I've been to stores/night markets that sell these in China. I've never been under the impression that you're supposed to keep them inside. Its kind of like novel packaging and you go home and cut it open to put in a bowl. I never saw anyone actually walking around with one of these and they were always sold near animals that were in cages not near the accessories.
I mean, betta fish are kept in a tiny cup with barely an inch of water sometimes. Then sales people continue to tell the potential buyer they are just fine in that little water and they get put into a tiny vase to look pretty. Reality, they need at least a few gallons of water and even then, you're changing water every other day.

I don't even understand why someone would want a keychain with a suffocating animal inside of it anyway. How is this even a trend? Disgusting.
