Submarine Camp and Betta Fish

[carberryalex]

To whom it may concern,

I am in the Navy and stationed on a submarine. I will be going out to sea for approximately 5 months, and I intend on taking my betta fish with me. Here are my questions
1. Is this a smart idea?, 2. Will it survive with out actual sunlight?, 3. What can happen if there are slight pressure changes in the atmosphere? Do fish implode if there is a change to pressure?, 4. What should i bring for this guy to survive?

Secondary Question?: it became obvious to me that my betta does not get along well with others, he was that bully you knew in jr high, just looking for a fight. I bought 2 snails to keep the tank clean, and it seems they all got off on the wrong foot, will the snails survive?

-Thanks, Alex

as far as what you should bring, plenty of food and a first aid kid from bettatalk.com. Also a waterchange cup/quarantine cup. Might want to consider bringing a small mirror so he gets good exercise. Oh, a net is helpful also.
