To put it simply, I was contacted to take in a betta fish that had spent most of his life in a mason jar and the rest of it in a tank that had not been given any maintenance other than when it was first set up. The fish was put back into his mason jar and the tank was drained to only a few...

Hi! This is my first post. I've only been a betta owner for almost a year now, and I'm always up to learning new things to help me care better for them :) I bought a sickly betta from pet world almost a year ago and he passed this week. I am very sad, but I was planning to adopt another from an...
