My set up is a fully functional aquarium with an air stone, filter, live plants, and fish, the only thing I don't have is a heater, nor do I need one, my betta is pretty darn healthy, he was near dead in the store and now he's flourishing. I was just pointing out that they can survive in not perfect conditions, I do not condone the keeping of bettas in bowls, I was saying that they can live in that situation but it's not recommended"Okay" is not thriving, there is a major difference between care that barely scrapes by and following the recommended guidelines. You need to do a little more research on proper care. Betta splendens are a species from Thailand (formerly known as Siam). Much of the country is classified as being Tropical Wet. If you need a little more evidence, here are monthly averages for the city of Bangkok, Thailand.
Your 'experience' is one of providing improper care. So please, do that research I mentioned before giving care advice.
