Aquarium and aquarium in my passion for plants, fish and aquatic world
Nor for the Betta splendens , which is the smallest among the freshwater tropical fish, and 2 liters are sufficient even for strategic common "goldfish", regardless of family, genus, species and breed.
And remember something else for those few (I hope) that caress the idea of placing a fish into cubes, flasks, bowls, boxes of glass or plastic that is: fish, amphibians and invertebrates are animals like all others, where abuse is punishable by law!
In some municipalities, such as Rome and Florence, was declared illegal to possess fish in aquariums with less than 30 liters. As is increasingly common in the municipal regulations of the rule prohibiting animals put up for grabs in fairs, raffles, amusement park and company any animal (which in fact were often kept in conditions worse, because probabilmenter result of luck and not a reasoned choice).
Some people may think why Raffaele came to mind this story ... the explanation is simple, as it is absurd if we want: I ran the advertising of ASKOLL of "mini-aquarium adorable 'combatants'", called just " Marina Betta Kit . "
And I repeat ASKOLL, so the last of the companies that manufacture and market products specifically dedicated all'acquariologia ... but how the heck he came to mind not only to put it on sale (maybe in silence, passing it off as an ornament, I would have been able to digest) but also to put a prize in their contest "ASKOLL THE CHOICE AWARDS YOU". Even 100 if they can win, which could potentially end up 100 poor little fish!
And I continue to disassemble this product by adding a phrase that seems crazy to me, "Marina Betta Kit is both the container of life and furnishing. It 'a gift for those who love nature but also the design "... and nature lovers want to keep a fish in such a short space? Little more than a bottle of mineral water (because many still buy ... even in Rome, where the water is great ... but we do not go off topic! )
The Askoll writes "furnishing" and that COSO does not need accessories or wiring ... and I believe, is NOT an aquarium, is a COSO, are 5 pieces of plastic glued. We call it "water CONTAINER", nothing more, and inside we piazzarci as a seedling in the picture, that is.
But fish please, please, please, NO!
I hope that AKOLL, if not to me directly or to the many friends who have written and write, at least meet acquariofile many associations that surely can not remain motionless in front of this product and advertising that gravitates around.

Well frankly it's not a big surprise, the poor betta now are forced to live anywhere including house plants ... also by producing Askoll aquarium for goldfish of 6 liters or 10 I did not expect anything better ...
Really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this point I also expect the 4-liter version for the fights, bets and their prizes.
raffaele and all present here
all or most of a betta splendis ask when you bring the glasses and you think that they are mistreating bad thing indeed if I put a little fish of any species except the betta would suffer because it is a fish that lives in tiny pools of water then is a natural thing for him if I put in a 30litri would feel in an ocean then we say that a betta can only stay there because it's true in nature that lives in Thailand and would feel very uncomfortable in a tank with several liters so before to say that those who design the aquariums I suck I think they are pretty well documented
> ... The first to say that those who design
> Aquariums stink I think so
> Which are documented enough
> Well
But either way! That is not primarily 'Betta in an aquarium and nature does not live in 2-4 liters of water, which then can survive for a while' in a glass, 'another matter entirely. I tried to keep a pair in thirty liters and the female 'a coupling term, after which' the male has massacred. And according to you in 3 liters a fish that can not even can reproduce 'live well?
no, of course NOT live like this except in special conditions, the fact we can survive does not mean that we're all right: you too can live in a studio, but I think you are better in a normal house is not it?
Should be answered, Mambra, because maybe someone might think you're right: the "space" is said to be problematic for who knows how many other species of fish, but this is not the problem. For example, many farmers are put in special containers that an individual fish to photograph it better ... but then take it away from there after a few minutes!
Bringing up a fish in a few cm means raise it even in a few liters of water and then in the chemical conditions and bilogiche very precarious. In 2 liters of water evaporation is also the simple chemical values vary drastically, as in 2 liters of water without a filter the excrement of the fish the "dirty" to dangerous levels very quickly, it's trivial ...
I have a goldfish in two liters of 8 years (maybe more) ... is a source of amazement to see him daily in his cramped environment vispissimo (I limit myself to guarantee him stability). In short:
_ Bottom with round stones (mucilage still far away from direct contact) + convex bottom of the tank (glass) that collects in the corners the putrid (not hardly ever smell)
_ Measured power (I can go on holiday to a week)
_ Some green algae on the wall there to leave the affected area for a while 'the sun
_ Peace of mind
- Small parts (better ricolmature)
- Drops to contain the effects of metals and chlorine
In 8 years he has risked a passage to hypoxia and starvation (hunger)
Hit it well with comments
There are human beings able to withstand years and years in the prisons of the underdeveloped countries in the East as in Africa, in a precarious supply and sanitation, with physical and psychological hardships. Life is therefore able to adapt and resist. But I would like to know what crime is guilty of your fish to deserve all this ...
The goldfish is a kind of carp, a fish of a ditch that does not require moving waters and crystal clear.
The square tank and minimal maintenance are guaranteed to live fish for 8 + years ... is not a goal for every small or large signifiicativo acquofilo?
I disagree with the approach to animal rights to 100%
And if those paragonassi lit aquariums and crystal clear windows in style Harrow's prisons, or golden, as the world of Truman Shaw? Leave the fish to decide between the red pill or blue pill?
I fear that all the speeches that start at the ideological conditions are likely to end up in "clashes of civilizations".
I just try to share the significant experience of a goldfish in a tank 2 liter and I tried to imagine how it could garantigli longevity.
I will not recommend this practice, or spread it, I consider it an interesting experience, however, is not it?
No aquarium has done in the past a similar experience?
I took another half-gallon aquarium: recommendations?
E 'with the usual plastic painted quartzite (green) and fake rocks and resin chessò. I do not like the synthetics, but I would try. I read the Betta and then I would say that is not the case ... some seedling and shrimp and / or snails? Tips on? type of water, power, longevity, especially "rustic" ...
In 2 liter, same as I did, I suggest you try to keep 2-3 neocaridine of the smaller species, like the beautiful red cherry.
