Does anyone have any favourites?

On several occasions I've been in my local mega pet shop, and overheard
the clerk giving the usual BS about bettas living in puddles in the
wild, and that they prefer tiny bowls. After the clerk moved on to
misinform some other poor soul, I told those customers what bettas
really live in (rice paddys) and that they will thrive and be gorgeous
in larger (e.g. 3 gallons or more) filtered and heated tanks.

I also showed them the Eclipse 3 gallon tanks as ideal starters for a
single betta. In one case I actually 'made the sale'.
