End Betta Cups Week is Coming - Betta World For Bettas
Join the End Betta Cups Movement
Betta fish displayed in small cups at major pet retailers face serious welfare concerns. People regularly document sick and even dead bettas in these displays. If this issue matters to you, please join us in speaking up for change.
End Betta Cups Week: October 18-24, 2026
Post a photo, video, or message about betta cups using #EndBettaCups and urge major pet retailers to end betta cup displays. By speaking up together around a specific request, we can make public support for change more visible.
You can post now, too! The week is a focused push to amplify the campaign.
Our Campaign Ask
We’re asking Petco, PetSmart, Pet Supplies Plus, and Pet Supermarket to publish a plan by March 2027 to end betta cup displays across their stores, either by transitioning to heated, filtered tank systems or ending betta sales.
We’re calling for a public commitment from them to move away from this practice.
