Only good for plants...Mar 03, 2010
By Kathryn A. Mays Being the novice I was, when I was about 12 I "rescued" 2 bettas from a Pets Mart and put them both into separate, cheap, tiny little novelty tanks, and that's how they lived for about a year and a half until I bought my third one and put him into a 5 gallon tank. I instantly noticed the difference!
My 3rd Betta was flying all over the place, he was noticeably happier, responded faster (in a non-aggressive way) when I'd come near the tank, and he lived for a little more than 3 and a half years! My other two barely made it to 2 years. They were depressed, uninterested, slow to respond...everything you don't want your Betta to be. And once I moved them into larger 3 gallon tanks each, they perked up like none other!
Betta's need to be in 3-10 gallon tanks by themselves (5 or larger and you might be able to add compatible fish, though I wasn't willing to risk it). In the wild, they live in rice paddies which are thousands of gallons of swimming space and naturally aerated and filtered, and only live in "small puddles" for about 2 or 3 months (at most) out of the year during the dry season.
What's more, while Wild bettas may be able to take smaller conditions longer and survive better, the fancy bettas we see in the stores today are not nearly as durable or hardy and need more stimulation and space.
This "tank" has no filtration, has little space for the Betta, and isn't much better than the initial cup they come in. I'd use it for water plants; less cruel and easier to tend to, and it would look just as pretty!
For a Betta...no. It's just cruel to confine a fish, no matter how small, into that sort of an environment for extended periods of time.

Please think about it....Apr 02, 2011

No fish should live in a tank this small. There are many lower cost alternatives to "fish bowls" that in the long run will be less work and provide you and your fish a happy life together.

Betta Bowl inhumaneDec 13, 2010
By Psychgirl Betta Fish are tropical fish. They require a heated tank... tank, not bowl and a minimum of 3 gallons of water, 5 gallons even better. People sometimes say that these fish "don't do much", well it is probably because they are in an unheated environment. They are intelligent and can come to recognize their owner. This product is totally inadequate. Betta fish can live for years, but inside one of these half-bubble traps I can only imagine their life will be shortened. Yes, they are used to shallow water...... shallow water that covers a huge distance, not 4 inches. Please do not purchase this product, it really is inhumane for such a tropical fish. There are better products out there. I am disappointed in Amazon for marketing this junk quite frankly. It is not a fish tank, as the name suggests, it is a half a fish bowl. Soup is for bowls, tanks are for fish.

NOT Good for fish: but GREAT for Other things!Dec 10, 2011
By lc boros While I would never buy one of these for a live fish, making a planter out of one was an awesome idea. Originally I was going to hang it on a wall, but instead I have it hanging in a window and it looks great.
While these bowls are totally unsuitable for a live fish, there are many fun things you can do with them. Besides my planter idea, I'm considering getting a second and created an LED lamp, and I'm sure others have similar ideas for using such an inexpensive and remarkably sturdy thing.
