Wow You guys need to chill, Why do you always jump on someone like this.
One of the main reasons I don't post much.

The Tanks Are Really Nice Pico Tanks, Have had them before as planted tanks.

Gill totally agree, they look really quite cool just not for fishies perhaps, like suggestions above though.

You're right gill....
On a public forum which is meant to be a resource on caring for fish correctly and to the best of your ability (within reason).

We should obviously turn a blind eye to something that is going to
A) Inflict Suffering
B) Inflict permenant damage
C) Cause premature death.


Yeah you're definitely right...we should 'chill' and just not say anything.
Let people who don't know any better and who are taking things at face value make up their own minds with no sort of guidance...

No one is saying 'don't buy them', just making sure that no one thinking of buying one thinks that they are suitable for the use the are being advertised for.

Ps. As said in my post above, I don't see why the OP doesn't advertise them as some sort of pico planted kit. They'd be perfect for that by the looks of things, and very attractive and also have the function of being a desk lamp.

I agree, as fish homes, terrible. As mini planted bio-spheres, perfect a really sweet and adorable idea.

No animal should be housed in such a way that aesthetics and space limitations come first.

Yes, a betta could possibly survive in such a bowl, but for how long? Would you lock a horse in a stable for it's entire life, never able to come out for exercise or to play? Why do it to a fish? Is it because some 'stat' says that a betta can survive in that small space? Because you see them housed in a tiny vase temporarily in a shop and think that makes it OK? Because they're not cute and fluffy, and you can't hear them scream when they are suffering?

When providing a home for a living being you take on the responsibility for the health and happiness of another creature. Why should a creature be forced to just exist? Do they not deserve space to swim, room to explore, things to do?

When providing a home for a living being we should consider what they need and would want, not what we can fit/afford/like the look of. If we can't do them justice, we should not take the animal on at all.

These could be used for loads of other cool things - why advertise them as a home for a living being, when they would be no better than a cell for them?

They may be nice pico tanks but the seller is describing them as 'betta tanks' so he is implying that they are suitable for a betta to be kept in them permanently.

It's like a broken record though, it's turned into a thread where users are bullying the OP! all it takes is for one person to say 'no, they are too small for bettas because of this reason and that reason but perhaps you should advertise them as pico tanks or tanks for raising brine shrimp where you would have more success in selling them.'

For the OP you need to give a guideline price for these tanks as people are more likely to make you an offer if you give them and idea of what you are looking for for each tank. I also suggest you change the title of your topic to exclude the word 'betta' before you are stoned to death.

I'm going to close this thread now, dave1987. You would have been better off posting it in the Classified section where it belongs.
