, how could you possibly know that.
the four split I am using, you can take out a filter and use it for four bettas, or in the last tribical or cubical or w/e you can pop in a little filter and it filters the water in that one and leaves a small water movement in the other tribicals or cubicals or w/e its pretty neat.
Seriously, dont listen to rumblesushi, you are totally right. I have a client from Malaysia who remembers catching bettas with her hands from tiny, muddy pools as a kid. They can live in almost any environment, and not only live, but thrive. I think your glass brick home is cool.
I think the glass brick is cool and provided you do water changes every couple of days it is also fine. I personally am pretty lazy about stuff like that so I keep my betta in a 5g filtered tank alone. I would personally not put one in anything smaller then 2.5g.
You could probably modify a light bulb and keep one in it. I'm not advocating that; just wondered if anyone was inspired to keep such an adaptable fish in a...glass cowboy boot? small TV? I know you wouldn't place one in a 400 gallon cichlid tank with Peacock Bass (GULP!) but a small cage isn't asking too much; it's acceptable. I advocate and DO regular water changes and since this guy is in such a relatively small environment we actually do use bottled water (!) to maintain stability. It's easy...HE'S easy. 3 years old now and he acts like a teenager on the strip at feeding time.
By that I mean he struts: "Hey girls-- I'm prime."
Even during water changes and today while moving his brick to take pictures of it: No Clamped Fins.

Anything above 70 Degrees, my friend. They're SO easy going. This one is at room temperature 72 and above. 80's in the summer. His colors shine year 'round. [smile]
I like the little bowl ugfs, turn the air flow down low with small bubbles and surround the lift tube with a clump of plants and the water flow is not a problem, I just like the way bettas poke around the tank if they have room.
