Cool pics there and a nice betta
Nice glass you got him in
In some fish large eyes unproportional to the body can indicate stunting.

should i worry about his eyes?

is it stunted? honestly i wouldnt put a betta in a 'bowl' like that

ive seen them in smaller bowls than that at my lfs, although i dont think i would be able to put them in one. they need a good water surface area as they breathe air. although that fish looks pretty healthy to me, and quite large considering he may be "stunted" (which i doubt)

its a 1 gallon bowl, and i think ite pretty genous compared to the small bowls ive seen, what size tank do you recxomend, and may i ask why and how could he be stunned???

and should i worry?

 

[betta one]

may i suggest a bow front with no divider(u can take it of) he looks quite good in there.how ofton and how much do u feed im and do water changes?

No.
There like that with many bettas it seems.But there might be a chance it was stunting, I have no proof though, just a theory.
Even if it was stunted I doubt it would have much affect on a betta.My betta is in a 10gal with an external filter and heater, but he probably got the best tank any betta could get I would reccomend a 3gal with a small filter and heater unless the ambient temp is above 23c.
Shops only use tiny bowls/tanks because it is to much hassle to provide a betta's the reccomended room.3 gal tanks with a 1' fish in each, they're not going to do that...Well they might.

thanks cheesy feet, your answer really helped, he does have one of the hagen mini heaters but ok thankyou

oh btw i do one cup water changes about everyday and i only feed him about 3 betta pellet things once or twice a day

 

[betta one]

i feed the same amount lol
u can just do a 100% water change weekly like me
