[veganchick]

LOL! agreed!

[dramaqueen]

Aren't all our bettas spoiled? lol

[veganchick]

lol :P It was so funny when I went to the store to get treatment for my friends betta, the lady working there was like " The dosage only goes down to a gallon, your bettas container is prly smaller that that" and my friend just smiled cuz her betta has a 12g ecplipse all to himself!

They shouldn't "assume" that you have your betta in a tiny container.

It is just the typical response...especially since pet stores usually display them with those little environment sets 'Just for Betta' I went to Pets Mart yesterday to do some pricing and get dimensions on some tanks to start buliding my new community tank, and wanted to cry looking at all those Bettas in those tiny little containers with the blue water unable to even swim around...I wanted to buy them all up...but then, where would I put them?? Poor babies...

Too bad bettas can't live together or they'd have them together in one tank.One of my bettas came from a large tank that had other fish in it, I don't know what kind. He's always been healthy. "crosses fingers" . Of course, he was the only betta in the tank. He's also always been in a larger container than the rest of mine.And he didn't come from Petsmart. lol

ya, I agree. I was looking online for new decor for my bettas tank and I came across a "betta bowl" that was 4.5" in diameter! Dramaqueen, Where did you get the betta from the big tank?

[OscarsMommy]

I feel bad buying from Petsmart, because of the set up for their Bettas make me want to cry...but I saw Oscar all cramped in that little cup and when I walked past, he "swam", more like shifted slightly to his left...to the side of the 'cup' and it looked like he was saying "Take me Take me Take me" I listened...bought what I thought I needed and got him...he's made 3 moves from his lit'l cup, to his finally(hopefully) home, his 10 gallon tank...I wish they could get along with one another, they are sooooooo gorgeous and such characters!!

I know this isn't my thread, but how much decor/plants can you put in their tanks with out crowding him? I want to rennovate his home soon and want to make sure I do it to benefit him, not hurt him....

Thanks much!!!
