So I blooping around on etsy when I came across this (awful) item for sale. This guy is selling live betta fish in wine bottles. His listing says:
Quote:This hand cut 1.5 liter clear glass wine bottle makes the perfect peaceful home for a beautifully colored Betta fish. Small powerful magnets with discrete steel bolts keep the top portion of the bottle gently attached to the base. A wonderful addition to wedding table and party centerpieces.
I'm sorry, last I heard, fish were living creatures not decorations!
Here's the link to the actual listing
Also, a lot of people have asked him to take his listing down and please don't force bettas to live in such a tiny "tank", but he has refused. He insists that it's fine. (Source from posts on tumblr, which alerted me to this in the first place.
