"Nobody should buy this. It is cruel. No room to swim and will cause your fish a lot of stress and it will not live long."

Bottom Line

This tank is not recommended for responsible fish keeping. Consider alternatives that provide better living conditions for bettas and avoid stress and cruelty issues. Do research to ensure proper fish care and buy from verified buyers.
