Use this only as a temporary hospital tank or for moving purposes.
