I’d go so far as to say 5 gallons are elitist speak too if they’re not wiggling at all. There are very few absolutes in the hobby of fishkeeping. I’ve talked to a few well experienced aquarists that say 3 gallons is the bare minimum for most and even preferable for older bettas as long as you never miss maintenance. 5 gallons is just what the betta subreddit says and gets parroted off.

3 absolute bare minimum, 5 gallon recommended minimum, 10 preferred minimum (for standard tanks) is what I was taught.

E: Guess r/bettafish is leaking here. Toxic bunch (seriously, one of the most toxic subs I’ve ever been a part of) who have to have things their way even if there’s no real basis for it - they sometimes push gross misinformation. And they always move the goalpost. Don’t fall into an echo chamber y’all. The only absolute in fishkeeping is that you need water.

I'm not usually as skeptical... in this case I was! There seems to be another artist by the same name who does religious paintings... so at first glance I was getting more and more skeptical.

The first video I saw was here:

...and I was a bit confused by it... is just applying a glaze to a photo? There is a picture of him holding a brush but you never see any actual progress.

Then I hit the first video I posted and my mind was blown.
