Model: Little Star

natural light

after posting this picture i got a lot of angry comments and notes, to avoid further confusion i want to make some explanation

1) A lot of people thought that my Little Star was harmed. NO HARM WAS DONE. Little Star belongs to [link] Betta is labyrinth fish, that means that this specie has lung-like labyrinth organ, which enables it to breathe air. So bettas need free access to the air (that's why the bulb is not full) but they need no extra aeration of water. Also bettas can't be harmed by small volume of water. They are transported and sold in the containers that have the same size as this bulb. And believe me, transportation is always much more longer than this photosession was.

2) Some people thought that others can think (yes, exactly in such wording) that i advice everybody to keep bettas in
tiny containers. This conclusion seems strange to me, anyway...
One of the most common rules of aquaria says: 1 sm of body length = 1 liter of water volume. This is minimal requirement. Some fish needs more, some less but the average ratio is 1/1. Thus, to ensure a comfortable life for 5 sm fish you need minimum 5 liters of water. Surely, you should take into account the possible growth of your fish. By extra aeration, filters and circulation you can slightly reduce the required volume of water.
I've already said but i want to repeat: Little Star do not live in this ball, it lives in 50 l aquarium, of course not alone ;).

So beautiful and creative. The Picture is so professional, it's like I'm going to a studio. I can't express how beautiful it is, you've caught my undivided attention on this. Personally, I'd add maybe some type of design in the black part, but apart from that I loved it! Very original,creative, and insightful! You'd never expect a Betta fish to be in an ornament, maybe a tank but a Christmas ornament!Adorable in my opinion! My words to you are keep it up, I see potential for you in this picture. Tells me a thousand words .
