It's my bad to assume. I just figured someone would learn all they can before getting 57 animals. I know I don't know enough to care for 57- more so I don't have the energy with my illness. It suppose it's different when you're not sick. I prefer to have all I need prior to when I actually need it. I don't think my husband would approve of me not knowing everything there is to know before getting an animal. Hell he made me read books before I got my betta fish...

I agree with you totally.
A person with 57 leos wouldnt have asked those obvious things!
The first step before buying an exotic animal (but even a dog or a cat) is a very deep knowledge of the species, and your husband rules!!!

Thanks to him I have a very spoiled betta fish who feeds on live bloodworms, krill, and fruit flies. Lol. Long with a full natural 5gal tank complete with live plants! Spoiled little Paul. Yes, the betta is named Paul.

That's actually a common misconception. Lol. A single betta does okay in a small jar, but would you like me to lock you in a closet? Yes, you can live. But will you thrive? A single betta minimum is a 2.5gal, with a low cycle filter, weekly 25% water changes, a 7.2pH level (normal fish like 6.8ish) and live food. My Betta, Paul, is in a 2.5gal and he looks so cramped. He'll be upgraded soon'nuff. They also prefer warmer temps, 78-80F, anything below 76F and they get sick. I'm finding it more difficult to care for a betta than for a leo. I've read numerous books the last few weeks (since I got Paul as a party favor) and I'm completely shocked at the care they require as the pet stores lie (I don't know why I found that surprising!) about the care.

dont start to talk about the pet stores, i could be a bitch
About the betta, i guess you talked about the difference between "live" and "survive" and you're absolutely right about this.
