Betta shaming!!!!!!!!

[MaggieLynn]

Ok so most of you know about dog shaming where if your dog did something shame worthy you make a sign and take a picture. Well after my heart attack last night caused by Gail I decided to do Betta Shaming! So this is a thread for fish shaming. To start it off here are pictures of me shaming 3 of my 4 fin babies. Please share pictures and stories of your sassy and silly fish!

I went to go feed Gail last night and I get to the tank and she is no where. And she is in a one gallon tank. There is just a cave and a plant besides the filter and there is a lid with an opening maybe around the size of a quarter for feeding so she couldnt have jumped out. I take off the lid brace myself and look in the filter and her head pops up near the surface of the water. I go to move the filter lower for her to get out but she swam out before I could. Thankfully I cant sleep with the filter on and that I forgot to turn it back on that day. its a tetra whisper so there is room for her inbetween the filter cartridge and wall of the filter. Scared me half to death though. So I decided to publicly shame her.

There is a reason I named him polar bear. If I'm not paying attention to where he is when I'm near the top of the tank, I always get surprised by a hard nip on my hand/fingers. I never knew bettas could bite so hard until I got this one, and he will jump up a good inch to reach me to do so as well.

My fish jumped out of her tank through a hole about the size of a quarter, so it is possible for yours to do it as well. She fell about 4 feet and was out of the water about a half an hour before I found her. Thankfully, she is ok, but I just wanted to warn you that perhaps you should cover that hole just in case.

wow, Is it normal not to have fish that jump because none of mine have ever?

her thermometer is right but the opening blocking it enough so that I can only get pellets into the opening. thankfully that is there otherwise I might be worried. Glad she is ok! I wish I did this when I first had my sorority a while ago (gail is the only remaining member left my other girl is my baby from petco) anyway one day i couldnt find one of my girls and I ended up finding her under the heater, and I had two large under gravel heaters but one of them wasnt pushed down all the way in the corner so she decided to make herself a little nest.
