*The last two photos are of my male betta fish (Alpha) in this size fishbowl.
The first fish is my female betta Scarlett. She is currently the oldest betta I have (about two years old).
**The neat thing about these fishbulbs is that they are CUSTOMIZABLE to an extent.**
I use jar lids for the stand to keep the fishbulb upright. It just rests in there. If you would rather your bulb be at a different angle, you can easily change it! Just reposition the bulb and make sure the rocks are in the right place at the bottom of the bulb.
Now, I've very carefully and safely hollowed out these lightbulbs and washed them so that there are no shards of glass remaining that could be dangerous to a living creature. If you have any questions about a fish's safety, do not hesitate to contact me.
