I agree, unkind to the fish. Plus, that tiny amount of water would have to be changed almost daily to deal with the large amount of waste a goldfish produces.
When you say your house is cold, what do you mean? Most Vandas are warm growers.
Added lated: That's also too small for a betta. I know pet shops sell tiny little containers but they're really not big enough.

Our house stays at about 70 degrees, but I keep my vents closed to keep my room a bit warmer. The window faces west, so it gets a lot of afternoon sun and the windowsill heats up a bit. I agree, Betta fish do need more room than Those tiny little cups. I've been raising and breeding fish (including Bettas) for over 10yrs. It doesn't look like it, but that's almost a half gallon of water in the vase, which is sufficient for a small female Betta. If the water quality goes south, or the Betta appears stressed I'll absolutely move her to a larger tank. I may just add a few ghost shrimp and see how they work out in the system. I just don't think inverts would appreciate the fertilizer. Copper and many other things will kill Invertebrates Quite quickly.
