Very true -- it's something not a lot of people know or think about. Thanks for the input!

Thank you so much for the support!

Hey everyone! I forgot to give the update -- Petco did change their suggested tank size min on their Betta Care Sheet....from 1/4 gal to 1 gal in Oct 2021. Not great but it's something! :) It means now there is no top US pet retailer that would advise tanks under 1 gal for betta fish at least...

Hello again! Another positive development! Marine Depot updated their "Better Betta Care" website article to recommend a minimum of 5 gal! They originally gave a range of 2.5 - 5 gal as a starting point, but I let them know about the petition and they were willing to change their guidance to...

Hello again! I have an exciting update! LiveAquaria has updated the minimum Betta fish tank size information on their website! They raised it from 0.25 gal to 5 gal for male Bettas, and from 1 gal to 5 gal for female Bettas. Thank you @Fishmanic for pointing out here in this forum thread that...

Hello! Just wanted to add this graphic of the min Betta tank size recommendation in the care sheets of some of the top US pet retailers. PetSmart is Petco's biggest competitor so it doesn't look great for Petco to be taking such a different approach. If Petco can update their recommendation...

Really good to know -- thanks for sharing. Yes they definitely should change that

Thank you so much!! :)

Aw hahah, I'm sure you've helped avoid many fish tragedies that way. Thanks for the support!
