I'm getting in touch with the buyer. It's the best way.

Hello.  I am getting in touch about an item you are bidding on (the glass block fish tank).  I realy hope that you are not going to put any fish in there as it would be very bad for them.  Tropical fish need a filter, heater and a lot more water.  Otherwise they will die very quickly.  Coldwater fish cannot live in there because they cause to much waste to be diluted in such a small amount of water and/or need more room to swim.  Please imagine a dog in a small cage being filled with toxic gas.  It is the same principle.  Please do not use this for it's purpose or retract your bid on the grounds of cruelty.  It is a rip off, you could get someting far better for fish for the same.  The seller has been emailed about this but denies the facts.  Please email me should you need any more information. Perhaps also look at fishforums.net where people will be happy to help you come to a decision.  Thanks for your time.

Not much more we can do.

Just thought I'd let you and everyone know...Sending an email like that,is cause for ebay to suspend your account/accounts asap.

It's called interference with a sale.

Poor fish... that is so wrong, 3-4 weeks changing water, being squeezed in through a funnel and squeezed out through a small hole. Seems like he has a nice big house, he should be stuck in a closet and asked to wiggled in and out through a small opening. See if he likes it.

Well at least he didn't say that bettas don't breathe air. But still.. arg.

I take it you've all never seen these:

Betta Fish as decorations in a handbag. Yes, a handbag.

I sent the owner a nasty email and shocking enough, never got a response.
Horrifying.

Hi...although I think the treatment of the betta is horrible, and, being a new 'fishaholic', I think it's sad that someone has to make a buck off a small animal's suffering this way, I have to agree with BlueIce.....I think that a better way would be to email Ebay's support staff about cruelty to animals and flood them from emails complaining. THEY should request that he pull the sale or change his product. How 'bout a post suggesting members here email them? SH

[BettaMomma]

Yup, and can you imagine someone taking that handbag outside in winter?
How cold the poor dear would be?

Uugh - some people just make me horribly sick.

Email them your complaints!

Feel free to visit their website and voice your complaints to them.
I have several times.

These 2 paragraphs say it all:

Bubble Gear bags have been tested for nearly a year, and in that time we have never lost a Betta. The official Bubble Gear bag contains a Betta that we have had for over a year. He is very responsive, fins look great and has never been sick. Because of our familiarity with their temp, air and living requirements, the Bubble Gear bags have been well thought out and evaluated. He actually does well in temperatures that the owner of the bag would subject themselves to and opening the container to feed him daily reoxygenates the water. Frequent water changes assist in adding to his comfort as well. Betta fish are known to live for several years and there is no reason they won't live just as long in the Bubble Gear bags.

The Bubble Light illumination accessory is offered to light up the tank at night or in dark environments such as a night club or restaurant. The Bubble Light illuminates with a bright LED light which contains a simple on/off switch and is available in Blue, Yellow, Red or Purple!
