Geeze, you can buy a real tank for almost that much money My 5 gallon was $30 + a few more bucks for a heater.

yea, i've seen those at the store.. they're so stupid for so many reasons.. a tiny little box without filtration, heat or a top for a tropical fish that needs room to swim and has a natural instinct to jump. Is it me, or is Deathco trying to be obvious that they want your Betta to die so you'll buy another?

Yup they always need to have a covered aquarium to prevent them from accidentally jumping out.

On that link to petco, under the item information it has a 'review' option, where you can write in about that item. As a suggestion it may be a good idea to write what you think about it being a very bad idea for Bettas, and maybe someone who reads it will think twice about buying it.
