a serious question that may have been overlooked and i shall ask again....
can i therefore divide a 16 us gallon tank into 32 sections and house 32 betta's each with 1/2 a gallon with the correct care?
and now i will ask in another way....
i have a 16 us gallon tank and i want to divide it into 32 sections to house 32 betta's.ive read that with the correct care i can achieve this. is 1/2 a gallon of water ok for a betta long term? will it stress the bettas out? is it somthing you would recommend doing?
BettySplendens: At what age do you start the jarring process?
Sieg: As soon as they start fighting, around eight weeks old, then they go to 5 gallon tanks, separated in 6 compartments.

I think it depends on the actual footprint & tank depth. Those are half height tanks, half of standard height. If your tank is shallow enough others do it, with a bit of research there is no reason you couldn't do it as well.
