Went to a garden centre today and saw two males in the same chamber of one of these products. One of the males was beaten up, but as the other one was then flaring at another male in the tank it was then being ignored. I advised the employee and he came immediately to sort them out, resulting in another male escaping into the aquarium to square up with the male already having escaped this contraption!
As I looked at it further I noted there was a gap that the fish were able to get through, which you can see in this image.

I am generally impressed with this companies products but was appalled with this product, not only for the reasons above but also as it was for sale for those with little knowledge to put these fish into these awful containers.
I explained to the employee the importance of all in the hobby trying to educate people that this is no way to keep these fish, let alone the issues of the fish getting into each other's chambers! I also advised him to look up the cruelty video on YouTube about how these beautiful fish are stored in cups within a large store chain in the US so many deep that they just die!
In fairness to the employee he took the product off the shelf, and said he would return it to the supplier.
I would suggest as many as possible contact the supplier requesting removal of this product from the market. Interestingly it has some good reviews, I will most likely be adding one to help educate people!

As I stated earlier in this post, this company makes many excellent products, many of which I own, this however is not one of their better ideas!
Mods, I was unsure whether to put this in product reviews, however I was interested in others views and the reviews section does not allow for such.
Thoughts from other Betta lovers?
