This is Ronnie. I fed him a young tadpole once, and to my surprise, he loved it.

awww! you gotta love a fish like that!

Smellslikechaos,

I have them in large vases with heat tape under them set to 80 degrees f. They get water changes every other day and 6 different types of food. All the vases has pathos and Java fern growing in them as well.
Thanks for asking

How many gallons are their tanks, dlp?

1/2 gallon max

Fighting fish really should have at least 2.5 gallons to live comfortably.

Yeah I know how you feel, but unfortunately buying them would be supporting the people who sell them.

x2 bigger is always better; if you are able to get bigger aquariums, your bettas would like it. However, if you change enough of the water every day, the ammonia levels will not get too high.

It's not really about the ammonia (although that is an issue), it's just about them not having enough space to move about in. And a smaller body of water will get dirtier quicker. Also, most people don't even give their betta's a filter. And while betta's can handle dirtier water than a lot of other breeds, it doesn't mean they like it or that it's good for their health.
