Are bettas content in smaller bowls?
Bettas are typically sold in a small bowl, and because of how they live in the wild in very small pockets of very still water, it doesn’t seem to bother them one bit. You can’t really compare them to other fish, because other fish come from lakes, rivers and fast moving vast bodies of water. Bettas simply don’t. They come from very tiny, muddy, still pools of water, where most bowls are probably bigger than those pools for the most. So they can live no problem for long periods of time, probably between 9 months to 2 years is the typical life span of a Betta in the wild, as well as, captivity so they do just fine in bowls.
