First time Betta owner, please help! :(

Aw, that's good to hear. They are kept in such poor conditions in pet stores that sometimes they never really come around, but luckily he is doing better.

I agree that some of the information is contradictory--in the Betta Care section, there are two stickies, one of which is old and outdated, and one of which has newer information that most of our advice conforms to. I do wish they'd remove the old one to stop some of the confusion.

I came back from school today, and...he's gone. I feel absolutely terrible that my fish died after 10 days of being with him...

I don't know what to do, I feel like such a monster. I don't want to give up on owning a Betta but...I can't face myself anymore
