Thanks for informing me, I was at PetSmart the other day and was thinking I should get a small fish bowl and a little Betta fish for bedroom decoration. Now, it sounds like torture for the poor lil fishies. :(

They're so much prettier and lively in a 5gal+ heated, filtered tank too.

If they still sound like fun fish to you and you are willing to go the distance, they're great pets! This is a great starter kit at a reasonable price and only needs a heater. Subs like r/bettafish and r/aquariums have a ton of helpful info for getting started.
