Zoo med uses advertising gimmick, it's super effective! Betta owner spends money.
Wow, I never thought of this before! They should make something with this same principle for our own kids. Maybe I'll get a little talking robot that verbally abuses my child and induces his natural fighting habits. That'll give him some great exercise.
This "toy" is the equivalent of having someone break into your house, from your betta's point of view. Your betta will go nuts. You'll think it's funny. Maybe you'll leave it in his bowl for much too long.
If you're a loving betta owner, ready and willing to spend the extra money for the health and happiness of your fun loving fishy friend, don't spend it on something pointless and harmful. Instead, buy your betta buddy a bigger tank or a heater. Live plants will naturally clean the water and provide hiding places. Zoo med sells those little leaf hammocks for your betta to rest on (even I gave in, and my betta loves it!). You are a good intentioned fairy-fishmother for being so thoughtful, but do your research before you bestow harm upon your betta instead!
