Those of you with betta fish - what do you keep them in? -- (edited)

I thought a bowl was the norm but Google results mostly mention aquariums with filters.

A betta fish is a great way to teach N about life and death. - spamlet Apr 11, 10:46 7

  - As I said below, the worst part is cleaning the bowl. If you can spend a little to get a self cleaning one that will save you a lot of time. - spamlet Apr 11, 10:48 5
    - I just got a turkey baster and took the water from the bottom to water the plant next to it, then I'd top it off with fresh water. -- nm - Ender Apr 11, 10:52 1
      - "WHY DOES THIS PLANT SMELL LIKE SHIT???" -- nm - groiny Apr 11, 10:52
    - Meh. I think I'll just skip it. N knew nothing of this plan anyway... Thanks! -- nm - kelly Apr 11, 10:50 2
      - Honestly, that's the best solution if he wasn't asking about it. - spamlet Apr 11, 10:52 1
        
        He looooves fish. I just didn't feel like dealing with an aquarium again. -- nm - kelly Apr 11, 10:55
I highly recommend one of those tanks you see on TV, that you add water and it cleans itself a bit.,, -- nm - groiny Apr 11, 10:35 5
- If a plain ol bowl doesn't work, we're not getting one. -- nm - kelly Apr 11, 10:38 4

  - it will work, but for 15.99 or so, you can get one that is almost self cleaning. - groiny Apr 11, 10:39 2
    - If that's all it costs, do what groiny says. Cleaning the bowl is a pain. -- nm - spamlet Apr 11, 10:47 1
      - as long as you do it regularly, this tank is fantastic. - groiny Apr 11, 10:48
