Just something I've always been wondering...
I know betta fish are better off in a large tank, but how come you can keep them in a 2.5 gallon tank? It seems a little cruel, especially seeing as they have such large and delicate fins, wouldn't the tank size stress them out?
Furthermore, if betta fish are fine for a 2.5 gallon, How come there aren't any other species of fish suitable?
Just curious because I am considering a betta fish...
