my grandma had two of those "betta in a vase", really did'nt know any better at the time to advise her to get something better. And, rosita, I'm trying to get a baracks system going for breeding, but my fish are not gonna be sold to anything less than a 2.5g. I've got the space and time to make sure they don't end up in a little bowl or flower vase. ALSO, if the barracks comment was about me putting them in contianers like that, I'm not jarring my fish, no way thats gonna happen, everythings geting divided tanks that are plumbed together, the baracks ?'s were only because of me not knowing what it was.
