Four Reasons not to Use a Betta Fish Vase
Have you ever seen a betta fish vase? It's basically a large flower vase filled with water and maybe a live plant. There are quite a few good reasons why you shouldn't put your betta in one. This article will take a look at some of these reasons.
Space
The main reason why you shouldn't use one of these vases is the lack of space. Although there are relatively large designs, most don't provide enough space for your fish. Without enough space to swim around freely and exercise, your betta will be unhappy and less healthy.
Air
Did you know that bettas have a special organ on top of their head? Called a labyrinth organ, it allows fish to breathe oxygen from the air in addition to getting it from water. A betta fish vase with a large plant inside may prevent your buddy from getting the air that he needs. Without enough space to come up for air, he'll die.
Plant
Even if you do house your betta in a vase, you should avoid putting a live plant in there. A plant will only take up more room, which is already an issue with such a small amount to begin with. The plant also produces waste that will eventually cause health problems with your betta.
A common plant found in a betta fish vase is the peace lily. Some new owners believe that their betta can eat the plant and survive for a while. However, these fish are meat eaters. Although they may nibble on the plant occasionally, they need real food.
Water
Bettas are tropical fish, so they like warmer temperatures. Do you think you could easily regulate the water temperature in a betta fish vase? I think not. Also, the water will get dirty from waste produced by your fish and the plant if you have one in there. The vase will be too small to have a filtration system, so you'll have to change the water frequently.

dont you hate it how people keep bettas in small unheated vases with nothing to eat other than bamboo roots?
Yes, I do. It's really sad...the people think of the fish as nothing more than a decoration, and cram them in a tiny spot and leave them on a shelf, maybe feeding them once or twice a week. They'll never know what wonderful, curious, active little fish bettas can be given the proper care and conditions.
