I know old but have to comment on the bettas as I was a betta breeder. Rice paddies first of all, are MILLIONS and MILLIONS of gallons, now... why the hell would you tell someone this fish that came from a rice paddy can live in a dixie cup for the rest of its life.
Sad....


Mine lived in a 55 gallon, males also lived together provided that there were plenty of hiding places and and space.
Silly humans, they don't get it

freaking Petco and Petsmart are the biggest hypocrites out there, they have so many poor creatures that are dead, barely alive, sick, malnourished, or neglected. Not so nice to find a dead hamster or a betta on its side in a filthy nasty cup.... crazy
uh oh ima quit and get off my soapbox cus its....
Feeding time for my r.aurticularis!! She loves those mashed peaches on a spoon..
