About my design

by ryan oneal
i've always been curious as to why "betta fish" (or "siamese fighting fish") are always kept in such small fishbowls at pet stores.. and i've always heard that it's because they're happier in more confined living conditions. but i recently read somewhere (probably in wikipedia) that this is not true, but only a way for pet store owners to save space when selling this kind of fish ...

+ they are healthier and more active when not confined.



so, here is a hopeful reunion.

technically, the goldfish bowl would not float that high if it had that much water in it - in fact, the water level inside the bowl would share the same horizon as that of the body of water...

and that really bothers me.

i do really appreciate that you made your own type though. it looks really nice and the way you added waves into it does a lot of good.

actually bettas in the wild live in confined spaces like puddles. That's why they can live without filters n stuff! Yay...



I really really like how the text is water-ey.



$5!

Hey Ryan, I really like this design. I always get so sad when I see the bettas in pet stores. Poor little guys. Mine has a nice sized tank all to himself. :)

I like this one, I recommend you add some of those other colors from the fish into the text.

I'd like it better if the bowl had less water in it and the fish was smaller but I still like it a lot.

I think its getting a little anal, breaking down the physics of a fish bowl! I like it reminds me something you could see on woot.
