i was wondering if you take an extra large vase put sand it and aquatic plants with no filter what type of fish besides a betta work in it? would a scarlet badis work?
No no and no... Get a proper tank with heater and filter I won't even begin to rant.i was wondering if you take an extra large vase put sand it and aquatic plants with no filter what type of fish besides a betta work in it? would a scarlet badis work?
I like to think responsible keepers don't use any length of fish method. Bettas are by far the most abused fish in fish keeping. With the exception of goldfish or other "feeders".Just a quick question in some fish species we calculate tank volume as per length of fish, so as per that logic wouldn't a 8" dia glass bowl which is approx 1.2 gallons be adequate for a 2" betta fish? It has approximately 3 times its body length to swim in.Heck if you apply that ratio to larger fish like Arowanas it would be sufficient. I also tend to agree bigger the aquarium the better for the betta fish but the logic does't stick! Can anyone shed some light without using the explanation "it's like living in your car or closet your entire life" and what's the real reason behind the 5gallon rule for bettas?
I don't think it is wrong to justify claims! But what my question is can you compare it to their natural habitat which are rice paddies and puddles? Isn't it how they like to survive?I like to think responsible keepers don't use any length of fish method. Bettas are by far the most abused fish in fish keeping.

I'll rant.
If it were an aro, most people would have some trouble setting up a 300 gallon tank. But for a betta, setting up a 10 gallon is nothing. Just because you can squeeze it into something so small doesn't mean you should. If you have to justify your reasoning to put a fish in a small tank, don't get the fish.
Betta needs a heater too.
