This reminds me of the time my mother received two betta fish as gifts and kept them in glass vases with real plants. No filtration, rarely cleaned, barely enough room for them to swim around in with the roots hanging in the water. She insisted that this was acceptable for them. They both died within ten days.

A lot of people seem to feel that, because they are initially inexpensive, small pets (and even larger animals you can find for free, like cats or dogs) are "easy to care for" and disposable. Giving it a good life is never on their agenda; it's always about their companionship or their entertainment or their learning experience.

Poor bettas. :( And yeah, it's sad those gift sets are still okay. I'm surprised the bettas didn't fight to be honest.

I suspect you're right. It just made me laugh that this lady was -so- riled up that they refused to sell her a goldfish on the fact she was going to keep it in a bowl. But she was going to buy a bigger one later~ Although like I said, that fact just proved she had no clue. Oh well. :/
